Fundraising is such an important part of a compassionate, caring, cultural world and I am grateful that I get the opportunity to do it.

Before Altrui, I led several fundraising teams. My first was a smaller nonprofit with a fundraising team of three. I created this list to support my efforts in growing relationships and fundraising.

I had only been in fundraising leadership for a year, and had found success in fundraising going down roads that are not common in your average fundraising plan. Here is a list of 10 things I did, if not daily, frequently.

One last thing. I totally understand that what I did may not work for everyone. A great example will be number 1.

1. Have Pandora or my IPOD on. Music inspires me and gets me ready to rock-n-roll. Especially before an important call.

2. Maintain a sense of gratitude. The truth is that I have so much. My life is amazing.

3. Thank your co-workers/team. Together you can rock it.

4. Let your friends and contacts on social media know what you’re doing.
