So I surrounded myself with people who helped me along my journey…” - <strong>Sabrina Walker Hernandez</strong></p> <p>“One of my things is building relationships. I would not have been and still to this day would not be successful without people, like building those relationships are critical.” - <strong>Sabrina Walker Hernandez</strong></p> <p>“I had to change my mindset because what I valued thinking what I know about fundraising, I valued the ask. I wanted people to go out and ask. That's what I thought.” - <strong>Sabrina Walker Hernandez</strong></p> <p>“Going to conferences and professional development and learning more about fundraising, I finally figured out the secret sauce is relationships.” - <strong>Sabrina Walker Hernandez</strong></p> <p>“We lost some people. You have to be willing to lose some people and it's okay… Because, then, they're just not the right fit.” - <strong>Sabrina Walker Hernandez</strong></p> <p>“It's not necessarily using people because they are not asking for money. You have to educate them and explain what fundraising means to us.” - <strong>Sabrina Walker Hernandez</strong></p> <p>“And it's the cultivation, it’s the stewardship and all of that… What role will you be willing to participate in this process, removing that fear of asking for money?” - <strong>Sabrina Walker Hernandez</strong></p> <p><br></p> <p><strong>TIME STAMPS</strong></p> <p>TOPIC: The Story Behind Hitting the Million Dollars and Embarking on a Capital Campaign</p> <p>08:45 - 11:30</p> <p><br></p> <p>To know more about Sabrina’s Supporting World Hope: <a href="https://supportingworldhope.com/"><u>https://supportingworldhope.com/</u></a></p> <p>To connect with Sabrina: <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/sabrinawalkerhernandez/"><u>https://www.linkedin.com/in/sabrinawalkerhernandez/</u></a></p> <p>Resources and Websites Mentioned in the Podcast:</p> <p>Boys & Girls Clubs of Edinburg RGV - <a href="https://edinburgkids.com/"><u>https://edinburgkids.com/</u></a></p> <p>Supporting World Hope - <a href="https://supportingworldhope.com/"><u>https://supportingworldhope.com/</u></a></p> --- Support this podcast: <a href="https://anchor.fm/nonprofitlowdown/support" rel="payment">https://anchor.fm/nonprofitlowdown/support</a>
