Thanks to my boys for reminding me to keep pushing even when it can be a grind. There are so many life lessons watching our own kids doing things, that us adults can learn from. #Truth

Believe me if you want . . . Don't believe me if you want . . . Capital Campaign Fact - Raising the money for a building is the easy part. It's the continued support for operations of the building which is the hard part. Solution - BE PREPARED!!! Have a pro forma budget ready, based on sincere and evidence based assumptions and due diligence. Far too often organizations want to rush through this process, in hopes of making things sound easy, only to run into trouble years later. #Fundraising #TrustMe #CapitalCampaign #Nonprofit
