Marketing and communications professionals can learn by studying, learning, training and from doing. In the next seven days, I am going to learn by doing and invite you to join me. What exactly do I mean?
In my last post, I shared news about an upcoming trip to Guatemala my mom, my grandma and I are making alongside fellow changemakers. Part of this trip is working to raise funds to provide seven roofs for seven families in seven days, a total of $1100 ($157 per roof).
7 Questions…
Over the next seven days, I also plan to answer seven questions based on things I learn during this process, insights you help me to discover, why I chose CrowdRise over other fudraising platforms, how fundraising relates to social marketing, the role of the free agent and any other items you may be curious about. I hope this seven-day adventure not only raises funds for those who need it–but also helps us grow as professionals.
So Sound Off: What questions do you have when it comes to fundraising change?

What do you think it would take to help the majority of nonprofits in America retain and train great fundraisers?

Great question–There’s been a conversation bubbling about the role of the “free agent.” A free agent can be anyone who gets people involved across the spectrum–from engagement to fundraising to volunteering.
I will answer your question and expand on what I mention abot this week–be sure to check back! Thanks for your participation.
