Finding and Understanding Donors

The first step to successful fundraising is finding the right donor that perfectly fits your agenda, and the second is to understand exactly what the donor wants to see in a proposal. If you have the perfect match in a donor AND understand how you can make your proposal shine, your chances of fundraising success will be much higher!
