Description

What's the most expensive thing a nonprofit can do? Ask for too little. This week on Leadership Lowdown, Neal Sneller, Executive Director of Meals on Wheels of Prescott, talks about why fear around big funding requests costs organizations more than rejection ever would. He's learned to tell the story clearly, trust the community's generosity, and ask for what's actually needed. Bold, but not reckless. If you lead an organization that depends on support from others, this conversation is the push you didn't know you needed. Hosted by Jodi Low and powered by BBB and U & Improved, Leadership Lowdown brings you authentic stories of leaders who lead with trust and heart. New episodes every Thursday at 6:00 a.m. ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy [https://acast.com/privacy] for more information.
