If you're like most nonprofit leaders, the answer feels like "somewhere out there" — a major philanthropist who just needs to hear your story. In this episode of All About Capital Campaigns , Amy Eisenstein and Andrea Kihlstedt are here to challenge that assumption — and bust the three most common donor myths that derail capital campaigns before they even get started. In this episode, you'll learn: Why your low-level annual donors may have far more major gift capacity than you realize The real reason most nonprofits haven't unlocked big gifts from their existing base (hint: it's not the donors) Why Mackenzie Scott, Oprah, and Bill Gates are not your campaign strategy — and what is The truth about what campaign consultants actually do (and what they absolutely don't) How one couple made one of the campaign's largest gifts after years of $50 donations — and why the organization almost missed them This is a must-share episode for board members, executive directors, and leadership teams who are still waiting for a magical major donor to show up.
