L.Scott Schultz, President Five Tips for Fundraising Success

In a presentation at the 2007 Franklin Forum, sponsored by the Greater Philadelphia Chapter of the Association of Fundraising Professionals, S&W President Scott Schultz shared the following tips for fundraising success:

  1. Avoid fundraising in a black-box environment. Control or at least participate in all aspects of management planning, marketing/communications and board development. Be a player, not a spectator. Participate in setting the agenda you will be asked to support through fundraising.

  2. Use technology and modern fundraising tools, including prospect research, e-news and online giving, to your greatest advantage. (more)

St. Vincent Meals on Wheels: Increasing Online Presence

Like so many organizations today, St. Vincent Meals on Wheels (SVMOW) wanted to take its online communications and fundraising program to the next level, but found itself with an outdated website that was difficult to navigate, did not reflect their organization, and did not facilitate giving.
