Close Family and Friends

DO THIS-

  1. Be Yourself: Talk to them like you always do. Make the message feel like 'you.'
  2. Show Your Excitement: Let them know you're totally stoked about this cause. Your enthusiasm is catchy!
  3. Tell Real Stories: Share about the people you're helping. Stories beat boring stats any day.
  4. Be Honest: Be clear on where their money's going. People like to know they're making a difference.
  5. Give Options: Make sure they know they can pitch in whatever feels right for them.
  6. Say Thanks: Always thank them for thinking it over, no matter what they decide.

DO NOT DO THIS-

  1. Don't Bug Them: No pressure. Let them decide without any arm-twisting.
  2. No Over-Sharing: They're family or friends, but keep it relevant. You don't need to spill all your beans.
  3. No Hard Feelings: If they say no, that's cool. Respect their call.
