When you’re asked how you’re doing with your fundraising please don’t say, “we’ve met our funding goal.”

Ever.

UNLESS

• You have no waiting list for your programs.

• You have a solid endowment & planned giving program.

• You have an employer match for your 403b retirement program for staff.

• You have an excellent salary & full benefits package for your hard-working staff.
