Starting a Nonprofit: 9 Questions Funders Will Ask You

Starting a nonprofit and wondering how to attract funders? Make sure you have good answers to these questions. #Nonprofit #Fundraising #Nonprofits

When I first started a nonprofit organization and pitched my ideas to potential funders, donors, and grant foundations, I often heard them ask the same questions over and over again. I quickly realized I needed to have a solid plan, which included great answers to those questions, if I was going to be taken seriously while fundraising for my nonprofit.

Some of the mistakes I made when I first started prevented my nonprofit organization from growing faster than it could have! In this video I talk through 9 common nonprofit fundraising questions I’ve heard time and time again and share insights into the minds of the funders asking these questions so you can craft your plans and responses - and raise the money you need to make an impact!

Hope this helps!
