In an era of overloaded information, building genuine donor alignment is essential. Join with us and explore how curiosity, care, and flexibility help fundraisers uncover what truly motivates the donors. Let’s examine how AI can be a tool of support but never replaces the human connection at the heart of transformational philanthropic engagement. 
Like most fundraisers, Tyler Mallory stumbled into the industry unexpectedly from a background of sales and business development. He is now a major gifts officer at the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign. He is also experienced in working as an interim chief advancement officer and specializes in creating alignment between alumni, programs, and institutional needs. 
In this episode, you will be able to:
- Learn how genuine curiosity and flexibility help building lasting donor relationships.
- Discover how to move past fear, pressure, and performance metrics that can block authentic connection.
- Gain knowledge on how AI can support, but never replace the human touch in fundraising.
- Learn how mistakes can be powerful teachers in shaping better fundraisers and leaders.
