Fundraising is the act of building relationships.
Fundraising is different from marketing because the function of marketing is to make the worse appear better, while fundraising is the act of building relationships and awareness about your nonprofit.
Because too few people know how to do it.
Because you need help and you don't have enough time.
Because if everyone in your nonprofit is also a fundraiser, your nonprofit has a very good chance of success.
