Funding a mission is hard.

Getting people to believe in it is harder.

In this episode of Crowdfunding Demystified, Salvador Briggman sits down with Matthew Paneitz of Long Way Home, a nonprofit that has transformed discarded materials into schools and community infrastructure in Guatemala.

You'll hear how Matthew went from a Peace Corps experience to building a global fundraising operation—and why persistence, storytelling, volunteer programs, and measurable impact can completely change your fundraising results.

In this episode, you'll learn:

  • How to get people behind your mission when you're starting with limited resources.

  • Why telling your story enthusiastically can make fundraising more effective.

  • How volunteer programs can create both impact and revenue.

  • Why documenting your work can become a powerful marketing tool.

  • How platforms like GlobalGiving can help build donor trust.

  • Why testing, failing, and adapting are essential to successful fundraising.

  • How measuring your impact can make your fundraising message stronger.
