154: Building Fundraising Confidence

In today's episode, "Building Fundraising Confidence," I’m diving into the world of fundraising and exploring how it can help schools achieve their goals to make a positive impact on their communities. Fundraising is not just about asking people for money, but rather offering an opportunity to contribute to something meaningful and make a difference. I'll be discussing four mindsets that might be holding you back from feeling confident in your fundraising efforts and how to shift them.Key Lessons from the episodeBuilding fundraising confidence is important for school leaders.Fundraising is not simply asking people for money; it's offering them an opportunity to make a difference.Finding your personal connection to the project makes fundraising easier.Understanding the impact of philanthropic donations is key to building fundraising confidence.Fundraising success is achievable by embracing a growth mindset and continuous learning."Nobody is a natural fundraiser.
