Think about the last time you stayed at a truly great hotel—where someone greeted you by name, remembered your preferences, and made you feel like the most important guest in the room. That’s the concierge experience.
Now imagine giving your donors that same level of care. In this episode of The Million Dollar Nonprofit, Tom Kelly breaks down how to build what he calls the AI Concierge Experience—a system that makes donors feel seen, remembered, and deeply valued.
You’ll discover a simple three-step framework:
- Recognize donors with personalized milestone messages they’ll never forget.
- Respond like a concierge with warm, instant answers powered by AI.
- Reward donors with small but meaningful touches that delight and surprise.
Tom shares real-world examples, practical prompts for ChatGPT, and proven tools like DonorBooks and CharityAuctionsToday to help you automate recognition, deepen donor relationships, and boost retention.
If you want donors to feel like family—not just funders—this episode is your playbook.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
