Things can get tough during an economic downturn. When it’s harder to raise money, often I see leaders projecting their financial difficulties onto their donors or assuming that every donor’s situation is the same. Just because you get feedback from a couple of donors that they are struggling doesn’t mean that every donor is struggling.

I have a few pointers to help you build the courage you need to ask during a recession:

Remembering the goal
Who to ask
How to kick fear out of the driver’s seat
The best research tool

It’s likely that your major donors are ready to step up in new ways because they know people are struggling. You just have to ask them.
