[@iempress33]

This is amazing advice, thank you!

[@NancyR3454]

This was excellent, a great overview. As an experienced fundraiser I'd strongly disagree with his recommendation to publicly recognized a donor who wishes to remain anonymous. Unless I misunderstood, Mr. Mays states that a donor's request to be anonymous actually means they want to be acknowledged publicly in some way. There are donors who truly wish to give without public recognition, and not respecting and honoring this could absolutely destroy the trust they have in your organization, and destroy any hopes for future giving.

[@TheSmokeWatcher]

NancyR3454 agreed

[@donnafike9406]

Been doing fundraising for years, and have never had it put down on paper. Very succinct and clearly explained. Appreciate this presentation very much

[@lucasofficial9013]

Hello can you teach me how to go about a successful fundraising I really need to help my community and others around.please help

[@thenarcissistsscapegoat5091]

If this speaker starts a charity to help football players avoid brain-damaging concussions I'm donating. He's the first pro-player I've ever seen that seems to have emerged from the game unscathed and fully intact.

[@Ajustin001]

That's exactly what I was thinking too

[@lynnewart3313]

Hey Rueben, So great to see you out there doing well for the betterment of mankind!! i worked the training table for the football team when you were playing (as in feeding you) Drop your head out of the gutter you people. Anyway, as you well know, Mark Rypien (Sp?), John Trout, John Marshall and many others were there as well. Too many for me to remember in my old age! BTW, if you happen to run into Isahiah Strong tell him Lynn (Spencer's Mom) says Hi!

[@AClassesMedia]

This is very important for us right now, as we are currently in the phase of fundraising for our eLearning project. A lot of great info. Thanks sir.

[@MercrediFox]

The camera going back and forth to keep the speaker in the middle of the screen is crazy making!

[@matthiasstaber9216]

May the Gods of Internet rain blessings on the KZbin University :p

[@LidiaPanio-m2y]

Thank you so much, right now on a UNICED use case.

[@gcortorreal]

Very nicely done sir... Lots of information given to us quickly.

[@aaronreeder5753]

Rueben Mayes is truly a badass!

[@AlexZorach]

This was incredibly useful, and it fascinates me watching this how, in spite of me coming from a completely different background (I've never played football and am not really that into sports at all, I'm kinda a math and science geek) you seem to really get the exact struggles and challenges I face, I think more than anyone else in any other videos. Even though I haven't ever played football, I get exactly what you mean about the moment when suddenly the ball is in motion and you really have no idea what is going on. A lot of social interactions are like that to me; I can plan ahead, think I know someone well even, and their reactions are often still really unpredictable to me. That's just part of life, people are complex and we don't ever see people's full circumstances so we can't anticipate how they'll react, we just need to roll with what happens. I think you hit the nail on the head when you talked about the fear of ambiguity and the potential for worry or "overthinking" (coming up for reasons why someone might not want to give) when you really just need to go ahead and do it. I think this video was most helpful for me because I've been running up against these things and worrying that it somehow means that I am "doing it wrong" or that I am not going to be able to be a successful fundraiser, but hearing it come from you, that you've done this successfully and yet you still struggle with these exact same things yourself, makes me realize that nothing is wrong, it's just part of the process, and I'm going to be able to work through it just fine. Thank you so much!

Anonymous giving is the highest form of charity.

[@imAbdoo]

God has a new humanitarian service. My daughter is dying and I want to do an operation. Please help, even if it is the least. Please, please support me, my grandmother is between life and death 😭🥺 I swear to God that I am honest and in Christ I am honest 😢

[@MuturiJosephine]

I love what you are doing, great

[@sarad777]

Nice presentation, but I disagree with the thanking over and over again. A couple times is nice, but more becomes not genuine. I like to be recognized, but not to the point it is artificial.

[@legendarykandjohnson]

Sara Dolbeck I think you missed the premise of his use of the word thank, I believe he meant to show appreciation or gratitude. Both are shown in many ways, but all are actions, word, or deed *to say thanks* or show appreciation 😊

[@johnpjones1775]

from my research on fundraising, they say about 4 thank yous should be used...i don't think he meant to flood a donor with 100 thank emails, and letters a month, but a single thank you letter or email should thank the donor 3 or 4 times using different phrasing or wording.

[@AndreaClinton]

I got that he meant thank them in different ways

[@greenfum8724]

Thank you

[@jameswek8997]

I need skills of fundraising as am developing the charity organization for sponsoring drop out students to schools. I appreciate your tips and advise toward implementing this plan.

[@mycatsheenacashappid4240]

[@lotuslightheart]

[@Hanoony101]

@RuebenMayes thank you for articulating this process so clearly. Inspirational and will help me in my own fundraising non profit work.

Prospect Research makes a huge difference too, you know….

[@rossanaconte1780]

Beautiful! Thank you sir.

[@TheAllstonGroupLLC]

Prospect research helps more than you’ll know - that is, until you start raising buckets of money. Then you’ll know the value of prospect research. 🎉

[@HaydenNightingale124]

[@theGECmedia]

If your non-profit organization does not have enough money for an entire year's expenses in the bank, our company can assist you through our fundraising strategies. Only serious Executive Directors/Presidents apply please!

[@tcooper5481]

I think if you cant give a lot and you have friends who do, nothing wrong with that some are good at getting others to donate who have money-I may not HAVE a lot of personal money but I have friends who love to give and if your giving from the heart, who cares what anyone else gave, this is the issue with philanthropy most of it is not from the heart its from the pockets to the Executive Directors- none of us take money- it all goes to aged out foster youth.

[@vitumbikongwira1022]

[@melkamunemesha3068]

first of all i want giving my thanks for God and the owners of the company those who have an interest to support local Church by some i am protestant but we are built a church but it remain unfinished and therefore we want a lots of money for finishing because we serving in dusty place so we need a little and if possible i will send you the images of the church Matt 7: 7

[@cash4urx]

No-longer is there a need to ask for peoples discretionary dollars on a repeat basis. Now you can support organizations based on the essential services you use every day. My company allows Non-Profit organizations to offer their supporters discounts on essential services they use every month and when they pay their bills we are offering a small residual commission every month for the life of the service. Are you wondering what I mean... ask me

[@soapboxholland]

What do you mean?

[@tayloemcdonald882]

Fundraising is a tackle sport for men? Ugh. How did you get on TED?

[@manastakalpati7918]

Tayloe McDonald ? When did it say for men? The slide says contact sport, and he put pictures of him playing football as a professional
