Summary
As fundraisers, we're often overlooked and quite misunderstood. "Just go raise the money," they say. "If you need a bigger team, raise more money so we can hire." Philanthropy is a tough gig. We're working with what we've got, and it is often beans. We make magic happen and operate as a conductor in the beautiful symphony that is community, impact and sustainability, and we're often sacrificing ourselves along the way. Throughout my career, I've broken the "philanthropy rules" and established my own. I'm a self-taught fundraiser with a get shit done attitude, an abundance mindset and with or without you energy that is now helping leaders and organizations raise more money without sacrificing who they are. Each chapter I share is based on my own personal journey and what has contributed to my success over two decades, leaving you key takeaways to question arbitrary and outdated rules, and to challenge the status quo. Together, let's rethink philanthropy. ----- Sarah Ernest doesn't just invite us to rethink philanthropy; she challenges us to reinvent it.
