I'm your host, Tammy Zonker, and I'm thrilled you're here. I've spent nearly three decades specializing in major gifts. I’ve seen how major gifts often form the backbone of an organization’s financial stability, and yet, I know many of us find this area particularly challenging. Time and again, I’ve been approached by fundraisers and nonprofit leaders eager to establish or supercharge their major gift programs. It’s become crystal clear that there’s a growing hunger for training and expertise in this area. I’ve had the incredible privilege of working with nonprofits from all around the world helping organizations collectively raise nearly one billion dollars. During this time, I’ve developed strategies and tools that have consistently helped organizations transition their mid-level donors into major donors through meaningful engagement. It’s a process that, when done consistently, can truly catapult an organization’s major gift fundraising to the next level. Whether you’re a seasoned major gift officer looking to refine your approach, a development director aiming to build a powerhouse program, an executive director looking to scale y…","last_synced_at":"2026-07-22T02:19:21.156884+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-intentional-fundraiser-podcast-4795105"},"episode":{"title":"A Modern Tech Stack for Major Gift Success","slug":"a-modern-tech-stack-for-major-gift-success","published_at":"2026-04-07T15:00:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-intentional-fundraiser-podcast-4795105/a-modern-tech-stack-for-major-gift-success","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-intentional-fundraiser-podcast-4795105","url":"https://the-intentional-fundraiser.captivate.fm/episode/a-modern-tech-stack-for-major-gift-success","audio_url":"https://episodes.captivate.fm/episode/614741e2-e0da-49b1-827e-4b5ab931d6f3.mp3","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.
