Right From the Headlines: Your Fundraising To-Do List

Early morning ... struggling to wake up ... half-listening to the news when something is reported that tells me my entire day is changed. Time to toss out the old to-do list and start over. Ever had that experience?

Yet some news we read or hear seems far removed from our jobs as fundraisers — but is that true? There are headlines that may not seem relevant, but they need to stir you to action so you can make sure your nonprofit avoids being the headline story next month or next year.
