Fundraising for Mobile Clinics with Marcy Heim
Why Attend?
You already know how to care for people. What no one trained you to do is fund that care once the startup energy fades. Many mobile healthcare programs begin with vision, a vehicle, and a small group of believers — then face the hardest moment: patients depend on you, but funding is uncertain.
Whether you are launching a mobile clinic, expanding services, hiring staff, or simply trying to keep showing up next year, you will leave with a practical plan and baby steps to take immediately.
What You Will Learn
Mindset for Giving Success
- How to talk about funding without feeling uncomfortable or “salesy”
- The difference between asking for money and inviting participation in care
- Why healthcare leaders are often the most trusted voice for generosity
Finding Support
- Identifying the people already closest to your mission
- Recognizing everyday moments that naturally lead to giving conversations
- Joyfully sharing even small success to inspire ongoing support
The Artful Ask
- Writing and delivering a clear, simple 3-sentence ask to ask for anything
- How to respond when someone asks, “How can I help?”
Building Sustainable Funding
- How smaller gifts and larger gifts work together
- Creating meaningful giving opportunities tied to real care outcomes
- Engaging board members, partners, and volunteers as ambassadors
- Appropriate follow-up that builds lasting relationships
Your Take-Home Plan
- A completed Relationship Action Plan for a real supporter
- Specific next steps to implement immediately
- Confidence to lead funding conversations with clarity and purpose
