What do you do when the ask isn’t going as planned?

On this episode of Fundraising @ Camp, Heather, Joe, and Travis discuss what to do when you fumble the ask from a donor. From not asking for enough to trying to solicit a donation from a deceased donor, our hosts share some of their past mistakes and learnings and how they jumped back in the saddle afterwards. Tune in for more great tools about fundraising for camp as well as engaging conversation with seasoned camp and non-profit professionals.

Joe, Heather, and Travis kick off this episode by sharing some of the wildest donations they have ever received. Not going to lie, we are jealous of the unsolicited donation Heather received. Tune in for this episode of Fundraising @ Camp where the hosts remind you to remember the fun of fundraising.
