"...had bequeath to his executors for charitable purposes his personal clothing and nought else..."
This week I am re-reading "The Ethics of giving: The Ratio of Generosity to Income" by "a Drafter of Many Appeals" from the Hospital Magazine, published in 1915.
Reflection question:
- When will you take the time to find the humor in our fundraising work through humorous videos or cartoons focused on fundraising or, maybe, have conversation with a colleague about their funniest moments in this profession?
Reflection on the quote:
As we enter into fall and preparing for year-end giving season, I thought that I would re-share a bit of humor from a fundraising colleague who toiled in our profession over a hundred years ago. This professional was obviously the chief writer of many year-end fundraising appeal.
To the drafter of many appeals. We still hear you. There are days when we too want to throw up our hands and ask why. Why did they only donate used clothing as this donor did? Or the sailboat that is not water worthy? Do they not know that generosity should not cost the nonprofit? And, yet, in the midst of the weird moments of fundraising, we also see the sacrificial donors who wish to join us in the work of our missions and wish that they could give more.
This work has entered the public domain.
