« How to Deal with Donor Complaints | Main | Donor-Centric Newsletters, Part 1: Why You Should Have One »
Raising funds around disasters is very different from everyday fundraising. We talk about the differences, and what you need to know to be successful -- including when a disaster is not a disaster. Plus the two things to look for if you're wondering whether something truly qualifies as a disaster in the fundraising sense.

Hi Guys!
Just wanted to say how much I have enjoyed your podcasts. I got my brand new Zune and have been listening to them on my daily subway ride.
I love the way you cover your subjects. Not too earnest. Steeped in actual examples. Respectful of the charities you represent, but still willing to criticize where criticism is due. You take your subect seriously, but not yourselves.
One suggestion: please increase the volume when you record. I had to turn the volume on my Zune up to the max (something I have been all over my teenaged son not to do) to hear you over the ambient subway noise, but then when it switched to a song afterwards, I was nearly deafened.
If ever you'd like to talk about the conflict that can arise between the fundraisers and the finance staff, I'd be happy to provide some material.
Thank you again,
Bill
