#280 - Money Mindset and Fundraising


Listen Later

Are you giving money too much power in your fundraising efforts? Are desperation and scarcity sabotaging your fundraising success? 😣


You’re not alone, my friend. Many leaders try tactic after tactic, only to come up short again and again. Exhausting, right?


But what if the real barrier isn’t your savvy strategy, but your mindset? 💭


On this week’s episode of Nonprofit Lowdown, we’re diving deep into money mindset to discover how trauma and the stories we tell ourselves about money affect our fundraising for better or worse. 


Here are a few of my takeaways:

🔑 Trauma and money experiences get encoded in our brains and bodies, affecting our fundraising mindsets and results

🔑 Attaching heavy emotion like desperation or scarcity to money activates our fight-or-flight response

🔑This traps us in survival mode rather than abundance - and donors feel that!


🔑By unpacking our money stories and shifting to an abundance mindset, our outer results can transform.


This is where the real work starts. We have to go inward to unearth our subsurface money narratives. What did your family say about money? What emotions come up when you fundraise? When you uncover the answers to these questions and shift your mindset, you’re going to see a huge transformation in your numbers too! 


Ready to address inner blocks and finally hit your fundraising goals?
