Know Your Donor. Know Your Donor. Know Your Donor.
What a wonderful thing. What a humbling event. What a miracle that we can actually be part of something so precious and special. I am truly amazed every time this happens. And whether the gift is a million dollars or just 10, it is still a very sacred and extraordinary moment. This is why:
- One human being opens his heart and hand to place his love and care into the hands of another person (the major-gifts officer) whom he has come to trust and believe in.
- That love and care is then channeled to people in need.
- The people in need are blessed and lifted up.
- And something magical and mystical has happened to everyone involved.
My goodness! Can this get any better? FS
If you’re hanging with Richard it won’t be long before you’ll be laughing.
He always finds something funny in everything. But when the conversation is about people, their money and giving, you’ll find a deeply caring counselor who helps donors fulfill their passions and interests. Richard believes that successful major-gift fundraising is not fundamentally about securing revenue for good causes. Instead it is about helping donors express who they are through their giving. The Connections blog will provide practical information on how to do this successfully. Richard has more than 30 years of nonprofit leadership and fundraising experience, and is founding partner of the Veritus Group.
