Welcome to the SECOND episode of the Nonprofit Connect podcast, brought to you by Rogue Creatives, designed to connect with and learn from all sorts of people from within the nonprofit hemisphere. I’m your host, Matt Barnes, and you’re in for a brilliant episode! This week, we spoke with the impressive Chris Baiocchi, Founder and CEO of Resolute Philanthropy, to discuss why he loves fundraising, why it requires the utmost authenticity, and how we can overcome the scarcity mindset in the industry.

This week, we sat down with the impressive Chris Baiocci, Founder and CEO of Resolute Philanthropy, an organization bringing more than 20 years of nonprofit experience to bear, supported by a passion for leadership development and creativity. But before starting his own nonprofit, he was the Chief Development Officer at Project Access and spent nearly eight years with Habitat for Humanity of Orange County in various roles, his last one being Senior Vice President!

And to top it off, with a Master’s Degree in Organizational Leadership from Brandman University, I think it’s safe to say the guy knows what he’s talking about when it comes to nonprofits.

So sit back, relax, and listen to us cover such topics as:

Chris’ journey from journalism to nonprofits
How to fundraise with authenticity and vigor
The reason behind the scarcity mindset among nonprofits
Why sob stories are only short-term solutions to donations
