Engage Conference Spotlight: The 10 Commandments for Optimizing Fundraising Success, Part 3

On April 10, FundRaising Success is hosting its second annual Engage Conference. Engage is the only case-study-focused fundraising conference focusing on the keys to success from organizations that have successfully made the leap from just-getting-by nonprofits to powerhouse organizations. Leading up to Engage, we will be highlighting content from the participating organizations and speakers that we've published over the years.

At the DMA Nonprofit Federation's 2011 New York Nonprofit Conference, veteran fundraising consultant Tom Gaffny provided 10 timeless keys to fundraising success that he's crafted over the past two decades during his session, "The 10 Commandments: 10 Ageless, Irrefutable, Non-Negotiable Keys to Optimizing Your Fundraising Success."

Here are commandments 7-10:

• Use all five basic human motivators
• People give to solve problems, not celebrate solutions
• Don't reinvent the world — the world's not sitting around waiting for you to reinvent it
• Direct mail still works
