When I began my career leading fundraising efforts for a national nonprofit, the focus of everything I did was on the individual donor. Our success was based on the willingness of fundraisers to ask for support from deep-pocketed individuals with whom they had a personal connection. But that was then. Times have changed.

Newbie fundraisers sometimes believe, mistakenly, that donors make charitable donations the way they write thank-you cards or pay their monthly bills—i.e., When a would-be donor decides in a momentary surge of charity to give away their money to a cause, they may not know to whom they should give it.
