Here is something that continues to make my brain spin!
I approach a non-profit organization, veteran related or not, with a short proposal to help them raise funds so they can continue to perform their “Mission Statement”. They are all asking for money – donations – just look at their websites for the “How to help” or “Donate Now” buttons or links.
Almost all of the people I have contacted and spoken with or exchanged emails with have a similar response – “We have no wish to raise funds in that method”. (I took a few comments and paraphrased them.)
These folks either have the wrong person making the decision or they are not listening or they are thinking within a very, very small box or they don’t want to work a little.
Why would a non-profit turn their backs on raising funds?
Why would a non-profit say “not interested” even when it will cost them nothing but a little work?
Okay, so your answer is what? Would someone explain to me why the answers are like that when I can show, and help, them raise $20,000 at a single event?
Anyone? If I could get someone to explain it then perhaps I could improve my explanations to them. Given the chance I know I can help.
