What Running Taught Me About Fundraising

Last week, I hit the road for a long run as part of my half-marathon training. Things started great—crisp air, good playlist, feeling unstoppable.

Then, two miles in, my feet started screaming.

By the time I hobbled back home, I discovered the culprit: brand-new running shoes… in the wrong size. Classic rookie mistake.

It hit me—this is exactly what nonprofits face when their strategies don’t fit.

You pour your heart into fundraising, working overtime to engage donors, but if your tools or approach aren’t the right fit, you’re stuck. Blisters, frustration, and burnout.
