ONE SIMPLE TOOL THAT CAN RAISE SO MUCH MONEY

On February 15, 2012, Laura Fredricks spoke at the AFP, Greater New York Chapter event entitled "How to Enhance, Structure, and Diversify Your Major Gifts Program."

I am a firm believer that if you want to raise money…you must quantify the need. I like to say it as “How Much, How Many, How Often and Why.” This creates a sense of urgency (note I did not say “emergency!) as to why your organization needs important gifts now, as opposed to 2013.
