Every Donor Is Important and Every Gift Can Be Transformational
Fundraising — for better or worse — is a numbers game. And an overwhelming majority of the time, large gifts in a campaign make or break your success. They are essential.
But I still find every gift, every donor and every encounter special. Even inspiring. No matter how large or small.
I will never forget the experience. I was a college student interning in a congressional office in Washington, D.C.. It was an exciting time, and just being around power — even at the lowest level — could be addictive and exhilarating.
