Welcome to the FIRST episode of Fundraising Fri-Yay with me, Rhea Wong! 🎉


Kicking things off with a solo episode that gets real about the uncertainty we’re all feeling right now in the nonprofit world—tariff shifts, funding freezes, economic turbulence... it’s a lot.


But here’s the deal: panic won’t pay the bills. So instead of reacting, let’s respond—with strategy. 💪


✨ You’ll learn:
🔹 How to double revenue with a 10% lift in donor retention
🔹 Why monthly giving + donor-advised funds are your secret weapons
🔹 How to communicate for confidence, not crisis
🔹 Ways to build internal “shock absorbers” so you're ready for anything


Whether you're leading a small shop or a big team, this episode is packed with actionable steps to help you not just survive—but THRIVE—in economic uncertainty.


Let’s make every Friday a little smarter, a little bolder, and a lot more impactful.
