The rise of altruism
As we emerge through this crisis I see the rise of compassion, empathy and altruism.
To change fundraising you need courage
Belief gives you the courage to push through. To fail and try again, to resist against the detractors, and the “drains”. Without belief I think many will give up even if in their hearts they know fundraising needs to change.
Why the fundraising model is broken (and why this couldn’t be a better time to fundraise).
… when you accept that it is broken, and take a little bit of time to understand why, then what to do to fix it is obvious.
‘Everyone is a channel’ is not another channel
Everyone is a channel is not peer to peer. It’s not “network marketing”. Everyone is a channel changes the rules of communication. It changes everything.
Wake up to reality!
The clues to the future, and most importantly what you need to do now, can be found if you understand how we got here. And that understanding will spur you on to get cracking immediately.
Do people want to listen to you? And are you listening to them?
We need to shift from thinking “How can we target as many people as possible?” to your supporters thinking “I want to listen to what you have to say”.
Will it scale?
Can the new approach to fundraising that I advocate scale?
