Secret #1: The Golden Rule
(All other secrets come from this one!)

Put yourself in the position of those you'll be asking to help you in your fund raiser - your donors, your volunteers and yourself - and remember, "Do unto others ....."!

That's all you'll need to understand how to apply these secrets to fundraising success that unfold from the Golden Rule!

Secret #2: Your Donor

The Golden Rule's key to success in fundraising is to help people more than you're asking them to help you:  If you offer your prospective donors something with a lot more value than the donation you're asking them for, they'll be a lot more likely to give you that donation.   (How do you do that?   Be patient; in just a moment you'll find out!)

  • How long has it been in the fundraising business?

  • What's its reputation?   (You might want to check with the Better Business Bureau.)

PS   Over the years, I've come across several fundraising programs that (more or less) follow these "Golden Rule" principles of fundraising.  You might find a few if you search for them on the Internet or look for them in various magazines, or perhaps you'll hear about them by word-of- mouth.   It almost doesn't matter which one you choose; you should be able to do better with any of these programs than with a "typical" fund raiser.  I simply chose the one that I personally thought - and still think - best represents "Golden-Rule" fundraising.

PPS   Just remember: To succeed in fundraising, as in life, try to help people (donors) more than you ask them to help you!
