If you're feeling disconnected and ill at ease in high stakes meetings with prospective donors, and end up feeling disappointed and dispirited after spending months working to get the meeting, chances are you may be experiencing one or more of the following: --Putting so much energy into prepping and delivering a perfectly polished and professional pitch that you can't really track how it's landing --Living in dread of any awkward moments and talking to fill the silence anytime there's a moment's pause --Working to find some point of personal connection through hours of online background research, and then clamming up in the meeting because you're worried that you'll let the wrong thing slip and come across like a cyber-stalker. --Struggling to stay fully focused because you find yourself feeling hyper aware of anything about your identity or experience that sets you apart from the donor If you're experiencing any of these pain points in your fundraising efforts, you're not alone! And while there is no magic cure for everything that ails philanthropy and fundraising, the good news is there are some simple things within your own span of control to increase the possibility of building a positive, authentic relationship when you are meeting with ultra high net worth donors. Join me on Monday June 10th at 12:30 ET for this month's Fully Human Fundraising webinar where we'll be looking at 9 keys to positive personal connection in your fundraising meetings.

Every for-profit business should have a non-profit business. Why? Think about it - tax advantages. The non-profit can feed the for-profit business and you can take a salary in a non-profit. Google will give up to $10,000 per month to your non-profit for advertising. Also, you can legally give money to your own non-profit to reduce taxes and so much more. Visit https://lnkd.in/ghtBgGEu or message me for more info. This one is a no-brainer and here is the best part. You are doing good in your community. It makes sense for any business, any size and then SAB will help you grow. Great post Jason Miller

Understanding the nonprofit landscape, crafting strategic marketing plans, harnessing digital tools, innovating in fundraising, and measuring impact are fundamental steps towards growth.
