116. 6 Biggest Fears When Making an Appeal (and How to Overcome Them)

In this episode of the Fundraising Masterminds Podcast, we're talking about the 6 biggest fears people have when making an appeal — and how to overcome them.

Tune in as we walk through the deeper reasons it's so hard to ask for money. From the awkwardness of talking to friends, to the fear of losing control, we'll talk about every mindset you need to overcome to fundraise with confidence.

Hear the story of Jim's worst "No" response. Find out what made Moses just as inadequate as you feel. Discover how to overcome the fear of losing control through the power of Scripture. And learn about the donor who gave $25,000 — because $50,000 wasn't on the response card.

So whether you're new to appeals or are looking to refine your technique, this episode will give you the Scripture and paradigm shifts you need to move from beggar to ambassador and overcome your fundraising fears.

NEED HELP WITH YOUR NONPROFIT?

Most nonprofits are under-funded. Even if you think your nonprofit is doing well, we've found you could be doing much better. However, most nonprofits don't have a clear development strategy that keeps them grounded. As a result, they "get creative" and "try new things" based on what is popular or trending, or they get comfortable with where they are at and don't realize the dangers they will be facing in just a few short years.

The Perfect Vision Dinner Course is a 20-week "live video" course that addresses this problem head on. The course was developed by Jim Dempsey after 38+ years as a Senior Development Director at Cru. After Jim had personally done over 2,500 vision dinners in his lifetime and raised over $1 billion worldwide, Jim and Jason have partnered together to bring you Fundraising Masterminds. Our first course, The Perfect Vision Dinner is a time-tested proven formula that will introduce our development system and grow your nonprofit to its maximum potential.

The course includes 20-hours of personalized development coaching from Jim Dempsey and Jason Galicinski and also includes a real-time community group where you have access to everyone attending the course and also our Masterminds throughout the course.

The goal for this course is to fully equip you with a Biblical basis for Development so that you can Win, Keep and Lift new partners to higher levels of involvement with your nonprofit.
