You need more donors. But when you start thinking about who to talk to, you get stuck. You’ve already asked the people you know, and you’re not sure how to bring up your ministry with someone new without sounding pushy.

She was sending newsletters and keeping supporters updated. But inviting new people into the work felt harder.
As we talked, we started with a question that ministry leaders can easily skip: Who would already want to be part of what you’re doing?
