Developing the Right Mindset to be an Effective Fundraiser (Rhea Wong)
March 2022
Do you struggle with fundraising? Have you truly reflected why? In honor of our 150th episode of Your Path to Nonprofit Leadership, we discuss what it takes to overcome your struggles and maximize your fundraising with a leading expert, Rhea Wong. If your fundraising isn't a strategy as much as it's a mix of tactics and tools cobbled together, then listen as Rhea introduces her unique and innovative program called The Fundraising Accelerator. Also, learn how to motivate your board to engage in fundraising so you never again have to ask, beg or demand their participation again. Before you can execute on even the best strategic plan, nonprofit leaders must first have the right money mindset. You'll hear clearly articulated examples of deepening your relationships with donors and beneficial insight into the many variations of the fundraising cycle. As someone who recently released his debut book, Patton enthusiastically explores Rhea's new book, Get That Money Honey: The No BS Guide to Raising Money for Your Nonprofit.
"Once you stop projecting assumptions onto your donors, you'll realize fundraising is not about the money, it's about the relationship."
