Hopefully it will be a dialogue, and readers are invited to comment freely.

Scope of This Blog
This blog by John G. Fike, CFRE, President of Philanthropy Solutions, LLC, discusses all aspects of fundraising for nonprofit organizations, with particular emphasis on helping fundraising professionals, executives and board members of small to medium-sized nonprofits learn how to raise more money.
Institutional development and the enhancement of fundraising capacity is a central concern.
I am constantly trying to help our nonprofits raise more money. In order to do that, we need to tackle some critical issues in a wide variety of fields, many of which seem only tangential to fundraising but impact the fundraising effort significantly.
