Little Dogs ... Big Tricks
Fundraising with a tiny staff or budget might seem daunting, but smaller nonprofits can be real powerhouses when 
it comes to raising money.
But hey, don't just take my word for it. A good friend of mine who has been working as a development professional for more than 40 years and has helped countless organizations raise many, many millions of dollars loves to share his own story about this.
At his first job in the development department of a college, his boss encouraged him to write the fundraising appeals for the school. But my friend knew enough to know what he didn't know. So he sought a good fundraising copywriter and hired him.
