What is the Magic that makes “things” work? It is very simple! The magic of making things happen is the “DOING”. Yes, that is right it is the “actual doing” of the “thing.”
The magic is the doing, rather than planning and the preparation.
What most groups are looking for is the Magic Bullet: that one thing that would (without too much work) raise every penny they needed. And, minus the parenthetical wish, I actually had the answer. I really do know a magic bullet for fundraising. Ready?
Do something. Do anything. But do it consistently. If it isn’t working, don’t stop doing it, assess why it isn’t working. What needs to be changed? Then change that. If it is working, ask what else can we do and then (yes, you’ve got it) do that also.
Too often fundraising is something that no one actually gets to. It is discussed. Classes are taken; consultants hired; meetings with other organizations set up so that you can learn their secrets. But getting to it?
As someone said in a slightly different context: they are planning to plan to create a development plan that will somehow raise money.
Some people spend a better part of their lifetime planning for that once in a lifetime vacation. They read and study all about the destination. They get brochures and dream about what it will be like going to that country, meeting the people, eating the food and sightseeing. But, then somehow they never seem to get around to the actual doing… the actual vacation.
Are you treating your fundraising in the same way? Are you getting ready and never actually doing the fundraising?
