Land of the Noonday Moon. Land of Milk and Honey.

On Fundraising: The Future of Fundraising is Local.
http://onfundraising.blogspot.com/2013/07/the-future-of-fundraising-is-local.html

These are the working poor, the sick and the elderly. As the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan wind down, we will see more soldiers and their families in need. More of the money goes to the cause. Some national fundraising companies can take as much as 80% of what they raise. No one knows local issues like local people. As a na...

On Fundraising: February 2008
http://onfundraising.blogspot.com/2008_02_01_archive.html
Wednesday, February 13, 2008. Now and then I hit a wall with my calling. That's when its time to hit the bookstore. Two of my recent purchases are: "The 7 Seven Triggers To Yes" (The New Science Behind Influencing People's Decisions),by Russell H. Granger, and Perfect Phrases For The Sales Call" by William T. Brooks. So how does a Fundraiser build rapport in the first ten seconds of a call and secure a donation by the third minute? Here are my thoughts.
