Stop treating summer like a fundraising break.The nonprofits that have a calm, confident September are not scrambling to reconnect with donors. They spent June, July, and August building relationships.In this final episode of Season 8, I explain why summer stewardship is one of the most overlooked opportunities in major gifts fundraising. While many organizations focus on events, planning, or internal projects, the strongest fundraisers are staying close to their top donors.The truth is simple: the work you do this summer determines how your year ends. If you want bigger gifts, more unrestricted revenue, and stronger donor partnerships, now is the time to invest in relationships.What you'll learn in this episodeWhy summer is one of the most important seasons for major gifts fundraisingHow donor relationships built in June, July, and August impact year-end resultsThe mistake many nonprofits make after a busy spring fundraising seasonWhy consistent communication creates trust and leads to larger giftsHow to stay connected with donors without feeling transactionalWhat true donor partnerships look like beyond writing a checkWhy unrestricted revenue grows when trust growsHow strong stewardship helps donors feel connected to your missionThe difference between taking donors for granted and intentionally investing in relationshipsHow to create a more peaceful, successful end-of-year fundraising seasonAt the end of the day, major gifts are not built in November and December. They're built months earlier through trust, communication, and consistent relationship-building. Summer stewardship isn't extra work. It's the work.Want 15 leads in 5 minutes?

Stop trying to earn donor trust with polished updates.In this episode, I’m giving you a behind-the-scenes look at a training I recently led inside Courage Lab. These are the kinds of conversations we have with nonprofit leaders who are serious about raising more money and leading at a higher level.This is Part 1 of a teaching on Million Dollar Success Principles. Not tactics. Not donor hacks. The deeper truths I’ve learned from raising millions of dollars, learning from incredible mentors, and watching successful nonprofit leaders do this work over and over again.We talk about trust, donor behavior, leadership, vision, and why so many organizations unintentionally create the fundraising problems they complain about. Some of these ideas might sting a little. That's okay. The truth tends to do that.If you want bigger gifts, stronger donor relationships, and more sustainable fundraising, this episode will challenge how you think about donors and your role as a leader.What you'll learn in this episodeWhy honest donor communication builds more trust than polished success storiesHow constantly sharing wins can actually weaken donor confidenceThe real reason donors ask for restricted gifts and more controlWhy trust, not control, is the foundation of major donor relationshipsHow a clear long-term vision helps you raise larger and multi-year giftsWhy donors stop giving when they run out of future with your organizationThe connection between strategic planning and major gift fundraisingHow donor behavior often reflects the leadership they're receivingWhy donors only know what you tell them and give based on what you ask forThe fundraising mistakes leaders make when they assume donors know what they needThe leaders who raise the most money are willing to tell the truth.They trust donors with the real story. They paint a compelling future. And they take responsibility for leading donor behavior instead of blaming it. That's what creates trust, partnership, and transformational giving.Want 15 leads in 5 minutes?

Stop doing fundraising that nearly kills you. Seriously.In this episode, I’m walking through the profitable fundraising swaps I would make every single time after helping clients raise more than $70 million. These are the simpler, more sustainable, higher-return strategies I’d choose over the exhausting nonprofit habits that so many teams normalize.Some of the most common fundraising strategies are draining your team, eating your time, and producing way less ROI than you think.If you’re an ED or fundraiser constantly exhausted by events, campaigns, and “doing all the things,” this episode is your permission slip to stop overcomplicating fundraising. There is an easier way to raise serious money without burning yourself out in the process.What you’ll learn in this episodeWhy house parties build stronger donor relationships than galasThe hidden cost of fundraising events that small teams rarely account forWhy major gifts are a better long-term strategy than chasing grantsHow restricted revenue is actually dangerous to the sustainability of your organizationWhy donors don’t need more control in order to trust youThe problem with relying too heavily on wealth screening toolsHow to build stronger donor relationships without expensive softwareHow to save years of loneliness and painful trial and errorThe fundraising strategy shift that creates more predictable revenueThe free, underused donor connection tool for nonprofitsFundraising should not feel like a constant recovery cycle. If your strategy leaves your team exhausted, overwhelmed, and scrambling every few months, that’s a systems problem, not a work ethic problem.If working harder was the answer, you’d be raising $10M a year by now.Want 15 leads in 5 minutes?

There are a handful of patterns I see over and over again when organizations get stuck around $300K in individual giving.Not because they don’t care. Not because their mission isn’t strong. But because of how they’re operating day to day.In this episode, I’m breaking down the biggest mistakes that quietly cap your growth. The ones that feel normal. Even smart. But are actually keeping you from getting to $1M in major gifts.From overthinking and waiting for the perfect moment, to chasing random strategies and writing emails no one responds to. And then the deeper shift. Learning how to lead with clarity, make decisions on purpose, and have conversations that actually unlock bigger gifts.This is less about doing more. And more about tightening how you think, how you communicate, and how you show up.What you’ll learn in this episodeWhy overthinking is keeping you stuck and why action is the only way to get real data on what worksThe hidden danger of relying on surprise big gifts and why it’s not a strategyHow “good times” can actually slow your growth if you stop investing in fundraisingWhy making up your strategy as you go leads to mediocre results even if you’re good with peopleHow to choose a clear growth strategy and stick to it instead of chasing every ideaThe real reason your emails are getting ignored and how to fix it fastWhat donors actually need to give. Trust, credibility, and a clear visionWhy hiring people who have never raised money is costing you growthHow every fundraiser hits a ceiling and why you need expert support to break through itThe biggest missed opportunity. Asking only for cash when 90% of wealth is elsewhereHow shifting to conversations about donor wealth can 4x or 10x your results with the same donorsIf you want different results, you have to stop playing small with your strategy and your thinking. Growth doesn’t come from doing more random tactics. It comes from being intentional, building real skills, and asking at the level your donors actually operate.Want 15 leads in 5 minutes?

You don’t need more time. You need a better strategy.In this Ask Julie episode, I answer a question from a CEO who just lost their head of fundraising and now has to grow individual giving from $400K to $1M… solo. No time. No team. No margin for wasted effort.So we cut the fluff. I walk through exactly what I would do in that situation. What to stop doing immediately. Where to focus instead. And how to grow revenue using the fastest, most sustainable path available to you right now.This is about simplifying your strategy, doubling down on relationships, and actually using your board instead of hoping they magically start fundraising.What you’ll learn in this episodeWhy your first move should be deciding what to stop doing, not what to addHow to choose a fundraising strategy based on your time, energy, and actual strengthsWhy major donor relationships are the fastest path from $400K to $1MHow to identify and unlock the money you’re already leaving on the tableWhat effective donor retention actually looks like when you don’t have time for complexityHow to use your natural communication strengths for stewardshipWhy newsletters are often a waste and what to do insteadHow to upgrade current donors without overcomplicating your approachWhy your board isn’t helping you fundraise and how to fix itThe simple messaging your board actually needs to bring you new donorsYou don’t need more tactics. You need focus. The simplest path is almost always the most effective one, especially when you’re short on time. Prioritize relationships, upgrade the donors you already have, and activate your board with clear, simple messaging.Want 15 leads in 5 minutes?

You’re not stuck. You’re just playing it way too cool.If you’ve been feeling discouraged, checked out, or like fundraising just isn’t working right now, this is your wake-up call. Because the problem isn’t your donors. It’s not the economy. It’s not timing.You’ve lost your edge.In this episode, I’m walking you through what it actually takes to shake yourself out of that half-hearted energy and start raising serious money again. And spoiler: it’s not another strategy. It’s audacity.I’m breaking down exactly what I would do to raise six figures in the next 90 days, even after losses, setbacks, or a rough quarter.What you’ll learn in this episodeWhy feeling discouraged is often a sign you’re playing it too safeHow audacity can instantly shift your energy and results in fundraisingWhy your current donors are your best source for new major donor referralsHow to get into high-level rooms by asking to be a plus oneWhat happens when you cold DM a dream donor and just go for itWhy you should be asking loyal donors about planned gifts right nowHow to turn volunteers and board members into real revenue driversWhy asking for 20x more changes how donors see you and your leadershipThe leadership problem behind underperforming teams and boardsHow dropping your ego and asking for help leads to real opportunities and major giftsIf your donors aren’t stepping up, it’s because you aren’t. They follow your lead. When you raise your level of boldness, urgency, and conviction, everything shifts. This is leadership. Not strategy.Want 15 leads in 5 minutes?

In this episode, I’m sharing something I’ve never broken down this clearly before: the core qualities and inner leadership skills I see in fundraisers who consistently close major gifts with more ease, confidence, and integrity. These ideas come directly from my own experience, from the work I do inside Courage Lab, and from watching fundraisers transform their results simply by shifting how they show up—not by adding more tasks to their plate.What you’ll learn in this episode: • Why separating your self-worth from donor responses makes fundraising lighter and far more effective • How your presence, energy, and sincerity directly shape donor conversations • Why genuine curiosity leads to deeper relationships and bigger gifts • How self-awareness and self-acceptance strengthen your confidence with donors • Why releasing assumptions and pressure opens space for more natural, productive conversations • How embodying courage and conviction positions you as a peer to donors—not someone seeking approvalAt the end of the day, what I share in this episode comes down to this: fundraising is an inside job. When you show up grounded, curious, and confident in who you are, everything else becomes easier. You build trust faster, your conversations are richer, and donors feel inspired to step into bigger opportunities.

This episode originally aired on the We Are For Good Podcast in their Working Sessions series. I’m sharing it here on my own channel so you can dive into practical strategies for closing major gifts this season.It’s giving season, and if you want to close major gifts in the next few weeks, this episode is for you. I walk you through exactly who to ask, how to ask, and how to approach these conversations with courage and confidence. No fluff—just actionable steps to help you move forward with clarity and impact.Here’s what we cover:Identifying your warm prospects: I guide you through how to focus on donors who are already primed to give—those who’ve expressed support recently or are “all in” with your mission. Stop overthinking and start taking action.Recognizing signals from your community: From emails, social media engagement, to personal encounters—learn how to spot the people who are most likely to respond.Managing mindset and fear: I talk about why discomfort is normal when asking for major gifts and how courage isn’t the absence of fear—it’s acting despite it.How to ask for more confidently: I break down the importance of being specific in your ask, giving donors clarity, and removing obstacles that slow their decision-making.Handling mistakes with humility: I share how showing up authentically, even if imperfectly, builds trust and strengthens relationships.Tools and resources: I offer my free Opportunity Brainstorm PDF to help you map your warm prospects and take immediate action.Asking for major gifts doesn’t have to feel paralyzing. By focusing on the right people, preparing internally, and showing up courageously, you can increase your impact and build stronger relationships with your supporters. Refusing to let fear hold you back ensures your mission gets the resources it deserves—and it’s easier than you think to take those first steps.Want 15 leads in 5 minutes?

 In this episode, I’m digging into the real shifts that happen when leaders stop performing, stop softening themselves, and start showing up with clarity, honesty, and real authority — especially in major gifts work. Regina, an Executive Director in Courage Lab, shares her experience of shedding the “always upbeat, always polished” persona and stepping fully into her CEO energy. She talks about what changed when she stopped trying to be overly cheerful for donors who didn’t need or value that, how being direct actually accelerated trust, and what she’s learning as she leads a new development director through this work. Together, we explore what authentic leadership looks like, why relationships deepen faster when you tell the truth, and how taking courageous action creates real momentum inside an organization.WHAT YOU WILL LEARN IN THIS EPISODE • Why donors don’t need (or want) a polished persona — they want clarity, vision, and real talk • How Regina realized she was draining energy by trying to sound upbeat instead of operating as a CEO • The difference between relationship building and performing happiness • How direct, honest communication fast-tracks donor trust • Why showing donors the real challenges — not just the “shiny penny” — actually strengthens the partnership • How her development director stepped into courage early, even while still learning the organization • The mindset shift that helped her team make direct asks confidently, even without long-term relationships • What happened when donors began engaging more deeply, referring others, and leaning into honest conversations • How consistency, authenticity, and direct asks created organizational momentum • Why Regina invested in Courage Lab, what stood out to her, and why the accountability model made all the difference • What changed for their board, their fundraising approach, and their long-term strategy • The transformation she’s already seeing just one month into the program — and what she hopes others take away from this work This conversation is such a powerful reminder that major gifts aren’t built on performance — they’re built on leadership. When you stop worrying about being overly positive, deferential, or “pleasant” and instead tell the truth about what’s needed, donors rise to the occasion. Regina’s story shows what’s possible when an Executive Director claims her authority, leads authentically, and commits to courageous action even before everything feels perfect. It also shows how quickly things can shift when a team has the right structure, accountability, and support. If you want to hear what this kind of transformation looks like behind the scenes — and you’re curious about what Courage Lab can unlock for you — this episode is absolutely worth a listen.Want 15 leads in 5 minutes?

Hey friend! I’m recording from my new apartment in Chicago, and I’m so excited to bring you Part 3 of my series on end-of-year giving strategies. This episode is a pep talk about the single most important thing I want you to focus on for a successful end of year: asking for more.I know it sounds simple, but asking for more is the strategy that makes the biggest difference in raising money. I’m talking about asking current donors, loyal supporters, and even monthly donors for more — without overthinking it, without worrying about what’s “too much,” and without trying to budget their philanthropy for them. Your job is to communicate the need, build relationships, and invite generosity. The rest is up to them. IN THIS EPISODE:Why asking for more is the #1 strategy for end-of-year successHow to stop worrying about what’s “too much” for your donorsWhy perfectionism and over-preparing can actually hold you backHow humility can make up for lack of know-how or misstepsWhy fundraising is risky — and why that’s okayHow to turn mistakes into stronger donor relationshipsTips for having confident, clear conversations with your supportersMy approach to determining ask amounts and staying decisiveHow to navigate awkwardness, conflict, and uncertainty with donorsThe truth is, most of us overthink asking for more, and that hesitation costs time, energy, and ultimately, donations. I want you to feel set free from the fear of asking for too much or getting it “wrong.” Humility, emotional intelligence, and willingness to risk are your allies — they allow you to make the ask, repair missteps if needed, and build stronger, healthier relationships.Whether you’re raising major gifts for the first time or trying to hit your end-of-year goals, this episode is packed with practical advice and encouragement to help you lean in, take the risk, and ask for more.DM me CL to learn about joining Courage Lab, my cohort for leaders who want to raise $100K+ in just 1–2 hours a week.Want 15 leads in 5 minutes?

 Hi friends! I’m so excited to share this episode with you because it’s a conversation with one of my Courage Lab grads, Cara Augspurger. Cara is the Executive Director of the Grace Care Center Foundation just north of Indianapolis, and she’s an all-star leader who has experienced incredible growth over the last six months.When Cara and I started working together, she was confident in operations and communications but hesitant around major gifts and board engagement. Fast forward just half a year, and her board has hosted an event that raised $273,000 in one night - with multi-year commitments and new major donors at the table. Even more powerful? Cara’s own confidence has skyrocketed.In this episode, Cara shares how she went from overthinking and procrastinating to boldly inviting donors and board members into the mission  and the specific Courage Lab strategies that helped her get there.Cara’s journey from board chair to solo ED  and why she invested in coaching instead of a bonusHow she made the case to her board to join Courage LabThe mindset shift that stopped her from overthinking major giftsThe event strategy that brought in $273k in one night (with 18 three-year commitments!)Why accountability, templates, and consistent invitations completely changed her fundraising resultsHow she’s now 25% ahead of her fundraising projections - for the first time in organizational history Cara’s story is proof that you don’t have to do fundraising alone  and that courage, clarity, and accountability can change everything. Whether you’re a solo ED or just feeling stuck, her transformation shows what’s possible when you stop playing it safe and step into major gifts with confidence.Want 15 leads in 5 minutes?

We’ve made it to the final episode of Season 6! Honestly, I’ve lost count of how many episodes we’ve done together, but I do know this: I’m so grateful for you. Thank you for being here, for trusting me, and for committing to your own journey of becoming a more courageous fundraiser, leader, and human.In this episode, I’m talking all about how to build confidence — and not in the fluffy, "say affirmations in the mirror" kind of way (though hey, nothing wrong with that!). I'm diving into the real, practical ways I’ve built confidence myself and how I’ve seen my clients do the same.Here’s the truth: Confidence is self-trust. And self-trust is built one promise at a time.I break down:Why we often break our word to ourselves (and how it erodes trust)How understanding your own motivation style (shoutout to Gretchen Rubin’s Four Tendencies!) can change everythingWhy your environment matters so much — and how to get in rooms with people who are braver than youThe critical link between courage and confidence (spoiler: courage comes first)Practical steps to build momentum, keep your promises, and track your growthPlus, I get into the difference between confidence and arrogance, how people-pleasing keeps us stuck, and why living by obligation will always dull your light.I share a few client wins too — like someone who raised $560K in just 6 months as a one-person shop. Not because they suddenly became confident overnight, but because they created an environment where courage was the norm.Take this with you: Make a list of the things you’ve been putting off. Give yourself a deadline. Tell someone. Take the risk. Track the win. Repeat.If you’ve been feeling like confidence is just out of reach — listen to this. I promise, you are more capable than you think. And building self-trust is totally possible, no matter where you’re starting from. I’d love to hear from you: What’s a courageous risk you’ve taken recently? Share it in the comments or DM me on LinkedIn — let’s celebrate together.If this episode resonated, pass it on to a colleague who needs a confidence boost today.Here’s to living by design, not default.Want 15 leads in 5 minutes?
