I love this post from ArtsHacker: Everything I Ever Needed To Know About Arts Marketing, I Learned From Mister Rogers.
It's about arts marketing, but t could be about fundraising:
- Speak Clearly And Authentically
- Don't Be Afraid To Try New Things (Even If You're Not Very Good At Them To Start)
- People Like You Just The Way You Are
For me, there's one more Mr. Rogers secret that can make fundraisers great: Love your audience.
Mr. Roger's love for his audience is truly inspiring. And he loved them the way we should love donors: He paid attention to children. He studied their psychology and knew what motivated them. He also clearly loved children as they are -- not as we sometimes wish they'd be.
Approach your donors that way: With deep love that leads us to pay close attention to what they need from us ... and love real donors as they are ... with no agenda to remake them in our own image.
That will lead to amazing success in your fundraising!
