<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">I think it would help our fundraising if we convinced each state affiliate or NFB project that receives money from the yearly JI fundraising campaign to write a lovely review of how they used
the funds in their area and for their specific program helping the blind. Surely that would be useful since knowledgeable people with money are likely to check Guidestar records for the 911 facts before donating and are likely to tap on such reviews. Here
is a tip from Guidestar:<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt"><span style="font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Did you know that your existing supporters' opinions can significantly help your fundraising? They can when your volunteers, clients, board members,
