Fundraising tip: It is de rigeur to use the words, "please" and "thank you" frequently and sincerely in any request for money, work, volunteerism, charitable contributions, anything. While "Fundraiser's Edge", and other software programs, are now being used as ways of improving efficiency in fundraising,the words, "please" and "thank you" remain key to any fund raising effort and civilized life on this planet. Please use them, Adam Honigman

Here's a suggestion I just gave one of your fellow listserve members (although many of you may already do this). Write your ACGA membership (organizational, professional, etc.) into your budget and into future grant proposals-- stressing the importance of connecting work with the experience and expertise of the ACGA. It can be a fairly simple way to get the membership tacked on to a larger request for money... :) Amanda Maria Edmonds -----===================================================---__ "We must be the change we wish to see in the world."
