I think you make some great points and agree to a certain extent. I think that smaller non- profit organizations will have to work harder to raise the same funds that they have in the past. The good news is that when the economy has an up turn. They will be sitting pretty with their new found Fundraising skills and new knowledge of recession proof fundraising. Regards, Mark South Great Blog Marc!

The best way to not get a gift is not to ask for it. I'd like to add #11 if I can. Realize that what you are doing is IMPORTANT, WORLD CHANGING work.

I never flatter. I only say what I think because there is too little appreciation out there in the world these days. I am sure I will be reading your site for ages. You can thank Guy Kawasaki because it was his Twitter about Fundraising on Alltop that led me to your blog and website. I think you will grow in followers because in this day and age, the compeition for donations is only going to become more difficult. You're right about value to the physicians. The hospital physician recruiters call every now and then to get more information about Wausau Whitewater. it is an attractor. Marc, As I’ve told Jason Alba, I naturally thank people who help me.

It's hard enough recruiting physicians to our hospital as it is, but if we didn't have those kinds of groups in town, we'd be sunk! Ah, Julie, you say the nicest things!!

Another amazing post and one I will print and keep handy. As I start the plan for Wausau Whitewater 2009, I will use these tips. When you are representing a recreation, arts, or other non-essential non-profit, you have to remain aware of the basic needs that will come first in the minds of many donors. But at the same time, as one corporate Sales Manager told me last week, the recreational, arts, and events type of organizations are the ones that drive people to visit and move to a community. They keep the economy going by creating interesting events, training, or just opportunities that people want to visit. Some corporate donors realize this, others have to be told through your story-telling tip of yesterday. Marc, you are now one of the blogs that I need to read as soon as it gets to me!
