Check Out the November Issue of FS!

In September, we featured the winners of our Gold Awards for Fundraising Excellence. In this month's cover story, "SOFII’s Choice(s)," we take a look at some international efforts that have been deemed outstanding by the Showcase of Fundraising Innovation and Inspiration.

Also,

• To the Point columnist Katya Andresen explains the major shifts to happen in the marketing milieu in 2010 and what they mean to fundraisers.
• Easier Said Than Done columnist Jeff Brooks looks at fundraising and the case of the backward brain.
• DM Diagnosis writer Kimberly Seville says you're wasting a great opportunity to connect if you fail to capitalize on your letter signer's distinct voice or persona. That is, of course, if he or she has one.
