Some people HATE asking for money, and of all people, I get it! Money feels very personal. Which is why peer-to-peer fundraising can be so very effective. Generally, when doing a fundraiser to like a charity run or mission trip, people are asking friends, family, and colleagues to donate one time. Easy peasy. Done and done. Often, it's smaller amounts of money and super low commitment. I've said many times, if someone looks at me in the face or directly calls me and asks them to give $25 or $50 to their fundraiser that's meaningful to them, I'll say yes. However, I may or may not click on a link, respond to an email, or for heaven's sake, snail mail (although I know that's the only way some people give.) People give to people. Sure, there are causes that people are passionate about, but when someone appeals personally to you, there's a deeper connection and a trust that you're joining them in something bigger than yourself--or themself. Don't be afraid to fundraise for a cause you believe in. Be a champion and voice for someone who can't do it on their own. I get to do it everyday and I want to invite you to do it too. Join my Run for RMHC Team, or donate to my fundraiser. If you don't click the link, don't be surprised if you hear from me directly, because supporting children and families who come to the Ronald McDonald House for lodging, food, and a community of support need our help. https://lnkd.in/gx9g7vgq

I sometimes hear people say that they would prefer to give their donations directly, hand ???? to hand ??, rather than through a charity. I get it, cut out the middle man. And sometimes this makes sense. But more than likely, if our goal ??is to empower people out of hardship, then it will take more than a handout, and that’s where a good charity comes in. They can provide targeted support, monitoring and evaluation - and that costs money too btw (??!). Usually, leaving it to trusted professionals rather than DIY, will be more impactful. So next time you give, find an organisation which is focused on impact, but makes you feel like you’re giving the donation hand to hand. p.s. when you see fundraisers personally flying around the world to deliver aid.. ??questions should be asked! The chances are this is neither effective nor efficient. #impactfirst #intentionalgiving
