People in Fundraising, season 3, ep. 16: PhilanthropyOps founder Jenny Kleintop
To help celebrate her birthday today (!), I am so excited to share Jenny Kleintop's energetic "People in Fundraising" conversation. In addition, Jenny is my podcast's first guest to represent Delaware. We got connected on LinkedIn when I started seeing Jenny's frequent posts and immediately realizing how freely and kindly Jenny shared her expertise and excitement for fundraising, specifically philanthropy operations.
In our conversation, Jenny discusses:
* How she developed and launched her company, PhilanthropyOps, in 2023. Happy one-year anniversary! Link to Jenny's company here: https://www.philanthropyops.com/about
* Burnout - how she has experienced it, how she addresses it earlier now, and how she encourages others to acknowledge this stressor and pivot as needed
* How being a prolific content-generator and content-sharer on LinkedIn has enriched Jenny's career, and her life in general
* Her November 2023 post that encouraged her network to "Go find your remarkable!" I loved Jenny's answers to my questions, "What is your remarkable? And what have you learned about getting to this point when you know what your remarkable is?"
* Her effort to build an awesome partnership between the philanthropy operations and frontline fundraising teams, especially in small- and medium-sized fundraising shops
* Fractional fundraising - what it is, how it works for Jenny, and how many clients she works with at a time
* Being married to a frontline fundraiser, Jenny joked, "The shop talk never stops!"
* Jenny's post about a backpack and visiting Panera after getting laid off - how these elements got her through a difficult phase in her career: https://www.linkedin.com/posts/jkleintop_layoffs-community-movingforward-activity-7153139692647890945-9WsP/
Thank you Jenny for a phenomenal interview! What a treat, and I am sure our audience will totally enjoy your insights as well.
