Ask for constituents' Twitter handles and then use them, showing you want to engage with them: @rosjernberg #afpcongressby Jessie Harding via twitter 11/19/2013 2:00:32 PM

I want fundraisers who are more than fundraisers. They're leaders of their organizations, the sector, and the community. These leaders ask the cage-rattling questions and challenge the status quo.

Inspiring donors to engage is not a simple ask, it's a call to rally around your cause. Don't be afraid to try approaches that integrate fundraising and campaign strategies.
