Our current organization is not our future organization.

When we go to funders we are presenting our future organization and our unrealized potential.

Funders appreciate the opportunity to invest in your future. They consider…
☑️ the magnitude of the problem that together you could tackle;
☑️ the scale and scope of their investment relative to this problem;
☑️ your empathy and your ability to design with those you are serving;
☑️ how your past track record is a window into your potential success;
☑️ your confidence about the significance of your future work;
☑️Your humility and understanding that what you are trying to do may not work.

❓Now you: Do you think about your future self when you put yourself out there?
