Creative Fundraisers are Worth their Weight in Donations!

Some of the best people I’ve worked for have been those who take a creative approach to fundraising, thinking outside the box and looking at the bigger picture.  Rather than just focusing on the project or campaign target, they have an ability to look at how other projects and programmes might link in with the one needing immediate funding.  Or they can see how to make the donors gift or sponsors investment really make a difference – to both organisation and donor.  I’ve been fortunate enough to have worked for a couple of really creative, focused people and I hope that I’ve learned from them along the way.
