Welcome to the Major Donors Collection

This session is a journey from anger to hope. It’s a (short) rant about the state of the world followed by some practical advice for continuing a successful fundraising practice, despite the challenges in the world around us. It’s for tired fundraisers, who still have the spark of a flame inside them and want to do the best they can with what they have.

Does more volume to mail mean more income? Not necessarily. Similarly, less can equal more.
