In this episode of What the Fundraising Podcast… Fundraising and community-building are more about transformation than transactions. Real, lasting impact begins with authenticity and connection. When we invite people to our work, we are not just asking them for donations; we are inviting them to believe, belong, and build. Belief is earned through trust and care. People stay when they feel valued and seen. They will help carry your vision forward.  Joining us today is Floyd Jones, speaker, coach & community builder, and social impact leader. His mission is to help nonprofits and goal-oriented entrepreneurs build sustainable, committed communities that drive lasting impact. He believes that a strong community is the heart of an impactful mission. He joined us today to talk about the importance of authenticity and deep connection in fundraising and community building.  In this episode, you will be able to,  - Discover the difference between a transactional connection vs. a transformational connection. - Learn how to create a lasting connection with people. - Learn how to nurture connection into belonging.  - Discover how to stay grounded in hard times.  Get all the resources from today’s episode here.  Support for this show is brought to you by Donor Perfect.
