Build Fundraising Confidence

Description

Most people don’t love fundraising or making hard asks, but practice makes it easier and more successful. This microlearning is a short, hands-on exercise that gets you comfortable making a real donation ask in just a few minutes, so you can notice changes when you prepare, get feedback, and try again.

Record yourself making a $50 donation ask, then answer a few quick reflection questions about how it felt and what you were thinking. Take five minutes to reset, make the ask a second time, and reflect again. Most candidates and staffers find their nerves ease and their confidence grows in just this one exercise, and the side-by-side comparison helps you see your own progress in real time.

Run through this microlearning solo or with a call time partner as part of your fundraising training.
