In this episode of The Generosity Experience, we explore how small, intentional actions can lead to transformational fundraising results. Abby Jarvis, Neon One’s Head of Research, reveals the long-term value of donor loyalty, Mallory Erickson shares how overcoming fear-based resistance starts with “pressing the red button,” and Tim Sarrantonio challenges fundraisers to track with purpose, not just process. You’ll also hear: Abby Jarvis unpack new data showing that donors who give for five consecutive years contribute 1,520% more than one-time donors—and the three strategies any nonprofit can use to build that kind of loyalty. Mallory Erickson, fundraising strategist and host of What the Fundraising, explain why fundraisers often avoid the simplest actions, how practice builds confidence, and the origin of her new AI-powered training tool, Practivated. Tim’s Motivations segment on why your database is more than a product—it’s the electronic representation of your work—and how to ensure it truly reflects your mission and community. Big Ideas and Takeaways Retention Compounds ResultsAbby’s research proves that keeping donors connected year after year produces exponential growth. The key? Relationship-first strategies that make donors feel seen, not just solicited. Press the Red ButtonMallory reminds us that sometimes the biggest hurdle is simply taking action. Her coaching mantra—just press the red button—is about replacing fear with momentum.
