    How Little Things Shape Your Culture | Brian Mountjoy
    Aug 20 2026
    Great culture isn’t built through one big initiative. It’s shaped in the small, everyday moments that show people they are seen, valued, and cared for. In this episode of the Cause+Effect Podcast, Trent Dunham is joined by Brian Mountjoy, Chief Culture Officer at Dunham+Co, for a conversation about the experiences and choices that shape the culture around us. Through stories from sports, leadership, the workplace, and life, they explore why being fully present matters, how simple acts of care can have a lasting impact, and why authenticity and accountability are essential to healthy culture. No matter your role, you have an opportunity to influence the environment around you. Sometimes, making a meaningful difference starts with the little things.

  • Why Donors Stop Giving and How to Win Them Back | Joshua Crowther

    Why Donors Stop Giving and How to Win Them Back | Joshua Crowther
    Jun 11 2026
    In this episode of the Cause+Effect Podcast, Trent Dunham, President+CEO of Dunham+Co, sits down with Josh Crowther, VP of Dunham+Co, to unpack the real reasons donors lapse. Some reasons are outside an organization’s control, like personal financial pressure, economic uncertainty, or shifting cultural attitudes toward generosity. But many causes are self-inflicted — including silence, poor communication, overused urgency, and fundraising tactics that prioritize immediate ROI over long-term relationship. Trent and Josh discuss how organizations can identify lapsed donors, avoid common retention mistakes, and build stronger communication strategies that re-engage supporters. They also explore why lapsed donors often still see themselves as connected to your mission — and why that should change the way nonprofits communicate with them. For nonprofit leaders, fundraisers, and ministry teams, this conversation offers practical insight into donor retention, reactivation, and building lasting relationships with the people who make your mission possible. CHAPTERS 00:00 – Introduction 01:12 – Why donors stop giving 02:00 – Economic uncertainty and donor confidence 04:38 – The decline in charitable giving 07:05 – Why silence causes donors to lapse 10:36 – The problem with constant urgency 13:18 – Treating donors like wallets 15:28 – How to re-engage lapsed donors
