Jiri Krupa (& Jesse Marks) on using fundraising to win campaigns

This is a new kind of episode! I am trialling something where I am asking other people to be the interview host, rather than me. This has many benefits, one of them being you get a break from hearing my voice. But you also get to hear from a broader range of talented advocates who know much more about a certain area than I do, giving a much richer conversation. 

The first guest-hosted episode is run by Jesse Marks, Program Officer at The Navigation Fund, who interviews Jiri Krupa, who runs the Growth & Impact Group.

This episode focuses on how campaigning organisations can better engage their supporters, members and activists, to win more campaigns. Jesse & Jiri both discuss the power you can build via better supporter engagement, as well as the strong financial engine of regular monthly donors to support your work long-term.
