Episode 14 – What Major Donors Actually Care About (And Why You’re Probably Missing It)

Episode 14 – What Major Donors Actually Care About (And Why You’re Probably Missing It)

Are you unintentionally missing the mark with your major donor pitches?

In this solo episode, Orlando shares powerful, behind-the-scenes insights into what major donors and funders are actually looking for when deciding whether or not to support your nonprofit or ministry. Drawing from years of experience coaching nonprofit leaders and consulting directly with funders, Orlando outlines the five critical factors that high-capacity donors consistently care about—and the top three mistakes that cause good ministries to get passed over.

You'll learn how to:

✅ Identify and fix the “disconnect” between your mission and your major donors ✅ Communicate clarity of vision and leadership with confidence ✅ Move from stats to story—and make your impact feel personal and human ✅ Prepare for your next big ask with a simple but powerful checklist ✅ Tailor your invitations so they feel like genuine opportunities—not obligations

If you're preparing for a donor meeting, planning a capital campaign, or simply want to elevate your approach to major gifts, this episode is for you.
