You have big dreams. Not for you, but for your small nonprofit. You have a purpose and are on a mission to change the world. But something happens when it comes time to raise money. You start feeling all the emotions... fear, panic, nervousness, even guilt.
You don't need to sell your soul to raise money for a great cause. Period.
Traditional fundraising education is designed for fundraisers to get better at their craft, but this book is for non-fundraisers, or reluctant fundraisers. Dig in for some myth-busting and re-framing of fundraising to unlock the potential of your small nonprofit.
What you'll learn in Raise It!
Fundraising for reluctant fundraisers.
-
The secret reasons you're not successful with fundraising that have nothing to do with the size of your organization, its brand recognition, or having a dedicated fundraiser on staff.

-
Why so much of "fundraising best practices" should NOT be the goal for a small nonprofit.

How to find a fundraising strategy that aligns with your mission and lights you up.
-
The actual skills that lead to successful fundraising .
Leave the "ick" behind!
Fundraising that feels good is not a pipe-dream.

"Cindy kindly guides the reader into deeper reflection and brave exploration to inspire more meaningful action. If you would rather “eat worms” than fundraise (what one of my former CEOs used to say…), then this is the book for you! Uncover and fall in love with the true power of fundraising, without selling your soul.”
