Notas do Editor
Get your cell phones ready and handy if you’re in the US and you want to try it yourself!
Having your supporters reach out on your behalf to people they know that you don’t – expanding your donor base#1 signifies someone they didn’t know before that the Pastor knows and can connect them to. Most important thing to get from this is that 76% of donors give to a program because someone they trust asked them to. This proves that the people in your networks (your fundraising captains specifically) can leverage their connections to get donations for your project
What is GlobalGiving?A website that helps organizations raise money to help their communities.We offer organizations a unique set of online tools, strategic support, and the opportunity to connect with our vast network of individual donors and corporate sponsors.
