FindingFunds Revisited

In 2011, I created a blog called FindingFunds based on my years of experience raising a lot of money for a lot of causes.

My blog was very short and practical with tips and tricks for how to raise money, find corporate sponsors, and find in-kind donations for programs and services.

I stopped writing the blog when I stopped actually raising money and I joined the ranks of the blue and yellow, as the Local Marketing Specialist for IKEA Charlotte. Part of my job includes giving away stuff.

Now that I've been on the other side of the fence for a couple of years - actually answering emails, calls, and in-person requests for donations, I've decided to resurrect my blog.

Now, my blog will be even better with real experiences shared on how to successfully make the ask and, now, experience on the side of the person who has to divide up and hand out what is available to donate to the many, many worthwhile causes, charities, and organizations that come a knocking.

It is going to be a fascinating look at what works from the eyes of the fundraiser AND what works in the eyes of the corporate sponsor.

I hope you will follow my blog and come along for the ride!
