MONEY MAKES THE CHANGE GO ROUND
Don’t ask, don’t get. This is the motivating, and educational TEDX message that Kara Logan Berlin shared at Santa Clara University.
We were so happy to hear this message because Kara Logan Berlin encouraged us to skip past the ickiness of asking for money and to see it as an opportunity to do more work in an NGO!
1. Reconcile your personal relationship with money and your professional ask for money. There is a distinction between asking for yourself, and asking in pursuit of a bigger purpose.
2. Build Relationships. Do the work and do your homework. Interact with potential donors from their point of interest, what they care about, what they believe in, and also what they are already donating to. Find a midpoint between what you need and what they care for! Where possible, do it in person.
3. Make the ask. When you express your need (concisely). Ask donors “would you consider making xyz donation?” - don’t take the question back. And if you get rejected, just ask, “what would you consider?”
Do you feel icky about asking for money?

During the past few weeks, Midwest Studies Group is honored to have been getting a lot of requests from those looking to start a Capital Campaign. Just a few tips to organizations looking to start one:
1) A Capital Campaign is like good BBQ . . . you need to cook it "low and slow". Don't rush into starting one. Take the time to do things the right way and have a plan in place. Don't get out there and start selling bricks and t-shirts.
2) Have you done a strategic plan and feasibility study yet? If not, these should be done. If you are wondering why, go back and read Number 1 above.
If you need help with some questions we are happy to give some free advice. Just visit us at https://lnkd.in/dPDGjaw#fundraising#feasibilitystudies#nonprofit#capitalcampaign#strategicplanning
