Fundraising: Getting Past the Fear of Asking
This engaging coaching session focuses on getting past the fear of asking and how to avoid some common mistakes. Learn an easy way to sort through contact lists and build a strong prospect list based on the 3 Cs of fundraising: capacity, connection and commitment. Learn specific language for how to make a strong ask, based on the relationship-building tips shared in Art of the Schmooze, and ten tips that will make your next fundraising plan a success. "If you are afraid to ask for money, kick yourself out of the way and let the cause talk."
ABOUT OUR PRESENTER
Robbie Samuels has been recognized as a networking expert by Inc. and Lifehacker, and profiled in "Stand Out: How to Find Your Breakthrough Idea and Build a Following Around It." Since 2009, his engaging and fun presentations have helped a wide array of audiences increase their networking and fundraising confidence. From 2005-2015, Robbie was Senior Manager of Events and Donor Engagement at GLAD and coordinated up to 25 fundraisers and donor cultivation events a year. These fundraisers raised nearly one million dollars annually (25% of GLAD's budget). In 2006, he founded Socializing for Justice (SoJust.org) to build a cross-cultural, cross-issue progressive community and network in Boston. In recognition of his social justice work, Boston City Council named his birthday "Robbie Samuels Day" in 2011. Learn about Robbie and his work at www.RobbieSamuels.com
