I was a teacher and the only fundraising I did was soliciting my own parents for help with the cost of grad school on a teacher\u2019s salary!<\/p>\n<p>When I began working at FLOC, part of my job was to be a member of the fundraising team. Truth be told, I was terrified. When I thought about fundraising, all I could think of was hours of phone calls, knocking on people\u2019s doors, and generally \u201cbugging\u2019 people for money.<\/p>\n<p>Fast forward to today, and I see a very different picture. Fundraising is more about \u201cfriend raising\u201d at FLOC. It\u2019s about telling stories about the impact FLOC is having and then having people who genuinely want to give money, resources, or time do so.<\/p>\n<p>FLOC just held its 5th Annual Fundraising event, \u201cBeyond the Classroom: Redefining How Today\u2019s Kids Become Tomorrow\u2019s Leaders.\u201d Yes, it was a fundraiser, but it was also so much more than that. It was the gathering of nearly 200 caring partners, donors, parents, volunteers, and families that listened to stories of inspiration and success. It was about inspiring people to be their best selves in their own communities, but mostly it was about FLOC\u2019s kids. The event was truly inspirational, and I walked away more committed to FLOC\u2019s mission than ever before.<\/p>\n<p>Because of FLOC\u2019s approach to telling stories and rousing action, I continue to come to work every day knowing I\u2019m not going to have to convince people to donate money, but rather, just tell them what we\u2019re doing to make a difference. People will choose the ways they want to get involved, and we\u2019ll be there to make it happen.<\/p>\n<p>While many other nonprofits continue to take a different approach to fundraising, at FLOC we\u2019re content to continue in the tradition that Fred Taylor began more than 45 years ago. We\u2019ll continue to tell our story and know that people will continue to feel inspired and find a way to give back.<\/p>\n<p>To learn more about FLOC and our friendraising efforts \u2013 check out a FLOC 101 session!\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.floc.org\/get-involved\/floc-101\" rel=\"nofollow\">http:\/\/www.floc.org\/get-involved\/floc-101<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>(Ellie Haga is FLOC\u2019s Executive Assistant and Development Associate.)<\/p>\n<p>Before I started working at FLOC three years ago, I admit, fundraising was a foreign concept to me. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":5130,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[48,58],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v15.4 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>A Different Approach to Fundraising<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"noindex, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"A Different Approach to Fundraising\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"(Ellie Haga is FLOC\u2019s Executive Assistant and Development Associate.)
