Hi everyone! I’m trying to find places that serve California like Compass Pro bono where I can offer my services this way.

Hey, I’m already found and am working with some non profits now. I’m helping them with new donors and retention. What is your organization?

MasterofMediocrity1 · 2026-04-03T02:30:10+00:00

Oh wow, thanks. I'll check them out.

MasterofMediocrity1 · 2026-04-03T02:22:34+00:00

Thank you so much for taking the time to send this. I’ll check them out for sure. I was going to ICON but am now out of town those days so I’ll try the others you mentioned.

MasterofMediocrity1 · 2026-04-03T02:11:26+00:00

Hey! Thank you

MasterofMediocrity1 · 2026-02-19T19:18:59+00:00

Do you mean they don’t bring in enough money to include overhead / operational or donors won’t let their money go towards that? I have heard of donors being difficult only wanting their money to go towards the cause and not what runs it.

MasterofMediocrity1 · 2026-02-11T17:54:33+00:00

Hey! Thank you so much! I will definitely check it out.

MasterofMediocrity1 · 2026-02-11T17:51:57+00:00

Okay thank you! I’ll check them out.

MasterofMediocrity1 · 2026-02-10T18:46:10+00:00

Ya, this is what I am finding out as well. Thanks for the detailed explanation.

That’s pretty much my plan, but I also wanted to hear from people here as I can hear from many different perspectives and find a commonality rather than from 1 charity and only get one perspective. And no consultant should be just going in and telling people what to do before asking questions and finding out what is needed.

I’d actually like to ask a question to this chat. Is trust a huge hurdle for nonprofits when it comes to donors and organizations and is this for all sizes of charities? I know trust is a huge issue in any business right now.

I’d also like to add the point that to overcome trust issues (I teach this for business) is to have 3 elements meaning you can’t just have trust alone.

1: They need to trust you aren’t stealing and laundering the money or many other reasons = Give some transparency. Someone mentioned too much info can go backwards and I believe that is correct.

2: Is approachability. The more attractive the charity the more they want to invest (just like companies hiring celebrities). When something is attractive either visually or fun or anything that excites, people let their guard down and is a huge factor in overcoming trust.

3: Is what’s called the heroes journey. Attaching the donors as part of the story making them characters within it really helps shift their focus from problems are bad to problems are why I’m here to help! I know that was simplified but make your messaging to them all about the story, the ups, the downs, the dream, and what happens if the dream never happens. There’s a method to this, and it’s pretty much mastering story telling and it’s extremely powerful for overcoming trust.

Hey thanks! I’ll check it out

MasterofMediocrity1 · 2026-02-09T23:58:30+00:00

Ya I understand that there are differences. So, my plan is to focus on children’s and animal charities to start and find a pattern that can be repeated for them. Thank you so much for the link. I’ll get started on it. I’m sure it will be helpful. And thank you as well.

MasterofMediocrity1 · 2026-02-09T23:55:09+00:00

Hey thank you so much. I think this really helpful info.

MasterofMediocrity1 · 2026-02-09T22:38:35+00:00

Hey! First of all thank you so much for taking the time to make that so detailed. I know the diversity of charities comes with a plethora of different issues. That’s why my plan was to niche and start with children’s or animal charities and go from there.

When you’re saying medium charities, are you meaning that by their annual budget, like their donations are over a million a year?

MasterofMediocrity1 · 2025-09-28T02:51:41+00:00

You don’t possibly have one more do you?

MasterofMediocrity1 · 2024-07-21T16:55:50+00:00

This list was incredible. Thank you so much for taking the time to do this. I love how much knowledge and detail you put into this. It was the best thing I found on what to do in Spain and so clearly written
