12. WHY? Know your audience. What are their hopes, fear, motivations? Align your needs and theirs. Make the right connections. Show off how remarkable you are.

Notas do Editor
EX: How I used to view blood donation. How people view The Salvation Army.
Make shorter. USE lot of examples. Taking away adversarial relationships.
NEW RULES & EXPECTATIONS
Example of an org whose SM goals come from org goals.
Make donors feel a part of something bigger than themselves.
