As it says above in the description, I started this blog back in 2013 when I was VP of Planned Giving at United Way in Birmingham. It was a way to share good ideas that someone else shared with me. I cannot vouch for any of the links from those 2013 posts, although I did check and most of the forms and documents I uploaded still work.
October 2013 I moved to the YMCA as the Chief Development Officer. Now, about a year and a half later, I am restarting the blog because I've decided to take the CFRE exam. I went on the web looking for resources, didn't have a whole lot of luck, so why not share the steps I take. If I pass the test, then maybe you will have a guide that will help you. If I don't pass, well then you will know what not to do.
The rest of the posts will be about what we are doing in financial development at the YMCA of Greater Birmingham. If you find something useful, feel free to borrow it.
