(Beginning with this post, Jeff Schreifels and I are going to be writing about major-gifts fundraising — what works, what doesn't. We're going to cover some basic topics, you might say no-brainers, that hardly anyone actually pays attention to. And then there will be those topics that few want to talk about publicly but that rattle around every major-gifts shop in the world. So stay tuned in for a fun and informative ride. Look for a fresh Connections blog post every Monday, and write to us about what you would like us to cover. We'd be happy to look at it.)

If you’re hanging with Richard it won’t be long before you’ll be laughing.
He always finds something funny in everything. But when the conversation is about people, their money and giving, you’ll find a deeply caring counselor who helps donors fulfill their passions and interests. Richard believes that successful major-gift fundraising is not fundamentally about securing revenue for good causes. Instead it is about helping donors express who they are through their giving. The Connections blog will provide practical information on how to do this successfully. Richard has more than 30 years of nonprofit leadership and fundraising experience, and is founding partner of the Veritus Group.
