Mobilize resources beyond just fundraising, involving community participation and in-kind gifts.\nDare to dream big and commit to audacious visions, like ending hunger or eliminating the need for certain organizations. \nFocus on creating positive goals, like everyone having a home and kids being loved, supported, and safe, rather than just \"ending homelessness\" or \"keeping kids off the streets.\"\nSupport communities and follow their lead. Mobilize resources towards creating long-term solutions and audacious goals, instead of temporarily alleviating symptoms and perpetuating ongoing problems.\n\n\n\n“We forget the fire because we feel like we have to compromise ourselves or a bold vision in order to get people to invest.”\n\n\n\n“We have all the resources we need to solve a problem. It's just a matter of mobilizing them. we have everything if we're willing to step out and make that commitment and to stay in it”\n\n\n\n“As long as we're collectively encouraging people to focus on what's broken, things will continue to be broken. But if we're collectively enrolling them in a vision of what we're going to build, that's creating what's right, what's just, what's fair, what's equitable, what's inclusive, what's peaceful.” \n\n- Maryanne Dersch\n\n\n\n\n\nAsk for and receive all you want, need, and deserve without feeling rejected, ineffective, or pushy.
