Haley Cooper, CFRE is The Savvy Fundraiser, a nonprofit consultant and coach. We make a slightly different and deeper exploration into fundraising, emotional connections, and empathy: * Why #fundraising is an inside job and what it means to do your own inner work so you can manage in, up and out. * The significance of #emotionalconnection in the nonprofit workplace and how it can facilitate more creativity and collaboration when it comes to raising more revenue. * The correlation between a culture of #trust and enhanced emotional connections within the nonprofit team. How can leaders create an environment where vulnerability is embraced, and mistakes are seen as opportunities for growth? * Share practical strategies for incorporating #empathy into conversations, such as active listening, recognizing individual contributions, and acknowledging personal growth.

It's a key fundraising season for nonprofits. When creating your campaigns, make sure you're evaluating how well each component of your piece: ☑️ Grabs attention ☑️ Creates interest ☑️ Builds desire ☑️ Instills conviction ☑️ Prompts action
