Thanks so much, not sure what you do to fundraise, but I hope you can
let me know. This is a part of a message I sent to another NFB friend
some time ago, you can see some of my ideas here, so feel free to read
them and hope we can talk about that further.

If you want to do fundraising, you don't always have to do it
actively, but things can also come to you as well if you are careful
about how and what you do, lol. If I had my own organization, I think
what I would do first is attract some really capable people to serve
in the leadership team, people I know I can trust and people I know
have done great work before and even volunteer work and never
complained about it or wanted financial gain. Then from there, I would
establish the philosophy and the group with them, we would do research
on members we can attract, things we can do, people that can help us.
Then I would advertise it in the media, through the disability
organizations, schools and universities, so the chain of people will
start to form. When they get to the group, they will probably be
connected to others previously that want to also get to learn about
the group, so I would make sure that the group is what was really
intended to be. From there, I would make sure that whatever was done,
was done right and as it needs to be done. Sometimes unexpected things
happen as well, but I believe if leaders are decent, then we will have
less problems. Fromthere, when others see what we do and how much
people benefit, they would start to donate. When they see people out
doing all kinds of things by themselves and with them, they would get
to be engaged in your activities, would help you organize things and
some may even want to personally get involved in helping you.
