The Nonprofit SnapCast Podcast Dec 10

Practical Donor Management: Erin Straza

The Nonprofit SnapCast is an interview-based podcast focusing on issues in nonprofit management—from board development, to fundraising, to volunteer management, and everything in between. Hosted by Mickey Desai.

Mickey Desai and I chatted all things donor management on this episode! We dug into the importance of clean CRM data, consistent tagging, and documenting every donor interaction to track passion, advocacy, and giving habits over time. Key takeaways include:

  • You cannot engage donors well without a functioning CRM.

  • Passion is measured through behavior (attendance, volunteering, giving consistency, social engagement), not surveys.

  • High-end donors require highly personalized, strategic touchpoints throughout their annual cycle.

  • Maintaining clean data today prevents massive organizational pain later.
