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.
