Quotes from Meghan

“Fundraisers tend to over-complicate philanthropy. Fundraising is about reaching the right donor at the right time with the right giving opportunity. We should be investing in systems and processes that focus on those key goals.”

“We can spend a lot of time on minor details that won’t move the needle on response. The best strategy is is to focus on the key activities that will amplify the joy of giving for the donors we serve, including the best giving options, stewardship to thank them, and making giving easy.”
