That’s what I’ve been doing a lot over the last two years. And that’s kind of where I got my chops in fundraising and eventually made my way to Bloomerang when that company got started, and I get to talk to fundraisers, find out what’s working, what’s not working. And thankfully, I did the former because no one needs that novel from me. I was an English major, so it was basically work at a marketing agency or write the Great American Novel. I always did.” So that’s kind of how I fell into it. “You never wanted to work for nonprofits. So she’s always kind of annoyed that I get to do things like this. We were sending DVDs in the mail for Capital Campaign, if that kind of ages myself a little bit. So my first kind of gig out of school was producing videos like Gala videos. I ended up working at a marketing agency that just so happened to serve nonprofits exclusively. She’s achieved that goal, but I sort of fell into it kind of backwards. But I met my wife in college, and she always aspired to be a nonprofit person. Well, it’s funny, I was thinking about this because the story always kind of annoys my wife so now that we’re going to record it, she can relive it, I guess. But I always like to ask people, since I do focus on storytelling so much, what’s your story? Why are you who you are today? So I’ve shared your bio and I’ve mentioned your superpower, which I’m excited to utilize today-to harness for all of us today. We had you on The Kindful one, and I learned a lot from you. We’re going to have you on the webinar series. I learn things and we get to share more things with people out there who want to create more heroes for their cause. We’ve known each other for a little while now, and I’m excited every time I get to chat with you. An awesome superpower that I’m excited to bring Steven on to demonstrate and help us all with today.

Steven describes his superpower as helping nonprofits humanize how they use technology to aid in their fundraising efforts. He is the author of “Robots Make Bad Fundraisers,” an awesome title, subtitled “How Nonprofits Can Maintain the Heart in the Digital Age,” which was published by Bold and Bright Media in 2020. Actually, no, I’m going to be one of those in a couple of months here.

Previously, there have been a lot of studies that have purported to demonstrate that data-that the giving in the U.S. Today, we’re going to dive deeper into one of the aspects that we’ve been focusing on recently, which is, what is the data saying about giving in the U.S.
