Episode 1: Welcome to the State of Good Report
If you lead fundraising at a nonprofit, or you're the executive director, or you sit on the board, you know the pressure never goes away. Great year? The clock resets in January. Land a major gift? You're already wondering what happens if that donor can't give next year.
This episode introduces the State of Good Report podcast and why it exists: to help nonprofit leaders fund their mission in a landscape that won't sit still — shifting donor behavior, disrupted government funding, changing foundation priorities, and new data every month.
Every week, host Mike Rusch and the team at Pure Charity help you work through three questions at the heart of sustainable nonprofit growth:
- How do I fund this work? Tracking giving data, research reports, and economic indicators so you don't have to.
- How do I partner with donors? The psychology behind why people give and how to deepen those relationships.
- How do I care for the donors I already have? Because the average nonprofit loses over half its donors every year, and it's fixable.
Each episode is under 10 minutes. No fluff, no jargon, just actionable intelligence you can use immediately.
