Asking for money. Even experienced fundraising professionals feel that way. So how do you feel if you\u2019re a board member or volunteer? Fundraising isn\u2019t even what you do for a living!<\/p>\n<p>In our inaugural\u00a0episode of our new podcast, <em>Nonprofits Are Messy<\/em>, fundraiser extraordinaire Seth Rosen (who is also my Senior Associate) and I discuss concrete ways that nonprofit leaders and volunteers can ask for money without panic and fear.<\/p>\n<h2>IN THIS EPISODE<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Why people choose to give money<\/li>\n<li>Why it\u2019s so hard to ask for money and how to overcome that fear<\/li>\n<li>How to prepare before making an ask<\/li>\n<li>The most important thing to tell yourself before making the ask<\/li>\n<li>How to craft your \u201cpitch\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>When I became the Executive Director of GLAAD I was a complete fundraising virgin and right after I started, I discovered the organization was starved for money.

There are practical and surprisingly easy things anyone can do to prepare, and then make, a fundraising solicitation. I chose this topic for the first episode of the <em>Nonprofits Are Messy<\/em> podcast because so many people struggle with asking for money.<\/p>\n<h2>Episode Notes<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/joangarry.com\/about-joan-garry\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Joan Garry\u2019s Bio<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/joangarry.com\/team\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Seth Rosen\u2019s Bio<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/joangarry.com\/category\/fundraising\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Additional fundraising resources on Joan\u2019s blog<\/a><\/li>\n<li>Music by <a href=\"http:\/\/www.jukeboxtheghost.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Jukebox the Ghost<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Asking for money can be intimidating.
