  1. -Reframe the ask
    -Build relationships – understand what they care about and ask donor questions about their life – 75% listening 25% talking
    -“would you consider?… the need”
    – we have to be as committed to funding our work as we are to executing our work

  2. We could really use your help with this extraordinary project:
    Anyone needing help rebuilding after a disaster (or for any other needs) can create their C’8 profile and Aid Needed post(s) here http://www.c8coordinate.com (work in progress) and those wanting to help can create their C’8 Aid Offer posts for direct donations as well.

    What #AidCoordinationPlatform do you use and is it free, available to all, 100% transparent and purely altruistic? Is it an efficient and effective force-multiplier like C’8?

    Introducing C’8 – Coordinate, a purely altruistic, free and available to all international disaster (and other) aid coordination platform that unites all aid givers with all disaster victims and communities in need as well as with aid materials suppliers and the rest of the world that might be moved to give aid in some way from a distance.

    Where Facebook is social, LinkedIn is business, etc, C’8 is one purely altruistic unified platform for aid coordination.

    With C’8 you could help any person to create their C’8 profile and post(s) of their needs and you could then endorse their post as well as someone with personal knowledge of this person’s need for example.

    I/we invite you to begin to use C’8 to help those at the top of your list of people you’d like to see receive aid/more aid.
