AFP include FRC's comments in Fundraising Tips in a Troubled Economy

Today the Association of Fundraising Professionals published a terrific article "Fundraising Tips: Do’s and Dont's in a Troubled Economy."

Here's a quote from the AFP article, by Matthew Haag, senior director of major gifts and regional programs at the University of Rochester:

“...don’t stop communicating. Now is an opportunity to show that you are interested in them beyond the financial, because you know some just don’t have it to give right now. Don’t lose sight of the long-term relationship you are building.”

And they included comments from my "Recession-proof Fundraising" article.

Be sure to read the entire "Fundraising Tips: Do’s and Dont's in a Troubled Economy" for some great reminders about how to fundraise even in these unstable times.

Ask Without Fear! LIVE on 92Moose this morning

It was an honor to be on the 92Moose morning show today. We talked about the Ask Without Fear! LIVE fundraising seminar I'm doing this Saturday in Waterville, ME.

REGISTER NOW for "Ask Without Fear!" LIVE fundraising training on 9/13

I'm thrilled to announce a brand new fundraising seminar: Ask Without Fear! LIVE!

There's still time to register for this full day fundraising seminar that will be held in Waterville, ME on Saturday, September 13. Why a Saturday? Because the most important people--our board members and volunteers--work day jobs. It's easier to get volunteers and boards to a Saturday event!

The Ask Without Fear! book is intentionally slim. This week's full-day seminar expands on each of the "Get R.E.A.L." steps, gives remarkably practical ideas for fundraising, and makes them approachable for nonprofit staff and boards of trustees or volunteers.

We're going to have a blast. And, we're going to do it at a bargain. This type of full day training normally costs $500 or $600. It's certainly worth it! These tools will help you raise far more than that.

But for this seminar is being offered for only $127, including breakfast and lunch.

For all the details, including a list of some of the things you'll learn, go to: http://fundraisingcoach.com/awf-LIVE/.

Hurry, space is limited! Register today!
