Let’s be real. We talk about more than this in today’s podcast, but we do really go through the nitty-gritty of leverage to the power of celebrity to fundraise for your nonprofit!
I know, I know. I’ve seen it all before. Starry eyes and a golden haze when a nonprofit drops a celebrities name. Why?
You know why. The celebrity can leverage a huge audience to get eyes on your nonprofit organization’s mission. But should this be your main aim? Should it be your only aim?
Like any type of funding partnership it is a partnership. There needs to be a win on both sides of the partnership. There needs to be strategy in forming a partnership.
