21 Days of Fundraising Affirmations Challenge
Fundraising moves fast, and it can feel like there is never a slow time. That’s why we created 21 Days of Fundraising Affirmations: a short, steady series offering daily encouragement and practical reminders to help fundraisers stay grounded, confident, and connected to their work.
If you’ve been following along on Instagram and LinkedIn, you’ve seen how small mindset shifts can make a real difference. If you’re just joining us, you can explore the full series anytime.
Visit our 21 Days of Fundraising Affirmations page to revisit the affirmations, share them with your team, or return to them whenever you need a reset.
Spark Point Hacks – The “Un-Official” Edition
| Fundraising is serious business… but we’re not afraid to have some fun. Here are three of our favorite lighthearted Spark Point hacks: |
- Rename your grants calendar to something dramatic like The Quest for Gold—it makes every deadline feel epic.
- Set donor call reminders in your phone… but label them like an away message. (“brb, getting $$$”)
- Keep a “Fundraising Hype” playlist. One of our team members swears by starting every prospect research session with Beyoncé.
