Stealing your way to your fundraising goals.

The only theft we discuss in this episode of the Fundraising @ Camp podcast is stealing ideas from other organization’s letters. Join Heather, Joe, and Travis as they each share some of the best and worst from the ask letters they have received personally. Remember last week when they told you to donate $5 to several organizations? After listening to this episode, you will be ready to look for the good, the bad, and the ineffective when it comes to fundraising ask letters.

Get your pencil, paper, calendars, and fundraising software ready, because Fundraising @ Camp is BACK!
