Fundrasing as a Practice-- Simply Begin

The only choice that we have is to begin. And the only place to begin is where we are. Simply begin” #SethGodin, #ThePractice.

You can begin your #fundraising effort, from just where you are. Just begin. If you have a few individual donors, extend your practice to create a systematic #majorgifts program. The way you do this is by establishing the practices of the major gifts program.

A practice is built by having daily habits and taking action, consistently over a period of time. “Action creates habits, and habits are part of a practice, and a practice is the single best way to get to where you seek to go. (Godin)
You create a major gifts program, by doing the prospecting, cultivating, communicating, soliciting, and stewarding—long before you have the major gift as an outcome.

Start where you are. The commitment is completely under your control, even when the end results cant be.

Now You: What action are you committing to today that will begin your practice?
