How to be a better fundraiser | Kara Logan Berlin | TEDxSantaClaraUniversity

[@mottspoint]

I've watched several TEDx talks on how to raise money, and Kara is far and away the most memorable, most polished and most watchable.

[@ElChairoRod]

Indeed, I will watch again a few more times. Thanks Kara.

[@RomanTheUTubeWatcher]

Hands down the most!

[@janelogan4242]

I agree!

[@Keri-Lorene]

“Giving people the opportunity to invest in something that will change the world.” I like that so much more than “Trying to get people to give me money for my cause.” I think this will be a crucial shift in perspective for me.

[@Jblair26]

What I have got from the first ted talk video, is to be a good listener, don't be stiff. I would say just be yourself and talk to the person like you are making a new friend. Building relationships is important and after they are done talking, start with icebreakers and ask questions

[@AnnieBuiVlog]

I love her natural humors and how confident she is! You’re one of a kind, Kara! I’m so impressed 💜

[@armyhegde]

No matter what we find army 💜

[@TheNovaHaus]

Fantastic presentation Kara. A lot of nuggets in here to take away but my favourite was "Fundraising is relational, not transactional"

[@oadariay]

Amazing! Never have I ever stopped a TedX video to begin taking notes like I did just now. I truly believe I can implement some of her advice and become a better development officer. Thank you!

[@jimkermitd4518]

This is possibly one of the best ted talks I’ve listened too!

[@sphanapich1155]

[@zbigkozak]

brilliant sales person!

[@seanvaughan8914]

I loved your message. I fundraiser for a small disc golf tournament where the money goes to a local Parkinson’s support group. It has always been easy for me to ask, and always hard to find the right people to ask. I appreciate your thoughts, wisdom and time in preparing this presentation.

[@tennosheela]

Excellent! I've been in fundraising for over 30 years. I practice and believe in all these ideas that Kara present here.

[@hanooaltmemy5831]

Hello Sheila I need your help I want a donation platform that support Iraq because I didn’t find one

[@dhorkydehumanitarian]

Hi Helloooo, I am an African girl who wants to start a foundation that seeks to advocate for the rights of persons with acondroplasia and dwarfism. Can you help me raise funds?

[@FemaleEntrepreneursWorldwide]

Absolutely love how and what Kara presented here! We are delighted to have her to connect with our members on 16 Feb 😍

[@MeerQamar]

Love to Listen again and again. Leaving this comment here.When I come back I remember this❤

[@joseortiz-fw7by]

What a great teacher. She inspires me and gives me confidence

[@maximilianlehmann3104]

That was world-class. As someone who worked closely with companies that now need to raise their next round this is highly useful.

[@bangibutaguna6505]

I intended to skip the vedio because I watched so many clips of the same subject.But this,is kara! Absolutely amazing and unique. Worth watching!

[@zensational.]

It's so refreshing when i can take informative videos off 2x speed... thank you 😅

[@CFlifestyleFoundation]

This TEDx talk really hits the point.

[@Tatsuya.Strength]

[@SanjeevKumar-hn2ml]

Great ending, each lines were hiting ,making sense.

[@monicanguata6023]

Woow. This will be a game changer for me.

[@katmusswoodwind]

Your pun game is strong

[@doraymeandyou]

This was horrific. 6:53 was an ambush. I’m not rich, I’m actually struggling, but as I live in a third world country in a poverty stricken area and am obviously foreign, most of the people I run into day to day consider me rich. If someone started firing all those questions at me I’d run a mile. If anyone asks where I live I always lie. I get particularly nervous about my daughter’s school. I don’t want her kidnapped. Making those assumptions is atrocious. You don’t know they’re not up to their eyeballs in debt and are only still living there because the house won’t sell and they’ve taken in a lodger too make ends meet. And then she says she gets payed to teach nerds to talk to people “like they’re people”. There’s more than one way to go about alienating and dehumanizing someone. I literally skip meals on a regular when I’ve no food in and I haven’t got the energy to face the beggars outside and run the gauntlet to the corner shop. And when I do give, I don’t feel good about it; I feel like I’ve been mugged, and I’ve given out invites for future muggings.

[@beautifulkikidsfoundation]

I'm really adviced for my nonprofit organisation..Thank you dear.

Does anyone know if i need a specific education if i want to be a fundraiser?

[@altlover85]

I don't believe there is a specific background needed, but I would recommend a Bachelor's in Business, Psychology, or Communications. Being able to communicate, be empathetic, and persuasive are all vital.

[@bibianacapuskova3033]

@@altlover85 thank u so much! I am graduating soon, so this is a very helpful information.

[@altlover85]

@@bibianacapuskova3033 Happy to help! While I came to nonprofits/fundraising in a roundabout way (my undergraduate degree is in Art History) if I could do it all again, I would look for a Development Associate job (basically an office assitant for the fundraising office) and see how I liked that work. If you can't find a job in the fundraising office, I'd advise researching companies/nonprofits where you would like to work and getting an entry level job. For example, I started my nonprofit journey doing telefundraising for a ballet company, got hired full time in their box office, and then focused on helping the box office and development departments better understand each other. Hope this helps!

[@bibianacapuskova3033]

@@altlover85 wow, it definitely helps, thank u. I'm in a position where i need to plan out my future and decide what actually i am gonna do. One thing i know for sure - i want to help people and to do something meaningful. Just don't know how exactly am i supposed to do that - so every piece of information is precious to me.
