Tips from Top Fundaisers
“Don’t be scared and don’t limit yourself. I was blown away by how generous friends, family, and colleagues were when I started fundraising.”
- Jeff Duckworth, John Hancock
“Fundraising is personal. When you share your story—why you’re supporting the mission and how the donations help—it often inspires others to share their own stories and get involved. Just ask, and don’t be afraid to ask again.”
- Christine Chigounis, Bank of America Merrill Lynch
“Allspring's main approach is to generate excitement and to get as many people as possible involved. If everyone contributes a little bit—miles and dollars—it really adds up.”
- Kevin Johnson, Allspring Global Investments
