A Confidential Letter to the Overworked, Underpaid Fundraising Professional from Mazarine

Dear Fundraising Superheroine (or superhero),

You’re here because you know you have a problem. Perhaps your immediate boss doesn’t know how to fundraise and has no interest in learning. Perhaps your board won’t fundraise no matter how much you beg. Perhaps you’re surrounded by a barrage of unrealistic expectations and demands with no way to say STOP!

Does this sound like you?

You are busy, preoccupied with your appeal letter, your event, your grant proposal, managing your interns, and maybe even looking for another job. (Did you know that 18-24 months is the longest that most nonprofit fundraisers stay with an organization?)

I’ve been where you are. And I know what you’re going through.

How can you gently educate your boss and board about how to fundraise? How can you help them get out of the way so you can do your job? How can you create fundraising allies instead of fundraising roadblocks?

For you, dear superhero, I have got a SOLUTION!

Imagine your board members cheering as you enter the room! Imagine celebrating small wins with your boss. Imagine a fat bonus check for you because you made a better-than-ever-before return on your event! But how do you get there?

In this ebook, you’ll find tips, tricks, and techniques guaranteed to work at your next supervision meeting or next board meeting. Everything from:

  • How to show your measure of success cannot just be dollars raised, and how else to measure what you’re doing, ESPECIALLY if you’re new in your position
  • Ways to communicate with your Executive Director that establish your boundaries and set expectations
  • Board report strategies that will make them sit up and take notice
  • Board quiz to help them get to know fundraising isn’t just asking for money, to get them to start to help you

  • Ways to appreciate board members that are meaningful and will help you build relationships
  • How to gain the upper hand in a bad situation
