Bagley-isms

For this week’s post, I’m thrilled to team up with Sandra Davis, Founder & CEO of Donorly, to dive into one of fundraising’s most delicate balances: the relationship between an executive director and a development director.

Sandra and I had a few laughs, aha-s, and sighs talking about this storied relationship.

You’ve been there, I’m sure. One partner clutches donors a little too tightly, the other partner wishes someone else would just “raise the money already.”

In this piece, we map out how to share fundraising responsibility without tripping over each other — or worse, leaving donors caught in the middle.

Think of it as a roadmap for turning aimless wandering into focused partnership.

Until next time,
