Fundraising is tough, no doubt. But knowing where to focus makes all the difference. Stephen R. Covey explains this with the Circle of Concern and the Circle of Influence. The Circle of Concern includes everything we worry about but can’t control—external factors, opinions, or circumstances. The Circle of Influence, on the other hand, focuses on what we can control—our reactions, decisions, and, most importantly, our respons-ability—our ability to respond. And that’s where the real power lies. When we take responsibility, we become proactive, shaping outcomes rather than just reacting to them. Now, here’s something even more interesting—our vocabulary plays a huge role in shaping our mindset and perspective. It all comes down to Haves vs. BEs. I will be happy when I have a good boss. I will be productive if the city has fewer rainy days. See the pattern? The Circle of Concern is full of Haves—things we wait for, conditions we wish would change. But the Circle of Influence? That’s where the BEs live: I can be patient. I can be wise, resilient, and driven—no matter the circumstances. So, where do you want to put your energy? You decide. Because the right focus changes everything. #facetoface #7habitsofhighlyeffectivepeople #KafalCanvassing #Leadership #individualgiving #india

Whoop whoop! When the founders step out, the game changes—and we're here to break ceilings, not just records. Shoutout to our powerhouse Co-founder, Mehrunisa, who just smashed it last month, landing KAFAL its biggest donation of the year—and did it straight off the streets. Yes, the streets! That's next-level grit and passion. Her mantra? "Dream big, aim bigger, and crush it. Do things right most of the time, and the wins will find you." And she's leading by example, carving a path for others to think bold and go all in. This is us. Kafal Canvassing, Version 2.0.
We don’t just play the game—we rewrite the rules. Let’s go! #kafal #savethechildren #Individualgiving #streetfundraising #facetoface

While all the for-profit companies are constantly coming up with new ways to attract Gen Z, nonprofits, apart from giving them opportunities to volunteer, are basically doing nothing at all to capture this massive potential market. We're still signing up people over their 30s and beyond! Sure, nonprofits have their reasons, with data backing up that older donors are legit long-term supporters. But completely ignoring Gen Z as part of the donor base? That’s just missing the boat! Yes, some charities visit colleges, run awareness programs, and organize field trips—great stuff—but that’s just a handful of organizations, especially in India. Let’s face it: in India, this segment is larger than the entire population of the USA, and as the article below shows, Gen Z knows how to spend their money (and boy, do they love to!). So, apart from awareness drives and field visits, if we ever want to reel them into the donor base, we’d start them off with the smallest possible commitment, nurture them with emails, regular updates, and program visits over the next year or two. This segment could open up heaps of opportunities for nonprofits in India. Who knows, we might just turn them from "broke students" into lifelong philanthropists. Worth a shot, right? #india #nonprofit #Genz #donorbase #kafalcanvassing #regulargiving #fundraising

The Never-Ending Debate: Ah, the eternal debate over charity spending on fundraising, marketing, and those elusive CEO salaries. It’s like the Stone Age thinking just never gets old, right? So, let's break it down for you. 1. Yes, We Get Paid:- Believe it or not, we do get paid. No one hands us free vegetables to cook, apartments to live in, or gasoline for our cars just because we work for a nonprofit organization. Shocking, I know. 2. Educated and Dedicated:- We went to top-tier universities too. And had invested thousands of dollars on our education. We could have chosen to work anywhere we wanted. But look at us, working day and night to make the world a better place for you and your grandkids. You're welcome. 3. Good Deeds and Enjoying Life:- Why shouldn't someone doing the right thing be allowed to enjoy life? Do you really think the only way to do good work is to become a monk, or give up on having family or children? Seriously? 4. The Ethical Dilemma:- If we could, we'd bring the children we help right to your doorstep so you could see the impact of our work. Unfortunately, we can't do that due to ethical reasons. But have you ever considered what nonprofits or governments are actually doing for social causes? 5. The Unwanted Appeal:- Why are you guys always asking for money?" Oh, we wish we didn't have to call or see you, too sir/ma’am. We'd rather just invest our money in the stock market and wait for long-term gains. We have zero interest in seeing your grumpy face as well. And that too again and again. Just so you could yell at us. 6. Big Corporations and Tax Breaks:- "Why don't you ask the big corporations?" Oh, you didn’t know? They've already started their own causes to save on taxes. And, of course, in your eyes, they become the world's saviors. Meanwhile, we've been tackling social issues for centuries, many of which exist because of those very corporations. If we ever meet the genius who wrote the book on governing nonprofits, let's just say it would be an interesting conversation. Hats Off to Fundraisers ♥️ Best wishes to all the fundraisers out there. Your resilience and love for what you do make you who you are! #fundraising #facetoface #nonprofit #kafalcanvassing
