Something interesting about this subject that others may not know:

Successful fundraising and effective board involvement do not happen just because we are engaged in a good cause. There are more than one-million nonprofits in the United States and 1,000 are added every week--all are good causes. Successful fundraising and effective board involvement occur because we have intentional plans and we implement our plans with courage, vision, and fortitude.
