Get Donors: Create real, personal, and urgent appeals

In conjunction with the launch of Get Donors, our free 7-part video series on the secrets of nonprofit fundraising, we’ll be publishing key take-aways from each of the seven videos.

Our series is taught by Ruthellen Rubin, an NYU Professor of Philanthropy and Certified Fund Raising Executive. She distills over 30 years of professional nonprofit fundraising experience and expertise into Get Donors. Here’s the  tidbit for this week!

Lesson 2: Create real, personal, and urgent appeals
