There are a lot of things people say about nonprofits that just aren’t true.

In this episode, we go after some of the biggest myths in the fundraising world.

Like the idea that if your cause is good enough, the money will follow.

Or that board members don’t need to give.

Or that overhead is a dirty word.

Or that only rich people can make a difference.

We don’t just bust these myths. We talk about where they come from, why they’re so sticky, and how they hold organizations back.
