When it comes to fundraising, not every cause garners the same level of support. Certain issues often miss out on essential funding due to their perceived unpopularity, controversy, or simply being deemed ‘unsexy’ by potential donors. For instance, while saving a panda may attract immediate attention, the cause of supporting ex-offenders typically struggles to generate the same enthusiasm.
