Sometimes we know what we want to do to help our child leave a legacy, but we don’t know how to get started with raising money to support that cause.

Professional fund raiser, Mary Valloni, and host, Laura Diehl, continue their talk from last week, and Mary shares some thoughts and encouragement in this area.

Two things discussed are:

  • It’s important to have clarity so you don’t push people away who are confused by your cause.
  • How it can help to have a “why” that goes even beyond leaving your child a legacy.

Mary Valloni is an author and a fundraising coach, consultant and speaker. She is known for her track record of successfully teaching individuals and nonprofit organizations how to dramatically improve their finances. She has raised millions of dollars for organizations like the American Cancer Society, the ALS Association, and Special Olympics. Her award-winning book, Fundraising Freedom, has effectively shifted the way individuals and organizations look at fundraising and finances, allowing them the freedom to focus on what really matters. Mary lives in St. Louis, Missouri with her husband and their two Dalmatians.
