Gifts that don’t move your mission aren’t good for your organization

On this episode of Fundraising @ Camp, Heather, Joe, and Travis talk about some “bad” gifts including a 42,000 piece button collection, specifically-designated gifts for programs that don’t align with the organization’s mission, and gifts that will never get used.  Our hosts share some of their tactics for preventing finding themselves on the receiving end of gifts that could lead them to finding themselves spending even more money to store, display, and maintain these gifts. 

Tune in for this episode of Fundraising @ Camp where the hosts remind you to remember the fun of fundraising.
