Whattaya Know?

Things are constantly changing. A new scythe starts to swing over the fundraising sector every day. If you aren’t keenly aware of it and don’t know enough about the mechanism to artfully dodge its blade, your organization is going to get its wings clipped.

There are myriad sources of information to help keep you abreast of pending changes, but don’t count on any single one. Seek out and suck up every piece of data you can find. Chew on it, talk it over with your colleagues. Do anything you need to do to stay current — and active. Stick close to your industry organizations and follow their lead when it comes to letting politicos and other rule makers know how you feel about proposals that affect the industry.
