Let’s be real—“sales funnel” sounds like a corporate buzzword nonprofits should avoid. But here’s the truth: you already have a funnel. It’s just invisible—and probably unintentional.


Every post, email, and donation form is part of a journey. In this episode, Tom Kelly breaks down how to build a simple, ethical, high-converting donor journey using his 4-part Donor Flow Framework: Awareness, Engagement, Action, Advocacy.


You’ll learn how to map your funnel, use AI tools like ChatGPT to create content fast, and automate follow-ups with platforms like ConvertKit or DonorBooks.


Plus, hear a real-life case study of a small nonprofit that raised $12K from brand-new donors—without ads. Whether you're just getting started or want to improve what’s already in place, this episode gives you practical steps and prompts to turn casual followers into committed supporters.
