Fundraising Tips -- Shaking the Money Tree for MS

- Be accountable - personally and for your cause.
- Be honest.
- Speak with conviction for your cause.
- If you can't ask, find someone who can.
- A prospect is simply a donor without motivation. Your job is to provide the motivation.
- A donor is a fundraiser who has yet to share their conviction with a friend. Ask them to do that.
- A good fundraiser, then, is a friendly motivator. It's that simple.
- A good fundraiser has a thick skin, a soft heart, exceptional hearing, a quick mind, a slow tounge, and no shame - at least when it comes to asking for a gift!
