1. Take a moment to think about why you are involved in fundraising. What is your motivation for fundraising? What is it that fuels your fundraising efforts?
Belief in the importance of this non-profit’s mission. I want it to succeed.
Obedience to the role and skills God has given me – this is what he is calling me to right now. Overcome resistance and learn to do this well and authentically.
2. How would you describe your current mindset when it comes to fundraising? Are there any areas in which you might need a mindset shift?
Scarcity mindset – there are limited funds we all compete for – God wants me to move into an abundance mindset. There are so many people with means who want to be part of something bigger than themselves. Holds me back: new skill to me, uncertain how to do it, worry about bothering people or missing the mark.
