I’m a work in progress. So are you!
I’ve been a fundraiser for a long time. Yet I still think of myself more as a student, not a teacher.
And I’ve been feeling a little guilty about that.
Instead of just soaking all those smarts up, shouldn’t I add something?
I’m going to try. I hope you’ll visit often and share your thoughts as well. This is collaborative work we do, after all!
Of course, this blog is also a chance to learn something new. And I learn best hands-on – by doing.
So hello! It’s good to meet you. I hope you’ll bear with me as I begin.
Maybe we’ll both learn something.
Any suggestions for a new blogger?
Reblogged this on More Than Coffee Runs and commented:
Super excited about this new blog! I love hearing about new fundraising ideas! I LOVE FUNDRAISING SO MUCH@
Thanks, Caitie. That’s very nice of you. And I’m happy to read about someone so excited about fundraising! It never stops being interesting – I can guarantee you that.
Read through your blog, and you seem to be doing fine. It gets harder after awhile, to keep the momentum. It’s also harder when you start linking to other blogs or info, or include videos and other stuff. But it’s also like walking, putting one foot in front of the other, and then it becomes habitual as it develops along its own lines..
Thank you, Eric. Yes, I imagine it will take some discipline to keep going after the initial excitement is gone. I’m sure going to try!
I appreciate your comments!
I just read the entire blog and I hope you do continue on, i feel like I have just a great course in fundraising, very appropriate as I am working on a donor request later right now. Please keep blogging!
Thanks again, Kelly. Work on! And lots of luck with it. Tell me how it goes?
