Looking Out for the Little Guy

FundRaising Success: Tell us a little bit about your organization.
Susan Wyant: We serve as sort of an incubator for these groups; many of them don’t have a full-time fundraising staff, or any fundraising staff, or even a way to get their stories out. So, what we do is serve as their fundraiser. We raise awareness and funds for them. We put together a catalog every three years, and we feature 10 organizations every three years. [Each] one is featured on a different page, and a compelling story is told about them; [we include] wonderful photos and an opportunity for the donor to give. We give them sustained support, and then at the end of three years we’re hoping that they’re self-sufficient enough [so] that we [can] go out and find 10 new ones.
