We caught up with some of the speakers at the DMA Nonprofit Federation 2009 New York Conference last week, and they were kind enough to share some of their best tips on camera.

Then Craig Finstad, assistant vice president of direct-response operations for the American Lung Association, discusses the power of premiums.

And Meta Brophy, director of publishing operations for Consumers Union, publishers of Consumer Reports, shares tips for how organizations can "green" their fundraising operations.
