Raising funds in a community composed of diverse cultures can have it’s own special rewards and challenges. It takes a great deal of sensitive listening. If you are trying to expand your fundraising approach to a broad audience you will need to take time to consider what you know about others and what you need to learn. Here are some approaches that may assist or prevent your program from raising monies in diverse communities As with all communities, these are generally accepted assumptions that may not hold true for all minority communities.
You gotta have trust first to involve anyone and especially diverse communities. Trust is the number one success factor according to a study conducted by The Amherst H. Wilder Foundation. The study indicates that to build meaningful relationships with diverse communities “trust” is the first imperative above 19 other important success factors in building partners for social change. Click here to download a chart created from the Wilder Foundation’s research. Pass around copies of the chart and ask your Leadership Volunteers to choose which is the number one factor for building partners, then brainstorm actions for building trust within a specific minority community. Expect a robust conversation! The Five I’s and How They Deepen Relationships and Results Trust is paramount to building relationship that leads to the natural inclination of people to want to get involved and invested in your program. The Five “I’s” model shown below can help you both build trust and investment in minority communities. It is a helpful tool for leaders in the social profit sector who wish to expand relationships with individuals in diverse communities. Click here to access worksheets to apply The Five I’s in your work with diverse communities. You will also find true life examples of how two social profit initiatives built investment in their respective missions. A Resource sheet is also available in the same download.
