Take the lead to address these strategies, which are critical for growth and sustainability. If you are a Fundraising Manager, this is your invitation to step up as a leader. You can "lead the charge" to implement strategies that impact fundraising - and your entire organization."Ken, when you joined Foster Parents Plan, we were already doing annual business planning. What we weren't doing was thinking BIG and BOLD, but you changed all that. Instead of incremental and realistic achievable growth, you introduced a culture of stretching our expectations and imaginations - and our targets stretched too. Then you changed the board's thinking, recruited new members, and convinced them (and your international colleagues) to give you the necessary tools to compete with other larger and more well-known organizations. The organization tripled in size in your ten-year tenure, a remarkable success story. I am glad you wrote 25 Proven Strategies for Fundraising because too many nonprofits fall short in their strategic planning - many don't try."
