Sector Report: Fundraising 2009-2010

Alexander "Sandy" Macnab, president, Alexander Macnab & Co.
Clients that are focused on gifts from individuals are cautiously optimistic about giving through the end of [2009] and are looking for modest improvement in 2010 because their donors report that they feel things are getting better. There are exceptions. One campaign that initially expected a lot of support from real-estate developers and builders is stalled. However, by reaching out to the area's farm community, it is attracting support from new sources and constituencies.
