Self-proclaimed watchdog organizations would have you believe that donors care mostly about your numbers, but what donors really care about is the impact of the work you do and knowing how their donations made a difference in the lives of people (or animals or the environment). Ron elaborates on one of the most important aspects of fundraising in his book-stewardship. It’s a must read for anyone in fundraising.
