Asking for Referrals.

"A referral is the key to the door of resistance." - Bo Bennett

Referrals are the backbone of successful fundraising endeavors. They help you find new supporters and create more chances to connect. By building strong relationships and using the networks you already have, you can get a lot more people on board.

One way to do this is by building what we call a 'triangle of trust.' This means taking care of your current supporters and working with local groups, like churches, to find new ones. These connections not only bring in new referrals but also make people trust your cause more.

When you ask for referrals, it's important to be clear about what you're asking for. This helps make things easier and faster. When you talk to people, even if they can't give money themselves, make sure your message is exciting and shows why your cause matters. This can inspire them to tell others about it.

Referrals keep your fundraising going strong by bringing in more potential supporters. This summer, make it a priority to get as many referrals as you can. These referrals aren't just potential donors – they're people who really believe in what you're doing. By reaching out to different groups and getting more people involved, you can make an even bigger impact with your fundraising efforts.
