For the Love of Fundraising: I Wish I’d Thought of That in the Time of Coronavirus

If we can say that 2020 was quite difficult for global economy, then it would not be an exaggeration that it was truly atrocious for non-profit organizations. If nothing else, it strengthened the belief that fundraising is not easy. Even in the most prosperous times, fundraising causes a lot of stress. However, non-profits also saw a silver lining in this global health crisis. Unusual circumstances challenged people to work in creative way utilizing potential and talents they were not aware they had.

  • The I Wish I’d Thought of That event moved online in 2020 and will have an Americas version in late January 2021.
  • One zoo in California allows donors to have a guest goat appear at their Zoom meetings.
