Get Donors: Startup founders must have fundraising responsibilities

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 3: Startup founders must have fundraising responsibilities

In a startup nonprofit, the founding team is responsible for setting an example: this team should be the first to donate to the organization so that others will follow their lead. The amount doesn’t matter; full team participation matters more.
