In a Fundraising Funk?
"The normal distribution of people giving, simply doesnât work anymore...
Making an average pitch to average people isnât going to scale. Weâve got to find the edge cases, the people who care, the people who through their actions have already
indicated this is something they are dying to get involved in. Those people are worth all of our time. Let the average people deal with someone else"
