Grant Writing & Funding

Do you ever feel like your nonprofit to-do list never ends? As a nonprofit leader, development director, or grant writer, you’re likely juggling a lot—and some of those tasks have been sitting on your list for months… or even years.

But here’s the real question:

Do you actually need to do all of them?

In this episode, Patrick Kirby, founder of Do Good Better Consulting, challenges the idea that doing more leads to better results. Instead, he shares his simple yet powerful 5-day priority recipe to help you focus on what truly moves the needle in your fundraising efforts. We dive into how to identify which tasks matter most, how to let go of unnecessary work, and how prioritization—not busyness—is the key to building sustainable fundraising success.

If you’re ready to stop spinning your wheels and start making real progress, this episode will give you a practical framework to take back control of your time and energy.

Patrick Kirby is the founder of Do Good Better Consulting, where he helps nonprofits raise more money by simplifying their fundraising strategies. With years of experience in nonprofit development and communications, Patrick is known for his practical, no-fluff approach to helping organizations prioritize what actually works.

He is a speaker, trainer, and host of the “Do Good Better Podcast,” where he shares actionable insights to help nonprofits grow their impact without burning out. Patrick is passionate about helping nonprofit professionals do less—but better.
