Fundraising “I advise you to apply to all those whom you know will give something; next, to those whom you are uncertain whether they will give anything or not, and show them the list of those who have given; and, lastly, do not neglect those who you are sure will give nothing, for in some of them you may be mistaken (Benjamin Franklin).” Image: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_one_hundred-dollar_bill
