Whether you are in the private sector, federal, state or local government we, the non-profit community of ABC region thank you in advance for your support.<BR/><BR/>For the non-profit community it will help even out cashflow issues, and the only way such a message will get on the air is if it is for the entire sector, not just an individual non-profit.<BR/><BR/>Bill Huddleston<BR/>CFC Expert<BR/>Fairfax, VirginiaBill Huddlestonwww.cfcfundraising.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32407867.post-38259457485484742662008-04-14T13:29:00.000-05:002008-04-14T13:29:00.000-05:00Goodness Todd. . .You're feeling a little cranky today. The key is collaboration, collaboration, collaboration. Not fake partnerships and I-got-mine philanthropy. As long as the fundraising PROFESSION uses terms like target (what are donors--deer?)and adopt the practices of for profit salespeople, we are doomed to a competitive cycle that values the annual fund over solutions to cultural conditions.Margot H.
