New and small nonprofits are doing powerful work in communities, often with little to no budgets. Getting your first donations can be challenging when you feel like you have little visibility or support.
That’s where peer-to-peer fundraising comes in.
My guest this week is Tiffany Allen. Tiffany is the CEO of Boss on a Budget, a small firm that teaches communities to form strong nonprofits and obtain funding. Her passion is working with Black-led nonprofits and other new nonprofits, teaching them to use their skills and talents to get funding.
In this episode, we discuss:
- How brand new nonprofits can go from zero donors to raising the funds to make change and create impact;
- How to raise startup funds for your nonprofit;
- How to design a own peer-to-peer campaign;
- How to pick technology to use as a small nonprofit;
- How to motivate volunteers to help raise more money.
About Tiffany Allen
Since 2016, Tiffany has worked with startup nonprofit founders teaching them how to start nonprofit organizations from the ground up. She is a social worker by trade and over the past 15 years has worked with national foundations, government agencies, and nonprofit organizations to improve their services while listening to the voice of those impacted by their work. Tiffany has helped thousands launch or fundraise for their nonprofits.
Tiffany speaks to funders and donors on the importance of community-based investing with smaller, grassroots organizations that don’t have a strong infrastructure, but have powerful missions and impact.
Tiffany’s goal is to lift up the voice of the nonprofit founders who often go unseen but are making change in their communities every single day, often with little support and no money.
