Oh my god. This is the line to get into Kamala Harris’ rally in Atlanta tonight. She doesn’t start speaking for another 2 hours. This is huge. The American people are fired up and ready to elect VP Harris!

Foundations do not represent the entirety that is philanthropy (less than 20% actually). We ALWAYS have a choice. No foundation is FORCING you to submit a grant proposal. When I was the solo fundraiser, growing revenue for small orgs, I focused my grant efforts (1/3)

on those foundations supporting general operating and w/ the least onerous application processes. What that meant was that our org had a strong base of foundation general operating support from smaller grants - $1,000 to $10k typically. Far far easier to administer. (2/3)

And it gave me the time to concentrate on what matters - growing individual giving. Nonprofit fundraising can suck - hunger games contests, unwieldy grant apps, golf outings, and galas (for the most part). But we have the CHOICE as to whether we participate or not. (3/3)

"Nobody reads long copy!" This is the argument for only sending short emails & letters. But remember when kids lined up at midnight to get the newest Harry Potter book? Ave. pages: 486 📚 👉There's no copy that's too long. Just copy that's too boring.💤 #fundraising #copywriting

We need to ensure that every Pennsylvanian who wants to join a union has the opportunity to join a union. Unions get the job done, and they do it right.

Replying to @Mayoisspicyy
Rupert Murdoch and his fascist propaganda in Fox News, being played everyday, is destroying American democracy.
