\nQUOTES
\n\u201cIt is my strong belief that it is very hard to be a successful fundraiser at a place where you are not willing to make a gift and are not willing to participate in the program.\u201d - Sarah Danzig Simon
\n\u201cWhen I do a donor tour, I'm always in classrooms. We're hyper-diligent about making sure that we're not interrupting. And we leave things better than when we started.\u201d - Sarah Danzig Simon
\n\u201cI think, sometimes, fundraisers can forget that they're actually working on behalf of the program staff and that we work for them.\u201d - Rhea Wong
\n\u201cIf you are going to pursue a career in fundraising, you must be comfortable saying the words, will you make a gift to this organization of X dollars? And you need to really challenge yourself to say, is that specific task something I'm willing to do?\u201d - Sarah Danzig Simon
