At GuideStar, we pride ourselves on listening before we speak, especially when it comes to what keeps nonprofits up at night. So we listened when you told us that fundraising is a chief concern among nonprofits big and small. We know that, although your mission is at the core of everything you do, without a constant flow of funds, progress toward advancing your mission is compromised. We also know that nonprofits compete for donations and that anything you can do to help distinguish your organization from its peers and competitors, particularly during a down economy, can be of critical importance.
