    I loved your message. I fundraiser for a small disc golf tournament where the money goes to a local Parkinson’s support group. It has always been easy for me to ask, and always hard to find the right people to ask.

    00:00:00 Kara Logan discusses how feelings about wealth and money can affect how people approach fundraising. She advises people to grow up poor, rich, or mad/envious and to remember that money is just a fact of life. She also suggests that people approach fundraising in the same way they would approach asking for money for important causes, without any hesitation or embarrassment.
    00:05:00 Kara Logan discusses how to be a better fundraiser by reframing the ask as an opportunity, getting prepared to build relationships, and asking questions that reflect what the donor cares about. Logan emphasizes the importance of listening more than talking, and advises not getting too deep into the weeds in order to maintain a connection with the donor.
    00:10:00 The speaker discusses how to be a better fundraiser, and offers advice on how to ask for money from donors. She emphasizes the importance of being genuine and authentic, and advises not to try to be someone you're not. She also advises against using tricks or gimmicks to ask for money, and recommends waiting until the donor's ten-count before speaking again.
    00:15:00 The speaker discusses the importance of being committed to the art of funding work, and how it is essential to have a true belief in the purpose and privilege of one's work. She reminds the audience that this opportunity exists, and urges them to be committed to it as well.
    (This is my second time trying to raise funds. I live in Pakistan, and seeing kids around 8 and 9 working tough jobs really breaks my heart. With the first try, one kid is now going to school, and within 4 months, he has learned so much. More to go soon! Any contribution is welcome. 🌸)

    This was horrific. 6:53 was an ambush. I’m not rich, I’m actually struggling, but as I live in a third world country in a poverty stricken area and am obviously foreign, most of the people I run into day to day consider me rich. If someone started firing all those questions at me I’d run a mile. If anyone asks where I live I always lie. I get particularly nervous about my daughter’s school. I don’t want her kidnapped. Making those assumptions is atrocious. You don’t know they’re not up to their eyeballs in debt and are only still living there because the house won’t sell and they’ve taken in a lodger too make ends meet. And then she says she gets payed to teach nerds to talk to people “like they’re people”. There’s more than one way to go about alienating and dehumanizing someone. I literally skip meals on a regular when I’ve no food in and I haven’t got the energy to face the beggars outside and run the gauntlet to the corner shop. And when I do give, I don’t feel good about it; I feel like I’ve been mugged, and I’ve given out invites for future muggings.

      @@bibianacapuskova3033 Happy to help! While I came to nonprofits/fundraising in a roundabout way (my undergraduate degree is in Art History) if I could do it all again, I would look for a Development Associate job (basically an office assitant for the fundraising office) and see how I liked that work. If you can't find a job in the fundraising office, I'd advise researching companies/nonprofits where you would like to work and getting an entry level job. For example, I started my nonprofit journey doing telefundraising for a ballet company, got hired full time in their box office, and then focused on helping the box office and development departments better understand each other.
      Hope this helps!
