FUNDRAISING

European citizens continue to show resolute support to aid provided to developing countries according to a special Eurobarometer published today. One week before the UN High Level Meeting on the Millennium Development Goals, the survey shows that 89% of respondents consider development aid is important or very important. Two in three Europeans believe that the EU should honor, or even improve, on its promises to increase development aid to 0.7% of GNI by 2015, the deadline for achieving the Millennium Development Goal. This support, shared by a vast majority of citizens regardless of the nationality, has remained consistently high despite the financial crisis and the economic situation in Europe. In this context, three quarters (76%) of Europeans believe that there is added value in EU countries working together which contributes to avoid duplication and ensure aid effectiveness.

As a fundraiser, it's so easy to get jaded and to think we've seen it all. But curiousity is one of the most important tools a fundraiser can have. It helps in every step of the "Get R.E.A.L." fundraising process:

Research: If you're curious, you will not just enter someone's email address, but notice that it's a unique domain name and go check it out. Even if it doesn't lead to a major discovery, it can be a talking point with the donor.

Engage: Being curious as you engage a donor involves asking perceptive questions. Once, while in the lobby of a factory that produced wrought iron products, I asked how paint got on the iron.
