## Resource

Is there a wealthy donor you’ve been meaning to reach out to… but haven’t? If so, you’re not alone — and you’re not lazy. In this episode of Huddle Up with Mark The Fund Coach, we unpack the real reason so many nonprofit leaders procrastinate when it comes to high-capacity donors. It’s rarely about strategy. More often, it’s fear — fear of rejection, fear of feeling small, fear of getting it wrong. We’ll explore why wealthy donors can feel intimidating, how avoidance quietly undermines your confidence, and what it takes to shift from hesitation to steady, relational leadership.Tune in, and let’s huddle up!
