Development Doctor
Many people fear fundraising
because they are scared of being told "no." But the truth is 9 times out of 10, that
"no" can be changed to a "yes." So the next time a potential funder tells you
"no," identify why and modify your ask accordingly. The
"types of no's" are as follows: - No, not for this
(wrong issue)
- No, not you
(wrong person asking)
- No, not me (I'm
not the decision maker)
- No, not
unless...(looking for recognition)
- No, not in this
way (not cash, but in-kind)
- No, not now (wait
until after I pay my bills)
- No, too much
(scale down amount of ask)
- No, too little
(believe in your cause, ask for more)
- No, go away
Please direct all questions to the
Development Doctor at thodnett@womenwork.org. If you have any specific
web sites or resources that you use to raise funds, let the Doctor know.
Good prescriptions for financial health should be shared!
