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

I have shared this list before, and with year-end fundraising beginning, I thought it was a good time to share again.

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

1. Have Pandora or my favorite (104.5 radio Latino) radio station on. Music inspires me and gets me ready to rock and roll. This is especially helpful before an important call.

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