Abstract:
We are in the higher education in order to change lives and build tomorrow. "Do you have rich friends?" "I need funds but hate to beg." Do away with myths in 2016 - Fundraising is not about money, but partnership in mission. Let's examine how to reach out, and how influence and impact can in turn shape and define success.
