What is your time worth? In this week's Hilborn Charity eNews,  Joanne Linka raises the topic of Compensation and Speaking in the Community – as in do you charge for your time? If yes, how do you determine the cost? If no, why not? Oh, the audacity.  Not only do we raise funds and work on behalf of a charity—we want to be compensated for our time in talking to your book club/church/workshop/staff about it.  Or do we? Is/should “outreach” to the community be part of your mandate, with costs absorbed by the organization? What if you’re a consultant? Is it just the cost of doing business? Have your say.  Read the article. Click on the survey link and answer a couple of questions.  We’ll report back shortly. https://lnkd.in/gaZizh3h

Sincerity over skill. Here’s what I mean: An inexperienced fundraiser who is passionate about their org’s mission will be far more fruitful than a skilled fundraiser working for an organization they don’t trust. If you are a fundraiser who would NEVER consider giving toward the organization you’re raising funds for, you’re at the wrong place. How can you authentically ask someone for a gift knowing that you would not entrust your own money to the organization you represent? Donors can smell the insincerity through the phone. Find a place and a mission you’re passionate about and you will find a way to develop the skills you need to raise funds.

We’ve all worked in situations where our colleagues in management, service delivery, or even other fundraisers don’t understand how trust fundraising works. Or the available amount of funding and timescale for achieving it. It’s up to us to manage expectations. Internally - what can be delivered, with whom an external relationship should be established, what potential income can realistically be secured, and how long it will take to achieve. Externally - what can be delivered for the beneficiaries with the funding awarded and what level of contact, and with whom, the foundation can expect to have. Or what any relationship will actually be: as simple as sending a suitable thank for any donation or as complicated as inviting a foundation trustee onto your board! #TrustFundraising
