Funders on Fundraising is a podcast about power, trust, and authenticity—and how money moves in the nonprofit sector.

Hosted by Kelly James, a former funder, and Geoffrey MacDougall, a career fundraiser, the show opens up honest conversations between people who shape where resources flow and those who work to secure them.

Each episode demystifies the craft of fundraising—how relationships form, how decisions are made, and how power and persuasion operate when money is on the table. Guests talk candidly about what excites them, what turns them off, and how trust actually gets built in real time.

It’s not about philanthropy’s performance. It’s about the people, the structure, and the tactics that make meaningful commitments possible.

We can't fix the world alone. But we all know that collaborating is hard. And systems? Well, they seem to be allergic to change. So how do we do it without losing our damn minds?

On System Catalysts, you will learn from activists, philanthropists, and change makers who put their egos aside to improve the systems that run the world. This season, we’ll be looking into healthcare, marriage equality, migration, climate and more. Join Jeff Walker and English Sall as they go behind-the-scenes of systems change, cracking the code on making the world a better place.

System Catalysts is produced by Hueman Group Media.
