S2 E8 - Retain First: The Real Path to New Donors with Erik Kessler
Jonah Halper sits down with Erik Kessler, Executive Director of The Moriah School in NJ, to unpack a decade-long experiment many schools quietly hint at but rarely discuss openly: what really happens when you don’t have a professional development director. They talk about the “event-only” model, the strengths and limits of relying on talented lay solicitors, and the biggest invisible loss that shows up over time: stewardship, consistency, and strategy. Erik shares why Moriah eventually brought back a development director and how it reshaped the donor experience through simple but powerful touchpoints, from personalized notes to meaningful grandparent programming. Together they explore the shift from siloed event giving to an annual campaign mindset, why retention drives new donors, and how connecting donors to what they personally care about turns fundraising into genuine partnership instead of a once-a-year transaction.

S2 E7 - Renderings, Reality, and ROI: How to Avoid Donor Whiplash in Building Campaigns with Yossi Fischler
Capital campaigns do not fail because the mission is weak. They fail when the project is under-scoped, over-designed, or sold to donors before the team has real clarity on what they are building, what it will cost, and how it will actually function. In this episode, Jonah Halper sits down with owner’s rep and capital project strategist Yossi Fischler to unpack the “design and development” side of fundraising and why it directly determines whether your campaign goal is credible. They cover the difference between “purchase price plus furnishings” and the organization’s full dream, why programmatic design (operations-driven planning) has to happen early, and how donor confidence is built through disciplined pre-work that reduces change orders, surprises, and morale-killing redesigns. You will also hear practical insights on donor signage and campus-wide consistency, the risks of premature renderings (including the “Taj Mahal” problem), how pre-campaign donor interviews function as a true dry run, why the lead gift sets the ceiling for the rest of the campaign, and what to do with legacy naming opportunities when an old building is being demolished.
