A Look Back — and Forward

Dane Grams, director of direct response and monthly giving, Human Rights Campaign
It was a weird time in the world: We were still recovering from 9/11, the U.S. declared war on Iraq. Despite this, it was a relatively good time for fundraising — particularly at Human Rights Campaign. We had just completed a multimillion capital campaign and moved into our new headquarters. Maybe I should credit that to George W. Bush and his giant tax cut. Nah, I credit the hard work of a lot of great fundraisers.
