When seeking products or services, we at First Capital Leasing recommended the support of local business. #smallbusiness #localbusiness #businesslease

The currency of fundraising isn’t money… It’s relationships and time invested with people. Your time as a fundraiser is valuable and so is your donors. It’s a bank account that only goes in one direction. 📉 Invest wisely. Spend time getting to know your donors over a hot cup of joe (that you pay for). Be casual and authentic about it. Don’t force the conversation, but have a few pointed questions you want to ask prepared. Remember, this isn’t purely a social call. You’re getting paid to raise funds. I learned from reading to spend the first 90% of the visit in casual conversation and the last 10% on business. This has worked very well for me. You can do it. Make the ask! #fundraising #majorgifts #joydealer
