Is Nonprofit Fundraising Underdeveloped?
I am a student of the nonprofit profession. I constantly attempt to practice and teach ways to enhance the nonprofit universe. I continue to work my day job while assisting other organizations with their needs. People that know me contact me on a regular basis with questions on how to improve productivity in their shops. I have given away millions of dollars of free advice and will continue this activity. All of us do the same thing all the time. It is in our blood and nature to attempt to better understand how we do what we do.
