That’s right – we’ve rallied 13 nonprofit thought leaders to share their best fundraising strategies, tips and ideas with YOU.

In our latest installment of npEXPERTS – “Cupids Arrow: Targeted Strategies to Acquire Supporters” – you’ll find 36-pages of thoughtful advice on donor acquisition strategies, written collaboratively by a cross-section of nonprofit fundraising experts.
