Fundraising secrets aren’t so secret

I am fond of saying that “fundraising is an extreme sport.” Like great athletes, fundraisers need to focus on the basics.

At Blog World Expo last November I got to do a live interview with Susan McLennan about those basics, treating people with respect, and an easy way to do a “thankathon.”

Watch the entire interview here:

Donors are the cord; nonprofits are the outlet. Love it! Gives me a new way to think about finding the right auction donor, too.
