Blueprint Fundraising

Why people hate us

Poppy coin Here’s a story in honour of Remembrance Day, via Trent Stamp’s Take.

This scammer has spent the last 25 years cultivating a phone list and stealing money from thousands of people through telephone fundraising, claiming to be from various veteran’s organizations.

I agree with Trent and Charity Navigator. I don’t think anyone should make donations on the phone and charities shouldn’t fundraise by phone either. Telephone fundraising is a big reason that people hate the fundraising business.

This is why people give me funny looks when I introduce myself as a fundraiser at dinner parties. Isn’t it?
