NOTEWORTHY QUOTES
“A big piece that I would say is number one, and I made this mistake early on is thinking that fundraising is about the money. It's not about the money. It's about relationships. It's about trying to help people, change the world, and build the legacy that they want to build. And that money is part of that journey, but we confuse the journey with the money.”
“Every piece of communication you put out should be about building trust. Because ultimately, trust equals donations.”
“People want to be known, they want to be seen. And as fundraisers, I think we have to open this space for people to tell us who they are and what they're about, and what lights them up or doesn't. What makes them mad or doesn't? It's almost like therapy.”
