Secret #1: The Golden Rule

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!)
Secret #3: Your Appeal

Secret #7: Due Diligence
You should learn what you can about the company behind the fundraising program you're considering:
-
How long has it been in the fundraising business?
-
What's its reputation? (You might want to check with the Better Business Bureau.)
-
What does its program say about its values; does it share your values? For
instance, does it require your group's children to participate in order to succeed? Does it believe
in helping others (the donors) or does it just impose on them for money?

next fundraiser. If you would like to know who I am, what fundraising program I've chosen to recommend

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!
