Blueprint Fundraising

If you want to build a ship,
don’t herd people together to collect wood
And don’t assign them tasks and work
but rather, teach them to long for the
endless immensity of the sea.

– Antoine de Saint Exupéry
I absolutely love this quote. It’s so pertinent to fundraising. How many of us focus on the how-to details and forget to feed a passion for social change in the people sympathetic our causes?
