3 notes taken in a Learning Lab

I spoke with Shirley Wong (above), council member at the Singapore Infocomm Technology Federation, after today's Learning Lab "Fundraising in the New Economy." She was kind enough to share three important notes she wrote down during the session:

  • Giving is competitive. Your organization and other organizations are fighting for the same dollars from donors.
  • People give when they're directly asked—so never be afraid to ask.
  • Challenges or matching gifts are a big motivator for donors.

For more on the topic of fundraising, see the session handout from presenter Chris Looney, operational VP at CCS. And for ideas on taking good notes, see "3 tips for taking notes at a conference." (No, none of the tips in that post was "share your notes with an Acronym blogger," but it certainly couldn't hurt.)
