Happy Tuesday, fundraisers!
March is here, and this week’s roundup is a bit of a reality check (in the best way). We’re looking at the small things that quietly make or break fundraising: stories that actually move people, surveys that don’t annoy your donors, and making sure your whole organization aligned around major gifts.
Plenty here to spark ideas as we head into spring!
