Funding Lesson #18 – Make Your Team, Your Fundraising Team

In the world of nonprofits, charities, and faith communities, resources are the lifeblood that fuels our missions. And if you’re here, chances are you’re one of the incredible individuals helping to secure those vital resources.

But here’s the thing: you don’t have to go it alone. While one person may bear more responsibility, the strength lies in building a team.

Let’s face it: most organizations are already a team. From the dedicated board members to the passionate volunteers and generous donors, each person plays a crucial role. Yet, despite having a team, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed and isolated in the quest to raise the funds that keep everything moving.

But fear not! The level of support we receive from our team is within our control. Here’s how you can transform your team into a formidable fundraising force:

1️⃣ Empowerment through Information: Ensure your team is well-versed in the organization’s mission, the impact it’s making, and the pressing needs that require attention. Equip them with the knowledge of where to direct potential donors and how to engage those eager to help.

2️⃣ Foster a Culture of Inclusion: By keeping everyone informed on a regular basis, you empower each team member to be an integral part of the fundraising journey. This not only boosts morale but also encourages active participation in initiatives that drive donations and foster a profound sense of belonging and purpose.

Together, let’s turn your team into a fundraising powerhouse!
