Everything’s Related on Cape Cod

I've been working at an intense level on a project not related to fundraising, but I discovered that there really is truth in the strength of friendraising.

The project relies on people from all walks of life to manage it.  Some of those folks have managed to leave the people working with them feeling very frustrated.  As days go by, I watch the level of frustration rise. Angry emails. Curt responses. You know what it's like.

Meanwhile I find myself thinking, "Lucky these managers don't have raise any funds for this project." Even I would be hard pressed to donate to people whom I find frustrating.

The relationships among people in the project also remind me about how small our little home, Cape Cod, really is ~ and how easy it is to burn bridges.

Whether you are working on a fundraising project or something that appears to be unrelated, on Cape Cod everything is related.

So keep on friendraising! You never know when it will serve your organization's mission now or in the future.
