Fundraiser Education

For the last two years, I’ve been studying the impact of identity on prosocial behavior; it’s the topic of my doctoral dissertation.

It starts with the best of intentions. Your organization is focused on helping others — some in serious need.

“The Surprising Gift of Doubt” is a book that’s not just about nonprofit leadership.

The only way to get things done is to take control of the situation and move forward. Success may be incremental.

We all want transformational gifts while continuing the transactional approach with certain market segments.

We live in an age where people measure themselves against how “busy” they are.

It takes a combination of many special attributes to be a successful fundraiser.
