Last Look: An Interview With David Duncan, Director of Membership and Development, Civil War Preservation Trust

FS: Any major difficulties or setbacks you’ve faced along the way? Things you would do differently with your fundraising?
DD: We have never “cracked the code” for truly effective foundation or corporate fundraising. Also, again, still looking for that eight-figure, game-changing donor. If we had the resources, I would hire more people who could do one-on-one visits with donors. Those visits cement relationships and always produce good long-term results.
