Publisher Description: The theme of this book will be around life as a fundraiser. Fundraising is not a bad word. It's what I do. And I can honestly say, it is a pretty noble profession. It wasn't always a profession - many people "fell" into fundraising - they started their careers in something very different.My goal is to share some of the stories from the fundraising world. I will document some of the things I have learned from "being in the trenches". Being in the trenches, you ask? Am I dramatic?Nope.There are usually only three occasions where one would use the word campaign:1.Fundraising2.Politics3.War (hence the reference to trenches)I do hope you enjoy the book and my lessons learned. In some instances, I have given a "Second Thought" to the original article, particularly in light of this COVID-19 pandemic and the consequences that charities are feeling. I may not have all of the answers, but I try to tell it like it is. I am so proud to call myself a fundraiser.L'chaim (to life ) |
