Hi everyone,
We here at Philanthropy University recognize that you guys, our learners, are experts in what you do. For that reason, we want to to hear your best practices for common challenges you face in your work.
Every couple weeks, we will ask a new question related to your best practices at work. Please provide your and/or your organization's best practices, and "vote" for others’ best practices that you agree with or are helpful. Based on the best practices that get the most “votes”, we will gather this community’s favorite answers and make a collection of the Fundraising and Resource Mobilization community’s best practices. This collection of best practices will be available to all learners who visit this community, supporting other individuals interested in Fundraising and Resource Mobilization to overcome these common challenges.
