If our annual review asks us about how much money we raised rather than how we were able to move the organization toward its annual goals, we’ll focus on getting cash in the short term over exploring working with other groups or organizations. This can be one of the roots of donor fatigue. Whenever we share a problem with donors, we seem to think the only solution is money.
