BEST OF EPISODE: Truth Bombs For The Nonprofit World With GiveMN & RaiseMN's Courtney Backen | The Official Do Good Better Podcast #321

  • Summary

  • Today's Five-Star Guest is Courtney Backen, Director of Community and Capacity Development for GiveMN and RaiseMN.

    Courtney leads the charge on resource and tool building for GiveMN and RaiseMN.

    With a background in fundraising for several Minnesota-based organizations like Friends of the Hennepin County Library, Environment Minnesota, and Minnesota Public Radio, Courtney helps provide fundraising tools and resources that take nonprofits and schools to the next level.

    Courtney graduated from Concordia College-Moorhead with an English Literature degree (her favorite authors are Haruki Murakami and Louise Erdrich) and received her master’s in Nonprofit Management from Hamline University.

    When she’s not fundraising, you can find Courtney knitting, shopping at Trader Joe’s or taste-testing the newest Haribo gummy flavor.

    RaiseMN is the answer to years of research, listening, and planning as the GiveMN board and staff sought to fill the critical gap identified by Minnesota nonprofits: a lack of confidence that organizational fundraising strategy and infrastructure will keep up with the demands of their missions, especially among small- to medium-sized nonprofits.
