A ten-week series on things you should know about fundraising. This is fundraising: Ask, thank, report, repeat. That’s pretty much all you need to know about fundraising. Fundraising is a relationship cycle: It starts with asking, but if that’s all you do, you won’t build a relationship — and you’ll get far fewer repeat donations. Success comes from going through the cycle, over and over again.
