When fundraising powers giving
Philanthropy made possible the March on Washington, and today asking by fundraisers, peers, and others continues to play a vital role in unleashing generosity. If we see philanthropy as the valuable risk capital of a democracy, why do we not offer the same status to fundraising as we do to giving?
