Longing for every new episode!
As a long- time fundraiser, Clay and Lynne are a breathe of fresh air and bit of grounding. I am always screaming “EXACTLY” or “YESSSS” as I listen in my car. Fundraisers get lots of car time, so having their show to laugh and learn from makes the miles go by. If you’re a veteran fundraiser you will love them. If you’re new to fundraising you will love them. My only complaint is that the episodes are too short!

Here for the FUN and the fundraising
Lynne and Clay are a great combo of expertise and wit! I leave every episode learning a little, or a lot, and getting a few moments that feel like both escape and connection!

The Donor Relations GOAT never disappoints
Lynne is the leading Donor Relations Specialist in the field. Combining with Clay adds a whole new dimension. This podcast should be played every week at team meetings. Always helpful and I always learn something or get insights for the team

Dynamic Duo
This dynamic duo will keep you rolling and informed. I feel seen and heard when listening to their podcast. A must on the playlist for Donor Relations and other fundraising professionals.
Love it!
Great and informative! Very timely discussion about salutations and addressing our donors appropriately. Lot's of food for thought. Great topic, thanks Lynne and Clay!

FINALLY
Finally there is a podcast telling the real stories about fundraising. Clay and Lynne make it so fun and engaging. I love their approach and sort of irreverent way of taking our profession and making it real. I find myself nearly spitting out my drink at some of the comments. Now that is a podcast I can get behind!

Punchline
Discovered FIF a few weeks ago. Have listened to all of them. Some of them twice. I've learned some things, can related to many of the topics, and laughed out loud on all of them. Learning some new words, too. Ha!
Thanks for providing these humorous tutorials.
A must-listen for everyone in fundraising
Timely and relevant discussions mixed with humor and wit - what could be better?! Fundraising IS funny - this is a must-listen for everyone in the industry.
Incredible podcast
This podcast is not only funny, it's informative and includes great fundraising resources.
☀️🌈🦄
In our sweet lovely nonprofit world, it can often be sunshine, rainbows, and unicorns. (Big fan of all 3, btw) But sometimes that means well-meaning folks in this sector sweep under the rug some less than favorable qualities from our industry.
Lynne and Clay call out what it is that needs to change and accomplish it with humor and levity.
Because frankly, I don't want to leave our world of sunshine, rainbows, and unicorns. I just know it can be better.
Thank you for making it better, Lynne and Clay.
Glad you're back!!
So glad to see this podcast back for Season 2! If the first episode is any indication for what's in store, this season is going to be the best yet! Thank you for being the comic relief our industry needs.
Funny AND Smart!
Lynn and Clay are the perfect combination of hilarious, thoughtful, smart, and experienced. With every new episode, I learn something incredibly valuable that I can apply immediately. Today's lesson was to own my expertise and don't be afraid to stand up for what I know. Thank you!
Keep on Keeping ON and Scnack!
Thank you for your honesty and funny stories about fundraising. Sometimes this field is very hard and trying. We ALL are so passionate about our missions and 'NO's' sometimes sting. Your knowledge and humor help pick up your fellow Professional Beggers... and leave a smile on our face. Schack ON!

What I have been waiting for
Fundraising is Funny is a delight and Lynne and Clay are great hosts. For over 30 years I have made a career in fundraising and over the years I have found myself in so many moments and situations that are hilarious. This podcast is fun, silly and honest all while teaching us how to be better.

A show for us nonprofit peeps to laugh, exhale nod our heads
This podcast feels like that conversation you have after-hours alongside a glass of wine and good colleagues/friends in the industry. It’s raw. It’s real. And it really is funny. Lynne and Clay bring levity, humanity and pose the tough questions out loud that we’re all thinking. Thanks for reminding us to laugh, question the bizarre, and learn lessons from whiplash-inducing moments that happen on the daily in nonprofit. Can’t wait for more!

Fundraising Thought Leaders
Charge your AirPods friends! 🎧
You have been wanting/needing to hear the voices of these two since before podcasts were a thing.
My mom always said that mistakes are only wasted if we keep them to ourselves. Lynne and Clay walk us through some real life learning opportunities based on some eyebrow raising experiences in the fundraising world.
Now, if only they would push out 100 episodes at once so I can binge this Netflix style. 😆
