Beyond the Bake Sale

On this episode, I sat down with Amanda Weingarten

Amanda is the Chief Development Officer of the International Crisis Group. The International Crisis Group is an independent organisation working to prevent wars and shape policies that will build a more peaceful world.

She oversees Crisis Group’s fundraising efforts in the philanthropy, foundations and government sectors, and oversees the Communications and Outreach team. Within her first year as Chief Development Officer she increased Crisis Group’s revenue by 10%, established a foundation relations team and a development operations team, and launched a number of new fundraising programs.

In our conversation we discussed

• How to evaluate your team’s performance without metrics
• How to retain your talent at your organization
• How to match passions to the position

And so much more
