Quotes:
“The book overall really focuses on major gift engagement – major gift engagement for professionals and volunteers.”
“You have to educate your executives, you need to educate your board, you yourself perhaps as an executive director or significant volunteer or having the fundraising responsibility – you have to be educated.”
“It’s very rare that there’s some kind of shortcut where a gift mystically magically appears at our doorstep that can change the course of our organization.”
