"In my 30+ years of work with nonprofits, I have learned that effective resource development is based on meaningful relationships between a nonprofit and its supporters. Successful fundraising flows from positive partnerships between the board, senior staff, and fundraising professionals and the authentic connections they build with valued donors."
