Recognizing where your strengths are best applied and empowering others to tackle the rest. This is just one of the insights shared in the latest episode of Creating Good, where Jehron W.

✨ Fundraising isn't about manipulation—it’s about trust. When we reduce the process to sales tactics and emotional triggers, we lose sight of the core of philanthropy: building genuine relationships. ✅ Donors need to trust that their contributions are making the intended impact, and using sleazy sales techniques erodes that trust. To learn more about this crucial mindset shift, tune into the latest episode of Creating Good, where Rhea Wong, founder of Rhea Wong Consulting, joins host Matt Barnes.

🤝 When nonprofits operate from a scarcity mindset—perhaps fueled by past experiences and fear, this impacts how they interact with people. On occasion, they see potential donors transactionally, rather than as genuine relationships. 🗣️ The way we frame our conversations, especially in the nonprofit space, can make or break our efforts. Shifting from a mindset of "begging" for resources to one of value and partnership is critical for long-term success. Rhea Wong, founder of Rhea Wong Consulting, dives into the power of mindset shifts and relationship-building in the latest episode of Creating Good, hosted by Matt Barnes.
