Don’t think of yourself as a “fundraiser.” That sounds like it’s all about money. And money is one of the top taboo topics in our society. Think of yourself, instead, as a “ philanthropy facilitator.” That makes it about love. “Philanthropy” translated from the Greek literally means “ love (philos) of humanity (Anthropos).” . When you ask for a philanthropic gift you’re coming from a place of love , inviting donors to join you. .

Traditionally, January isn’t a very lucrative month for fundraising. Why? Donors who just made a donation to your nonprofit during the end-of-year giving season might not think you need another donation from them so soon after they made their last gift.
