What is your biggest fundraising strength?
You go to the grocery store to buy ingredients to make your favorite pie recipe and can’t find one of the key ingredients, so you...
Keep looking until you find it and if you don’t find it, go to as many stores as you need to until you find it.
Decide to try a completely new recipe for an exotic pie you see on a flyer in the produce section.
Find someone who works there and get them to help you.
Don’t worry about it because you know you’ll find a substitute at home and the pie will still taste great.

You invite a potential client to lunch at one of your favorite restaurants. You arrive first and are told that they are slammed and will not have a table ready for at least another 35 minutes. You...
Wait for your guest to arrive so you can decide what to do together.
Put your name on the wait list because you’re sure that these wait times are never as long as they say they are. You’re confident you’ll be seated soon.
Notice it’s a beautiful day out and go to the sandwich shop next door to order a picnic lunch to eat in a nearby park.
Give your name to be put on the wait list — this place is totally worth the wait.
You are organizing an event and you’re not getting the sign-ups you were originally aiming for. You respond by…
Doubling down on your efforts. It’s crunch time!
Reaching out to your community for help by asking your friends, peers, and allies to share about your event on their social media. You know you would do the same for them!
Trusting your instincts and staying the course on the strategy you had originally planned. Things will work out, and you believe a smaller group might actually yield a more transformational experience.
Pivot and restructure your event to something different that you've never tried before but might be more appealing.
