Fundraising is Funny
Every week you can join Lynne Wester and T. Clay Buck to share laughs (and cringe-worthy case studies) as we unpack the most ridiculous (and positively shocking) situations that happen within our sector. Because sometimes we just have to laugh at ourselves in order to learn.
Because here’s the thing. We believe in the power of generosity to change the world. And something tells us you do too. At the root of each of these stories is a serious ethical question, a system or structure or person that allowed it to happen, or an outdated practice just ready for disruption.
Because c’mon… fundraising is funny.

About the Hosts
Lynne Wester
Principal and Founder, Donor Relations Group
The queen of donor relations has entered the chat. Lynne Wester strongly believes that donor relations is the key to unlocking fundraising success and that organizations must be as dedicated to the donor experience as they are to the ask itself. She and her teammates at the the Donor Relations Group lead with gratitude and partner with nonprofits on a variety of initiatives from assessment through implementation…(believe us when we say you need to check out their website for some epic training and resources). Sometimes referred to as the Olivia Pope of fundraising, she brings her southern accent and crucial honesty to advance equity and impact in the sector.
T. Clay Buck
Founder and Consultant, TCB Fundraising
For more than 30 years, Clay’s established himself as the great individual giving oracle (our words, not his) bringing modern thinking and insight to data and development systems, copywriting and content development, and strategic planning. (And he’ll be more than happy to share with you how all of those seemingly different functions are actually parts of the same dynamic system that work together.) This Certified Fundraising Exec (CFRE) Master Trainer and founder of TCB Fundraising makes his home in Las Vegas alongside his husband where they are owned by three retrievers who have mastered the art of the ask – especially at dinner time.
