Description


Success quote: “Enthusiasm is so important. Prospects are persuaded more by the depth of your conviction than the height of your logic. They are won more by your own enthusiasm than any documentation you can offer." - Jerold Panas, Born to Raise: What Makes a Great Fundraiser; What Makes a Fundraiser Great

Best piece of advice ever received: “Focus on your top line and what you are doing to stay focused on bringing in additional revenue.”

Personal habit that contributes to success: Maintaining and reviewing lists and handwritten thank you notes.

Internet resource: Blue Avacado

Book recommendation: Give and Take: Why Helping Others Drives Our Success by Adam Grant

Parting piece of advice:  Don't be afraid of going by your gut.

Futures in Fundraising is a new, interview-based podcast that focuses on careers in fundraising and development. Futures in Fundraising consists of interviews with leading and emerging fundraising, development and nonprofit professionals. While focusing on the interviewee’s fundraising journey – their experience in the field, tough situations, lessons learned and their “Ah-ha!” moments, as well as advice for those seeking to advance their careers in fundraising – we hope to bring new inspiration and light to unique, as well as typical, situations that fundraisers face. Each episode is approximately 25-30 minutes in length…just long enough for a commute to work, a walk with the dog or a half-hour workout! Futures in Fundraising is available for download for FREE on iTunes and through the Futures in Fundraising website. New episodes released monthly! So JOIN US and prepare for YOUR future in fundraising!
