How to get over dislike of asking for donations - Ep3
Guest: Michael Mountain, one of the founders and a former president of Best Friends Animal Society and its sanctuary in Southern Utah for abused and abandoned animals. Michael is also co-founder of the Whale Sanctuary Project.
Main question: \u201cI hate fundraising. Asking people for donations, even in writing, does not come naturally to me at all. Any advice for how I can get over this? And any specific tips for how to communicate with people so they will become interested in supporting what we are doing?\u201d
