One thing that donors tell us frequently is that they are tired of the constant asking, asking, asking from the nonprofits they support. We hear time and again that donors feel like all nonprofits do is ask them for money. Some never report back to donors on prior gifts that were given, and even for those that do, often the reporting happens long after the gift was given. Not to mention that the typical impact reporting tends to be boring and not engaging for donors.
These are the exact reasons why my good friends Jeff and Bill Kliewer launched ViewSpark. What’s unique about this is that Jeff and Bill are career fundraisers, not tech geeks. They’ve hired great tech geeks, so the platform is incredibly well built. But because Jeff and Bill are fundraisers, this platform was built based on 50+ years of fundraising and nonprofit marketing experience, making it so much more powerful for nonprofits.
ViewSpark is the first ever real time donor engagement platform that empowers nonprofit organizations to connect directly with their donors from the field, in real time, to share stories, photos, videos, and important messages. This platform is helping nonprofits better engage their supporters, share stories and messages of success, AND raise more money!
I sat down and talked with Jeff Kliewer, ViewSpark’s CEO, and Kat Landa, ViewSpark’s Vice President of Business Development a few weeks ago to interview them about the platform. You can check out that podcast episode here.
They’ve also extended a 50% discount on their set-up fees for new clients if you mention that you heard about them on The Rainmaker Fundraising Podcast.
If you’re looking for a way to enhance your ability to engage donors, share important stories, and maintain direct, 1-to-1 contact with your donors, you’ve got to check out ViewSpark.

Just listened to the ViewSpark Podcast. Very excited !! Have just begun a journey into Development in the Arts arena after performing professionally for 30yrs. Looking forward to giving back and engaging with donors. Technology is a big learning curve. This sounds possible, creative and simple enough to get started right away!
Hi Jane! Glad you enjoyed the podcast. The team at ViewSpark is wonderful, and the product is great. We use it for several clients. Hope you’re doing well in your new journey into development! If you’re in the Arts space, you should also listen to my podcast interview with Aubrey Bergauer on The Long Haul Model. She comes out of California Symphony Orchestra, and she has some AMAZING insights and learnings from her time there.
