The Messy Middle of Support Raising: How to Keep Going When It's Hard

We all know the year-end giving season can be a very, very fruitful season... but it can also feel daunting and discouraging. Support raising has a shape. You get really excited in the beginning, really amped up... then you start to walk into what we call the messy middle. The easy yeses are gone, the calls stop getting returned, and the total sits at the same number for weeks. We recorded a short video for you as you step into this season, along with a few practical encouragements: 2:23 - Track the asks, not the dollars. 5:13 - Silence isn't a no... the funding is in the follow-up. 8:51 - The enemy would love to pick you off. 11:23 - You're a minister first.
