The Nonprofit Podcast Ep 191| The One Question That Keeps Fundraising Strategic in 2026
January is framed as a reset in many fields. Nonprofits know it isn’t.
Budgets are set, programs are already moving, and fundraising goals don’t wait for the calendar. Strategy doesn’t usually break in the planning – it frays later, in the small decisions that stretch capacity and make sustainability harder.
In this energy-sustaining focused episode, fundraiser coach Britt Stockert shares one grounding question fundraisers can use as a gut-check for strategy, capacity, and energy – especially when everything feels urgent.
In this episode, you’ll hear:
- Why a grounding question works better than a resolution
- How it supports more sustainable fundraising decisions
- Where leaders quietly leak capacity during the year
- Plus, three practical moments to use the question to stay on track, especially when you’re tempted to add just “one more thing”!
If you’ve ever wondered what actually deserves your “yes” in fundraising, or how to keep your strategy sustainable when the year gets messy, this one’s for you.
