WE HAVE FUNDRAISING ALL WRONG.
AND IT’S COSTING US.
BIG TIME.
WE HAVE FUNDRAISING ALL WRONG. AND IT’S COSTING US. BIG TIME.
.
Fundraising has long been referred to as a necessary evil. We think about it as the thing that we have to do, but really don’t want to do, with the sole purpose being of funding the work of our nonprofit.
At this point, you might be thinking that I have totally lost my mind because OF COURSE, Mallory, fundraising is about raising money for our nonprofit’s work 👀
But what if it’s about more than that?
.
What if in addition to the money moving to power your organization – the act of donating ITSELF was creating movements, community, networks, and identities?
What if every time someone donated to your animal shelter they became more committed to supporting rescue dogs?
What if they finally became a cat person?
What if they became a more empathetic and thoughtful person?
Well, guess what, they do. The donor changes. This means fundraising isn’t just meant to power the work, it IS the work.
The donor becomes the person who they want to be.
And who YOU need in your community.
THE PROBLEM IS NOT FUNDRAISING.
THE PROBLEM IS WHAT WE BELIEVE ABOUT FUNDRAISING.
The problem is that we believe fundraising is always cringy, annoying, pesky, and rude.
But it’s not.
You just feel that way because you have unaddressed beliefs about money, fundraising, value, etc. that are holding you back.
Those beliefs, the ones you might be aware of or you might not even know about yet, are robbing donors of opportunity and holding your organization back from what you are truly capable of.
THIS IS NOT YOUR FAULT
You only feel this way because you did the same thing we all do (I did it too)...
You believed what you were told one time from that cranky uncle, or because you think your newsletter feels the same as that fake-urgency political fundraising email, or that an invitation to an event is the same as being chased down by a relentless canvasser.
💡 But if you’re not fundraising in a way that is trying to make donors feel shame, guilt, or panic – then why should you feel like you are?
💡And, more importantly, what would it feel like to fundraise WITHOUT all the cringy feelings?
Can you imagine how much that would impact your fundraising 💰💰💰
.
If you feel uncomfortable, awkward, insecure, filled with self-doubt, and constantly trapped in a scarcity mindset, then you are going to show up that way…
- You might not send a super cringy email, but you’ll send a super bland email that doesn’t inspire your audience.
- You might not fundraise directly from your friends and family, but you’ll never talk about your work around them.
- You might not chase someone down the street to come to an event, but you’ll hardly invite them out of fear of rejection (‘maybe if you have a moment to pop by…..’ you’ll say)
And that, my friend, is the self-fulfilling prophecy of fundraising.
And I get it, I felt this way (and fundraised this way) for 13 years.
But it does not have to be this way.

This is For You...
- Even if you don’t have a strategy yet….
- Or you don’t think there’s any room for growth….
- Or you’re SURE the recession is going to lead to a campaign flop and there is no way I can convince you otherwise….
- Or you’re just so tired and you don’t know how you could possibly DO one more thing. (But you’re willing to press play, sit back and close your eyes, and listen at the very least)
This isn't For You...
- You don’t have any challenges with fundraising
- You don’t appreciate the value of executive coaching and think another strategy or tech tool will save the day
- Don’t want to hear or consider another perspective around some of the challenges you’re experiencing.
