154: Building Fundraising Confidence
In today's episode, "Building Fundraising Confidence," I’m diving into the world of fundraising and exploring how it can help schools achieve their goals to make a positive impact on their communities. Fundraising is not just about asking people for money, but rather offering an opportunity to contribute to something meaningful and make a difference. I'll be discussing four mindsets that might be holding you back from feeling confident in your fundraising efforts and how to shift them.
Key Lessons from the episode
- Building fundraising confidence is important for school leaders.
- Fundraising is not simply asking people for money; it's offering them an opportunity to make a difference.
- Finding your personal connection to the project makes fundraising easier.
- Understanding the impact of philanthropic donations is key to building fundraising confidence.
- Fundraising success is achievable by embracing a growth mindset and continuous learning.
"Nobody is a natural fundraiser. It's something we learn and develop through practice and finding our personal connection to the project." Juliet Corbett
