There's been a lot of crystal ball gazing lately as many researchers, experts, and thought leaders looking at the economic forecast. Looking at giving USA data research, surveys, and assessing general nonprofit sentiment, trying to predict what 2023 may have in store for the sector and specifically for charitable giving.I tackled this topic in my live training with members of my&nbsp;Transformers Community&nbsp;last week. That session was titled, "Predictions &amp; Preparations for 2023 Fundraising." I say predictions and preparations for an important reason. It's one thing to predict or anticipate what may likely happen, but those predictions are useless unless we prepare for those likely scenarios.As Abraham Lincoln once said, "The best way to predict the future is to create it." In this episode of The Intentional Fundraiser podcast, I want to share my five predictions informed by many brilliant minds and bodies of research across the sector. While I took a deeper dive into my live class with members of my&nbsp;Transformers Community, I'll share a lighter version of how we may best prepare for what will likely, probably, and possibly happen.&nbsp;Take a listen.Resources mentioned in this episode&nbsp;Donor Advised Fund Search30.

One week ago today, on January 25, 2023, the Fundraising Transformed team hosted Transform23&nbsp;– our first annual Fundraising Transformation Virtual Summit. It was phenomenal.&nbsp;Not flawless,&nbsp;but phenomenal.My heart is&nbsp;still&nbsp;so very full.&nbsp;In this episode of&nbsp;The Intentional Fundraiser podcast, I want to unpack that experience for you for a number of reasons.First, there were ten incredible speakers sharing exceptional research, insights, and innovations. I want to&nbsp;share a few of the highlights with you&nbsp;and let you know&nbsp;where you can get free access to a collection of the recordings.Many of you stayed for the marathon of a day starting at 9 AM and ending at 8:15 PM eastern. Some of you would come-and-go based on your affinity for the speaker and interest in the topic. Some of you attended as you were able, based on your schedule. Some of you just couldn’t attend. Your schedule wouldn’t allow you to participate. Or the time zone didn’t work for you. Or you simply couldn’t get registered. I mean, we only had 1,000 spots available. In fact, so many people reached out after we reached our maximum of a thousand attendees, asking&nbsp;“can you pleeeeeease get me in?”&nbsp;– as a result, we expanded registration to 1,400.Secondly, I want to unpack Transform23 to&nbsp;give you a glimpse behind the scenes.&nbsp;Just like you with your fundraising events, so often there are unexpected bumps along the way that your guests would never be aware of – and you rose to the occasion.I want to&nbsp;pull back the curtain and tell you about those unexpected challenges, and how they were eventually resolved by surrounding ourselves with a great community, our collective tenacity, and frankly a lot of grace.It happens to all of us, and it’s completely survivable. Believe in your ability to figure things out.And lastly, I have a lot of people to thank. And some&nbsp;additional&nbsp;free resources for you from our incredible speakers and sponsors.Take a listen.Resources mentioned in this episode&nbsp;Join our Transformers community&nbsp;and get free access to the Transform23 collection of recordings and slidesThe&nbsp;Executive Summary&nbsp;for ‘Meaningful Philanthropy in the 21st Century: The Role of Self’Free Digital Copy&nbsp;of Human-Centered CommunicationCreate a free BombBomb account&nbsp;for nonprofitsTransform23 session notes captured and produced by&nbsp;Charissa Burns Studio.Book the amazing Dileonte Jones&nbsp;to perform at your next eventGet notified&nbsp;when we open registration for Transform24&nbsp;THANK YOU TO OUR SPONSORThank you to our friends at Bloomerang for&nbsp;being a sponsor of&nbsp;The Intentional Fundraiser&nbsp;podcast.Bloomerang gathers the best tools, resources, and people in a single place and, through its donor management platform, empowers nonprofit organizations like yours to carry out their missions.<a...

In this episode of&nbsp;The Intentional Fundraiser&nbsp;podcast,&nbsp;I want to talk with you about gratitude and happiness today. There have been a lot of articles and a couple of great new books published on the topic recently.Just this week Time magazine published two articles, “The Daily Habits of Happiness Experts” and “How to Make Gratitude Feel Less Like a Chore.”At the start of the new year just about a week ago, The New York Times issued a 7-day Happiness Challenge to kick off the New Year. Subscribers to their Wellness e-newsletter were invited to sign up for the challenge. They sent one exercise a day to your inbox to cultivate happiness. You’ll find links to these articles and the books I’ll be referencing in the show notes.And just a few days ago SIMON &amp; SCHUSTER published a book called, “The Good Life: Lessons from the world’s longest scientific study of Happiness” by authors Robert Waldinger, MD and Marc Schulz, Ph.D. It was an 85-year study of the same people. They followed more than 2,000 people, across 2- generations, asking the question what makes people happy? I mean really happy.We all want to be happy, right?&nbsp;Take a listen.Resources mentioned in this episode&nbsp;New York Times 7-Day Happiness ChallengeTime Magazine “How to Make Gratitude Feel Less Like a Chore”The Good Life: Lessons from the World’s Largest Scientific Study of HappinessHappier Podcast with Gretchen RubinThe Happiness Project with Gretchen RubinTHANK YOU TO OUR SPONSORThank you to our friends at Bloomerang for&nbsp;being a sponsor of&nbsp;The Intentional Fundraiser&nbsp;podcast.Bloomerang gathers the best tools, resources, and people in a single place and, through its donor management platform, empowers nonprofit organizations like yours to carry out their missions.Learn how&nbsp;First Tee of Greater Akron&nbsp;doubled its unique donors, improved donor stewardship, and raised more funds in the first year with Bloomerang.RATE, REVIEW &amp; FOLLOW ON APPLE PODCASTS “I love&nbsp;Tammy and The Intentional Fundraiser Podcast”&nbsp;👈&nbsp;If that sounds like you,&nbsp;please consider rating and reviewing my show!&nbsp;This helps me support more fundraisers&nbsp;— just like you — become better fundraisers, faster.&nbsp;Click here,&nbsp;scroll to the bottom, tap to rate with five stars, and...
