“Fundraising and Volunteer
Engagement are both all about
building relationships. In today’s
connected world, the lines are
blurring between donors and
volunteers, so why would you
put up an artificial wall that limits
your relationships? Instead, use
the ideas and strategies . . . to
empower and inspire potential
community members to provide
the help you need most, turning
donors into volunteers . . . into
donors.”
