About The Intentional Fundraiser Podcast
Welcome to The Intentional Fundraiser Podcast. I'm your host, Tammy Zonker, and I'm thrilled you're here. I've spent nearly three decades specializing in major gifts. I’ve seen how major gifts often form the backbone of an organization’s financial stability, and yet, I know many of us find this area particularly challenging. Time and again, I’ve been approached by fundraisers and nonprofit leaders eager to establish or supercharge their major gift programs. It’s become crystal clear that there’s a growing hunger for training and expertise in this area. I’ve had the incredible privilege of working with nonprofits from all around the world helping organizations collectively raise nearly one billion dollars. During this time, I’ve developed strategies and tools that have consistently helped organizations transition their mid-level donors into major donors through meaningful engagement. It’s a process that, when done consistently, can truly catapult an organization’s major gift fundraising to the next level. Whether you’re a seasoned major gift officer looking to refine your approach, a development director aiming to build a powerhouse program, an executive director looking to scale your organization’s capacity for transformational giving, or a board member seeking to understand the transformative potential of major gifts, The Intentional Fundraiser podcast is your source for growth and excellence in major gift fundraising. So, buckle up! We're about to embark on a journey to take your major gift program to the next level – and beyond. Let's get intentional about major gift fundraising! Keep transforming, Tammy Zonker Major Gift Expert & Keynote Speaker Fundraising Transformed #ScaleRaiseDo

Bringing Relationships Back from the Brink
Published 6 Oct 2026 · Transcript excerpt
[…] Their inboxes are full. Their advisors are asking them to think differently about timing. Their lives are busy. So relationships stall. In this environment, it's almost inevitable. In my experience, most stalled relationships come down to one of four reasons. The first is donor fatigue. Your donor isn't upset with you. They're tired. They've been asked and asked and asked again this year by a lot of good causes. When they go quiet, sometimes it's self-protection. The second is overwhelm. Life happens. A diagnosis. A divorce. A business sale. Aging parents. A new grandchild. The relationship isn't broken. […]
