I am learning the fundraising "ropes" on the job and the more I hear about successful fundraising and fundraisers the more it become apparent that the keys are
1. Passion for the cause
2. Innovative Ideas and,
3. (most importantly) The ability to listen and understand a donors motivation.
If you can provide a clear goal that matches a donor's ideals and a set amount you need to raise you will get the money - ONLY if you have the 3 keys above.
