In this eye-opening episode, we’re unpacking where the real money is hiding—and spoiler: it’s not just federal grants. We’re talking about underestimated goldmines like churches, local businesses, small family foundations, giving circles, and service clubs that are still giving generously.
Whether you’re new to fundraising or a seasoned pro, this episode is your reminder:
If you’re not asking, you’re not getting.
💡 Takeaways include:
• Why individual donors still lead in giving
• Small family foundations are everywhere—are you looking?
• Local businesses, churches, and Rotary Clubs want to support you
• Fundraising isn’t begging—it’s inviting people to invest in impact
