Food Bank fundraising with Rebecca Hendrix
Rebecca Hendrix is Chief Development Officer at Food Bank of Northeast Arkansas. She joined us on the podcast recently to talk about food bank fundraising, engaging donors throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, and how to deal with the various challenges facing the nonprofit sector today.
Some of the highlights from our conversation include:
- Understanding the complexity and challenges that arise with engaging donors in a purely virtual environment
- Navigating crises at your organization and caring well for your people in the process
- Helping fundraisers balance the desire to remain remote with the need to engage directly and deeply with donors
- Why fundraising is “the highest form of sales”
- The key traits for successful nonprofit leaders
- What your organization can do to meet donors where they are today and engage them well for the future
