The Power of a Team-First Culture in Major Gift Success

Have you ever seen two fundraisers accidentally approach the same donor with conflicting proposals? I have—and let me tell you, it wasn’t pretty. 😬 

It’s a moment I’ll never forget because it taught me one of the most important lessons in my career: fundraising isn’t a solo sport.

In this week’s episode of The Intentional Fundraiser, I’m sharing how embracing a team-first culture can transform your major gifts program. 💡 From personal stories (like that donor mix-up) to actionable strategies, we’ll explore how collaboration can lead to bigger gifts, happier teams, and more engaged donors.

Here’s a question for you: Is your team working together—or just working in the same office? 🤔 If there’s room for improvement (and let’s be honest, there always is), this episode is for you.

🎧 Tune in now to learn how to break down silos, build trust, and celebrate team wins that make a real impact. And don’t forget to share this episode with your colleagues—because great fundraising starts with great teamwork!
