The Boy Who Learned How to Pick Up Girls from Fundraising Letters

Warning: useless material ahead! Inspired by a comment from Tom Ahern, I decided to make a movie from a little interpersonal vignette in a recent column of mine in FundRaising Success magazine.

The movie could be called "The Boy Who Learned How to Pick Up Girls from Fundraising Letters."

If you can't see it, go here to watch.

What is this blog all about?

If you're serious about raising money from donors, you need to get serious about donors. More than ever before, donors are insisting that you share power with them, not treating them like passive ATMs. This blog is about the ways you can do that -- and the rewards that await you and your donors when you do.
