One Relationship at a Time
Jeff Nischwitz knows that "the times they are a'changin'" for non-profits, with reductions in donations and increased pressure on fundraising. But Nischwitz's approach is to develop your relationships, and "friend-raise" instead. In these days of desperate "transactional" approaches, Jeff coaches on how non-profits can become more "relational."
Watch the video interview with Thomas Mulready of Cool Cleveland, and get ready for Nischwitz's groundbreaking seminar, "Fulfilling Your Mission... One Relationship at a Time," on Thu 9/9 at the Boy Scouts HQ in Downtown Cleveland.
