Notes for Development:

  1. Fundraising decisions are mostly top driven and may also be limited to individuals exclusively responsible for raising funds.

  2. Fundraising startegies and thereby choices, are best taken by- management, leadership, core group of staffs, and the fundraising professionals together. Each play vital role (for various perspectives) in taking such decisions, and thereby own these decisions.

  3. Develop a way of taking fundraising decisions collectively - leadership, management, fundraisers, program staffs, and the remaining core group of people. This will enable a path towards more informed and strategic choices.
