Podcast: How a Small Nonprofit Raised 75% of an $8.5 Million Capital Campaign in 11 Months

By Amy Eisenstein and Andrea Kihlstedt

Season 6, Episode 2

What can a nonprofit with just 650 active donors—and a median gift of only $100—teach us about raising millions through a capital campaign?

In this episode, Andrea Kihlstedt speaks with Sister Marilyn Lacey, founder and executive director of Mercy Beyond Borders, about how her small international nonprofit raised more than 75% of its $8.5 million campaign goal in less than 11 months.

This episode offers valuable capital campaign guidance for small nonprofits, international organizations, founders, executive directors, development professionals, and anyone wondering whether their donor base is large or wealthy enough to support a major fundraising initiative.
