What is our job as fundraising professionals? Relationship builders? Storytellers? Ambassadors? I love all three of these descriptors, and we use them often.
What confuses me is the myriad of titles and structures that we put in place that can serve as barriers in empowering donors to make a life-changing difference.
Looking for Jeff? You'll find him either on the lake, laughing with good friends, or helping nonprofits develop to their full potential.
Jeff believes that successful fundraising is built on a bedrock of relevant, consistent messaging; sound practices; the nurturing of relationships; and impeccable stewardship. And that organizations that adhere to those standards serve as beacons to others that aspire to them. The Bedrocks & Beacons blog will provide strategic information to help nonprofits be both.
Jeff has more than 25 years of nonprofit leadership experience and is a member of the NonProfit PRO Editorial Advisory Board.
