Behind every successful program a nonprofit does, there’s a fundraiser.
Behind every political campaign, there’s a fundraiser.
Behind new buildings and programs and scholarships and endowments, there’s a fundraiser.
Behind every donor, there’s a fundraiser.
And fundraisers make it all about the donors.
How awesome is that? What other profession gets to see dreams come to life, stand back and say, “Wow! I helped that happen!” (Teachers is the answer to that question; their job is pretty incredible, too).
It’s hard.
It’s not for the faint-hearted or the weak.
We have the power in our hands to shape the future. We get to help people realize their passions.
We get to change the world – sometimes $10 at a time.
So, when it looks bleak, when hope is fading, when it’s all too much, remember . . . we can be the change. We have to be the change.
When its darkest, we will keep finding the ways to shine light into it.
We’re the bridge, the conduit, the go-between. We get to bring together the people who WANT TO with the people who NEED.
We’re fundraisers. And we have the Greatest Job in the World.
