Clarity Beats Hype

Whether it's donors, grants, or investors—clarity is the pitch people remember and repeat.

Fundraising gets weird when you treat it like persuasion. It works better when you treat it like translation: you're translating your work into outcomes someone else can fund.


Before you ask for money

  • A one-sentence mission
  • A believable 90-day plan
  • Evidence you can execute (even small)

Tip: If you can't explain the plan in 60 seconds, it's not ready.

People don't fund vibes. They fund momentum.

  • One sentence mission
  • One 90-day plan
  • One measurable outcome
  • One clear ask

Common mistakes

  • Hype without evidence
  • Big budgets with vague milestones
  • Asking strangers without a warm intro
