First off, most people are scared of asking for money. Successful fundraisers know, good fundraising doesn’t involve guilt about begging for money. It’s all about mindset. A fundraiser is empowering a potential donor to contribute resources to help drive the change they want to see in the world.

Think about asking for money as giving donors an opportunity to create change and feel better about themselves in the process. It’s a win-win proposition.
