Introducing the “Four Selfs” of Engagement Fundraising
The Four Selfs
Quotes:
“Things that the sector believed just were not true, especially from a donor’s perspective, but also from a technology perspective.”
“Engagement fundraising really focuses first and foremost on the consideration process that the donor goes through.”
“It’s not about moving donors, and it shouldn’t be, but that’s what people think. The key to success is to provide value in a way that helps donors move themselves forward in the giving consideration process.”
