Let's face it you know you need to ask people for money. What you really need is just a little kick to get you started. That's what Fundraising Kick is all about. Fundraising Kick is dedicated to getting you out asking people for money. Each week, I give you creative ideas and simple actions, actions to help you raise more money this year than you could imagine. I often even include the exact wording for notes or scripts for phone calls! You can do it. All you need is a little Kick.
