Episode #1 | Introducing The Fundraising Elevator

Join us for the first episode of The Fundraising Elevator, where we’re all headed up. We’re excited to bring you a fundraising podcast where we talk with experts, visionaries and great idea people about how to impact the nonprofit sector for good. Your hosts Samantha Swaim and Kristin Steele talk to each other about what inspires them about gatherings and how we can make them impactful for organizations and engaging for donors. They talk about the art of hosting for any gathering and how it can actually help close the distance between your fundraising event program and your audience in order to take donors into the heart of your mission.
