We Are Audacious Askers
Have you ever caught yourself saying,
“I don’t want to deal with this money stuff? I’m just not a money person”?
Well, I’m here to debunk that myth!
Let's face it - to make a significant impact, we MUST become 'money people.' We must dream big, ask for what we deserve, and secure the funds to transform our nonprofits into powerhouses of change.
​
Audacious Askers reshapes our thinking around money, reminding us that asking for the funds we need—and deserve—isn't just possible but essential for our nonprofit's growth.
You Don't Have to be Audacious
Alone
Audacious Askers is not just a movement -
It's a paradigm shift. It's about stepping out of your comfort zone, daring to ask for more, and believing in the value of your cause.
​
And guess what?
​
You're not alone on this journey.
​
Curtis-Carr Consulting spearheads this movement, guiding you to ask for the resources your nonprofit deserves.
We're here to provide you with the tools, the confidence, and the audacity to ask - and receive.

The Audacious Askers Manifesto:
Money Can Buy Happiness...
When Channeled Toward
Lasting Impact
We often hear the adage, "Money can't buy happiness." But what if we were to reframe this concept?
In our mission-driven world, money could indeed buy happiness – not in a materialistic sense, but to enact positive change that improves lives.
The Power of Financial Stability
Financial stability isn't just about keeping the lights on; it's the solid ground on which we build our dreams. It's the springboard for every transformative project and every life-changing initiative.
​
Research from the University of Arkansas underscores this, stating that the financial stability of nonprofits is the most crucial key to achieving success1. In other words, money is not just a resource; it's the lifeblood that fuels our mission, propels our initiatives, and enables us to create meaningful societal change.
The Magic of Growth and Innovation
When nonprofits are financially healthy, they become hotbeds of innovation. They can take risks, invest in new programs, and scale successful initiatives. All this leads to serving their communities better. A study found that revenue diversification leads to more excellent stability in nonprofit organizations, reducing financial risks and increasing organizational stability.​
Invest in Happiness: Your Next Bold Move
Let's flip the script. Let's see money as a tool for buying happiness – the happiness of those we serve, the joy born out of societal transformation, and the satisfaction from realizing our mission.
Investing in your organization's financial stability is not just a smart move; it's an AUDACIOUS one.
