NEW Podcast Episode – It’s Time to Move on From Moves Management

When moves management was first introduced as a strategy to help fundraisers manage their caseloads, it was a step forward in putting some much-needed structure around the donor pipeline.

In this podcast episode, Richard and Jeff share an alternative approach to moves management that will allow you to move your focus back to your donor. Listen here.

NEW Podcast Episode – How The Veritus Way Changed Our Work with Partners: An Interview with the East Texas Food Bank

At the AFP Conference last summer, two fundraisers from the East Texas Food Bank reached out to Jeff.

We felt so inspired by the conversation and the long-term results they’re seeing now, two whole years after taking our course, that we invited them to join us on the podcast. Listen in to hear from Hannah Harris, Donor Engagement Advisor, and Alex Fruth, Director of Development for the East Texas Food Bank, about how The Veritus Way has made an incredible difference in their work with donors.
