This class will be launching soon! Keep an eye out on Facebook for a live link.
Congratulations to everyone who participated in the Southwest Florida region's #GivingChallenge2020 for doing so much to help our community and its people survive the pandemic and all its ramifications.
As a fundraiser or member of a nonprofit's board of directors, it may be tempting to have your clients tell the most intimate details of their history as a way to boost your fundrasising efforts. After all, you KNOW that those details will shock or upset people, and that donations may come in as a result.

The NFL was widely accused of using such "tragedy porn" tactics to keep viewer's attention during April's NFL Draft, presumably because they could not have the in-person crowd and had air space to fill.

There are a number of reasons NOT to go this route. Check out this three-minute video on using client testimonials without exploiting the client.

As the NFL discovered, there are appropriate times and places to share some level of personal backstory. It is a delicate balance to get it right.

Phil-Com needs your help! We need just nine more subscribers to our YouTube channel to be eligible for a unique YouTube url. Having such a direct web address will help people find our training videos more quickly. Please use this link and then click "subscribe to channel". It is that easy.
