Moving from Fundraising to Philanthropy

Fundraising is a focus on meeting a dollar goal, while philanthropy is about people feeling good about giving and giving back to your organization. 

If an organization focuses on philanthropy, they ultimately generate more sustainable resources and these strong relationships can weather storms and help an organization grow, while others may  shrink in tough economic times.
