Leaders who raise millions ask for millions

Ever wonder how that other nonprofit got that $2M gift?

The Unexpected $2M Gift

They asked for more than they were comfortable asking for.

Here's the challenge: Sometimes $2M gifts come in unexpectedly, without asking. Sometimes we get lucky. And then we rely on that luck a little too much. 😬

We get the huge gift and then we secretly expect this to get easier because that huge success just... came to us.

The Courage of Multi-Million Fundraising

Here's what I know after raising tens of millions and supporting my clients to do the same:

Leaders who raise multi-millions ask for multi-millions. No, they negotiate for it. They don't just ask. They refuse to accept crumbs.

If you have a big vision for impact, you must have even bigger courage.

If your future self raises tens of millions or hundreds of millions, when would be a good time to prioritize courage? When would be a good time to elevate your strategy? To learn a new way of going about this entire fundraising thing?

The best leaders know there is never a good time.

The time is now.

Conclusion: Ask for More

Ask for more.

Stop settling.

Get real about what you need.

Authentic, real, business conversations create authentic, real, and business-level partners who will be with you through thick and thin.

That's what I want for you.
