Episode 96 | Stop Asking Donors to Fund Growth. Ask Them to Fund Excellence.
About this episode
The episode challenges the assumption that donors prefer funding growth over funding excellence in the social sector.
What if I told you that the most powerful fundraising ask you could make right now has nothing to do with serving more people? What if the ask that would inspire your most loyal, long-term donors is not about expanding your programs at all? Today, I want to challenge one of the most deeply held assumptions in the social sector: that growth is always the story donors want to hear.
