As a seasoned fundraiser, there are certain lines I have learned never to cross. From never assuming someone's capacity to give to steadfastly protecting donor confidentiality, my journey has taught me the do's and don'ts that ensure our nonprofits not only thrive but also maintain integrity. Beyond these, here are three more cardinal rules I live by: 🚫 Overlook the power of a personal thank you - Recognition goes a long way. 🚫 Become complacent with your strategies - Innovation is key to keeping your mission relevant. 🚫 Work in silos - Collaboration magnifies impact. In a realm where trust and transparency are as crucial as the funds we raise, let's commit to practices that honor our donors, mission, and integrity.
