Thank you for this post and thank you for this website! I am in the process of becoming a professional fundraiser for a wonderful NGO and fear doesn’t even begin to cover what I’m feeling! It’s not just about my own insecurities, I simply don’t want to disappoint the amazing people who are making things happen and who need me to facilitate that. You can be sure I’ll be reading every single post on here.

Thanks, Fundly… and you’re right, that is a great tip for a development pro to get their feet wet. Thanks again!

I think you hit the nail on the head by addressing Fear as the main issue people face with fundraising. It’s hard!

One suggestion I’ve heard is to start fundraising with activities that don’t require a direct ask, like making thank-you phone calls, etc. That helps people slowly ease there way into the direct ask for money.

Good, thoughtful post.
