Things can get tough during an economic downturn. When it’s harder to raise money, often I see leaders projecting their financial difficulties onto their donors or assuming that every donor’s situation is the same. Just because you get feedback from a couple of donors that they are struggling doesn’t mean that every donor is struggling.

I have a few pointers to help you build the courage you need to ask during a recession:

• Remembering the goal
• Who to ask
• How to kick fear out of the driver’s seat
• The best research tool

It’s likely that your major donors are ready to step up in new ways because they know people are struggling. You just have to ask them.
