Summary
Too many tools? Too little clarity? And not enough hours to manage it all? This episode is for you. On this week's episode of The Intentional Fundraiser, I talk about what a healthy major gifts tech stack actually looks like, and what to do about everything that's built up around it. We cover the four core tech categories that matter for major gifts work, a five-criteria framework for evaluating any tool in your stack, where AI genuinely fits in a major gifts fundraising context, and a simple ninety-day tune-up plan that won't become another project on your plate. I open the episode with a story about two development teams. One had eleven tools and a monthly meeting just to coordinate them. The other had four and their best portfolio results in years. Here's the question the episode is built around: Is your tech stack making donor relationships easier, or is it one more thing your team has to manage around? Your answer to that question might be worth thirty minutes of your week. 🎧 Listen to this episode and share it with a colleague who's been feeling the weight of too many tools.
