Today my guest is fundraiser and impact growth leader, Alexandra Dumitrescu. In this episode, we discuss nonprofit funding. Alexandra highlights the potential of technology to enhance fundraising efforts and presents ways nonprofits can diversify income streams. We discuss e-commerce models, leveraging SaaS platforms, improving donor relations, and lost funding opportunities.
We also discuss initiatives Alexandra founded to help nonprofits create sustainable income and integrate social impact features in business products.
How might Alexandra's ideas (or some version of them) be applied to your project, organization, or partnerships?
How does this conversation reframe what you see as being possible in environmental education?
