Relationship Engineer“Fundraising and Volunteer Engagement are both all about building relationships. In today’s connected world, the lines are blurring between donors and volunteers, so why would you put up an artificial wall that limits your relationships? Instead, use the ideas and strategies . . . to empower and inspire potential community members to provide the help you need most, turning donors into volunteers . . . into donors.”
