EP 89: Building Campaigns That Last Beyond the Goal with Chad Paris
About this episode
In this episode of The Responsive Lab, Carly and Scott sit down with Chad Paris, Principal and CEO of Parisleaf, a branding agency that helps nonprofits fund progress by branding major fundraising campaigns. Chad has spent nearly two decades advising mission-driven organizations through comprehensive campaigns, and he brings a rare combination of strategic depth and candor about where the philanthropic sector is headed.
You'll hear about:
• What separates wildly successful campaigns from ones that simply meet their goal, including the four-part framework Chad uses
• Why donor fatigue is more often caused by a lack of meaning than by being asked too often, and what that distinction means for how you steward your donors
• How campaign branding shapes the way donors feel about your organization for decades
• The risk of over-relying on major donors
• Why volunteerism is one of the most overlooked indicators of future giving
• What nonprofit CEOs and chief development officers are wrestling with right now
