Tip of the Week: United Way does it right

newarrow_1014.jpgAt this time of year, you can’t help but notice and admire the fundraising techniques of the United Way. While the campaign is on I encourage you to check out the United Way of the Lower Mainland’s Campaign 2005 Toolkit. Wander around at the planning tools, forms, talking points and watch the campaign video to see some really great fundraising.

One red paperclip

This fall I seem to be doing a lot of coaching and training… and when talking with people about what it takes to be successful in fundraising, persistence and determination top the list. Here’s someone showing a lot of persistence… He started in July with one red paperclip. He traded that for a funny pen. He has been trading up and up now he has a snowmobile. He’s going to keep going until he gets a house! What a nut.
