    Like a Longtime Friend and Mentor
    I have listened to this podcast for years and have learned so much. There seems to be an answer or a thoughtful discussion on every topic I need help with. It is a wonderful resource for me. The friendly tone always makes me feel like I’m sitting down for a cup of coffee and a conversation with trusted mentor and old friend when I listen to the podcast.

    Great podcast!
    I listen to this podcast on my commute to work in the morning and am constantly engaged! This morning’s show was particularly interesting as it covered fraud in nonprofit accounting. I will definitely keep listening because it’s hard to find good nonprofit podcasts lately! This one is great!
  • Wiesbrooks
    Wow! This is a gold mine
    I’ve run a NFP for six years. This podcast is a game changer for both new and veteran NFP teams. Wish more people were aware! I’ll be sending people here. Already tasked a board member with comparing products mentioned here
  • Rotary Steve
    Branding is Bull
    It was an excellent podcast that discussed how to engage donors. Two significant takeaways were that you need to personally engage the major donors, as they will fund 90%+/- of your money you raise, and that you must make them feel good about your organization and their giving to the organization, that you value them personally, and that their donation really does make a difference. Personalize it as much as possible.

    Just what I needed
    I have been binge listening to Successful Nonprofits podcasts and have pages of notes of information and tips that will be so helpful to my organization. I've been in the nonprofit world for 27 years and have now gained very valuable insights. Thanks Dolf!
  • entrepreneur listener
    interesting guests & helpful insights
    i really enjoy the variety of guests on successful nonprofits podcast. also, the questions the host asks are interesting and seem to get really insightful answers out of the guests.
  • Annie - PD Gladiators
    Fantastic
    I love this podcast! As a fairly new Associate Director and sole staff person at a small nonprofit in Atlanta - PD Gladiators - it can be overwhelming to think about my tasks and responsibilities. This podcast is fun, smart, insightful and easy to digest (which I desperately need).

  • Lady Jonathan
    Informative, Interesting & Well Produced
    This podcast is great. It's super informative, probably due to the thoughtful and engaging questions the host asks his guests. Production level is good too-- I definitely recommend it if you are in the nonprofit world!
  • jenjennijennifer
    Great content, bad sound quality
    I've listened to about 7 episodes of Successful Nonprofits. The content is really insightful, but the show is almost unlistenable because of the terrible sound quality. Episode 36 especially was a disappointment. Whole words dropped out. It sounds like it's is recorded using a landline, and I hope I'm not right about that. I suggest that Mr. Goldenburg get some better, but inexpensive equipment (start with a snowball mic and Skype) and figure this sound issue out! Then I'll listen again.
  • AbraAnnes
    Always Great information
    Love this podcast. Dolph is a wonderful interviewer who asks the questions that we are all wondering while we listen. Great guests who share wonderful information. I always get a few takeaways that make me a better fundraiser.
  • Smartguy88
    Guest on the show, ep 34
    Our organization's CEO, Dave Shaffer, was a guest on episode 34. Dolph's show did a great job showcasing our non-profit's model and highlighting some of the complicated details that make our business unique. Thanks for the hard work Dolph!
  • Gary Hines
    Successful Nonprofit featuring Gary Hines
    What a great interview with visionary leader Dolph Goldenburg. I thoroughly enjoyed working with Dolph and the Goldenburg Group. The transition from the for-profit to the non-profit world can be beneficial and rewarding for many. All it takes it a good plan and a good strategic path. Dolph, I wish you much success on your podcast journey and let's do it again!! Best, Gary Hines

    Great start & waiting for more episodes
    This podcast is off to a great start. The interviews are engaging and the information discussed is enlighting and beneficial. The great thing is that the podcasts include information useful for staff members and board members. I was surprised to see that in the very first episode that the interivew was with someone with a great deal of for-profit experience. I'm excited about and for the future of this podcast.
