Hi all,
I have a question that relates to
fundraising.
I am sure that many of you get lists of people to
solicit from your board members. Here is the question: Do you ask your board
members each time you send a solicitation if it is ok to solicit those people? I
have a very small donor database, that is almost completely made up of friends
of board members. Every time we send a solicitation letter (twice a year)
I have to show every board member their current list, and often end up removing
a large number of names from my database, rather than adding more. It is VERY
time consuming, and even more frustrating.
I am curious how this works in other organizations.
If anyone is willing to share, I would appreciate it!
Thanks,
Melinda Kaufman
