Haley Bash, the director of the Donor Organizer Hub, suggests many of us (organizers and volunteers) can become better fundraisers by adopting a few simple steps.
I was a professional fundraiser for nonprofits. Many people first think of fundraising events, but they are SO much work without a guarantee of success. In fact, they may be better described as 'friendraisers' because they may attract additional people to your cause, but IF YOUR GOAL IS TO RAISE FUNDS, it is better to be upfront about it. Haley's suggestions for increasing donative dollars are the best approach.
This is a great Substack and even tho it has been mentioned on both Robert Hubble and Simon Rosenberg, I hope it grows quicker.... FANTASTIC INFO, keep up the good work!
B Johnson, we very much appreciate the vote of confidence. Agreed--we would like to increase our readership. We could use ambassadors to help spread the word. Please leave comments with a link to the Grassroots Connector if you see the opportunity (related articles on substack, mainstream media, social media, and such). Thank you, thank you!
Hi Martha I will share links in comments. David Pepper is another grassroots believer. I suggest you reach out to Simon or Jess Craven ( I will suggest it on his comments)
Sorry let me finish.... see if Simon or Jess will interview you since they support grassroots so much and Simon has a bunch new members this month that need to get plugged in somewhere. To do more and worry less
I like the idea of Simon directing readers to this article. He often urges readers to give money. We can donate and encourage others by following Haley's suggestions.
