Looking for Inspiration in All the Wrong Places

Check out the present
You can't always get to a project location (trust me, I could hardly run to Bangladesh anytime I needed to be re-inspired), but maybe you can somewhat replicate that experience while sitting at your desk.

First, put away the budget reports and statistical reporting from your program sites. They are full of great information but might not inspire a fundraiser to greatness. Instead, call someone (or Skype, chat on Facebook, however you want to connect) who is working at the program level and ask what really has her excited right now. Push for details. What does the student like to eat for lunch? When the bear cub was reunited with its mother, what was the reunion like? How did the program person feel right then? What flowers are blooming in the prairie that is being restored?
