A bit of encouragement for you today…
Do you want to change the world?
A direct response Fundraiser can change the world just by sending out an email.
By doing something almost everybody does – sending an email, of all things – a Fundraiser can change the world by raising money.
A donor’s money that was going to do something is now doing your thing. Your organization is now going to do more. And your donor loved giving the gift.
Email sent. World changed.
Food for thought: how many people do you think have the skill to send emails – to people they’ve never even met – and have some of those people reply with large amounts of money?
Not very many.
Develop your skills to raise money, in email or direct mail or telemarketing or radio, and you can have a meaningful job for the rest of your life.
People and organizations will value your ability to change the world. They will value your ability to take all the things your nonprofit does and create fundraising that makes your donor want to take action now.
Because while a lot of fundraising just makes a point, you’ll create fundraising that makes a difference.
That sounds like changing the world to me.
