    A Few Quotes to Irritate and Discourage

    In an earlier episode a few weeks ago, Bob shared a few of his favorite quotes. We all like funny, smart, creative sayings, the kind that remind us to be our best, do our best, and forge onward. But like with all things, there’s another side to this coin, and we frequently hear quotes that are limiting and, yes, irritating. This episode will highlight a few of those less-favored sayings—the ones we at RSC Associates tend to avoid using. You will no doubt agree that at least one of these sayings is designed to limit, not expand, creativity and productivity.

    Selling Your Story

    When developing the fundraising message, how do YOU promote your arts organization? What words do you use? What stories do you tell? Many staff, board, and artists have a tough time answering. Let’s touch on how to get better at telling your organizational story and selling it, too. At RSC Associates, we help clients build their messages balanced on Facts, Finances, and Feelings. The first two – facts and finances are fairly easy for anyone to pull together based on the information on hand. However, the “feelings” that can strongly influence a donor prospect can often be a ‘miss’ in the message. Without the ‘feelings’, the facts and finances fall flat. Facts and finances “Tell,” while Feelings “Sell.” This episode will help you find that sweet-spot in balancing your message.

We’re also going to get honest about what those reasons might truly indicate yet remain unspoken by your donors.

    The Power of Sharing Stories

    In recent years, there’s been a shift towards what I like to call the "power of sharing stories." This approach goes beyond just telling a story; it's about fostering meaningful conversations and genuine connections between donors and our beloved arts organizations. It’s what the true meaning of the word “inclusive” should be in a philanthropic environment.

    A Few Favorite Quotes to Amuse and Inspire

    I like clever sayings, fun saying and sayings that help me remember to be focused and effective. So today, and out of several dozen such sayings, I’m going share ten of my favorites – most of which I use regularly. I thought it might be fun to describe the saying, tell you where I heard it and what it means to me, especially when applied to fundraising in the arts. I hope you like these, too, and find some value and application in hearing them.

    Err on the Side of Asking: Overcoming Hesitation in Fundraising

    There are numerous reasons why fundraising staff and volunteers won’t ask a prospect for support without a lot of feet-dragging. Whether it’s for annual giving, a major gift or a planned gift, hesitation often seems more comfortable than taking action. This episode addresses the causes for delays in asking for support, and what you and your team can do to get out of your comfort zone and instead, 'err on the side of asking'.
