Meet Our Award Winners: David Ludwigson

Keys to success (in fundraising): Communicate. With donors, staff, volunteers, clients, all stakeholders. We work hard to get people excited about what we are trying to accomplish. Don't view communication as a drag on our "work" — it is central to our work.

Set high goals. Ask people to "stretch."

Be organized. We are all trying to accomplish so much. In order to provide leadership and good direction/instruction to staff, keeping organized is critical.
