Factors people rarely consider when fundraising: 🕒 Timing: Don’t try to raise a round when people tend to be OOO — think August, December, July. 🌍 Fundraising environment: Understand the state of the market with an index such as the free one provided by GoodWater. 💸 Discounts: Discounts give investors the opportunity and right to purchase shares at a discount in subsequent funding rounds. 📉 Dilution: Fundraising isn’t easy, but that doesn’t mean you have to take every penny that you can get. Be wary of dilution and set a maximum amount to raise.

📚 Remember the “choose your own adventure” books we read as kids? 🚌 If there’s one thing we’ve learned in working with nonprofits, it’s that no two are the same and they are each on their own unique adventure!

Why Toast to the Town? As we gear up for our second annual gala, "Toast to the Town," hosted by the CLG Foundation, it's essential to reflect on the "why". The CLG Foundation was established with a clear purpose: to support and uplift disadvantaged youth in our community by fostering entrepreneurship. With programs designed to provide motivation and education, we're committed to giving every child, regardless of their background, the opportunity to thrive and succeed. But why a gala, you might wonder? Simply put, events like "Toast to the Town" serve as more than just fundraising opportunities. They're a celebration of community, of unity, and of our shared commitment to making a difference. By coming together, we not only raise vital funds for our cause but also amplify our impact and reach. So, as we prepare to raise our glasses once again at this year's gala, let's remember why we're here: to ignite passion, to inspire change, and to ensure that every child has the opportunity to pursue their dreams. Cheers to entrepreneurship. Cheers to community. Cheers to making a difference. 🥂

The most effective fundraisers I've met don’t ask for too little—they ask for too much. Bold requests draw attention, promise impact, and inspire larger contributions from funders who want to be part of something ambitious. It’s possible to be both realistic and ambitious by offering “t-shirt sizes” for a project. Ask yourself: What are my S, M, and XL versions of this project? Lead with XL. Sell S as the fundable-now pilot. (Check out my latest video for more on this and six other surprising approaches that top fundraisers rely on: https://lnkd.in/eKbRdz8w)
