The Hope Process Mentioned in the "Journal of the DMA Nonprofit Federation"

Dino Sgueglia, the founder of "The Hope Proccess" wrote an article that was published in "Journal of the DMA Nonprofit Federation" Volume 13: Issue 2 April 2010. Below is a paragraph from that article "Having A Business Mentality In A Not-For-Profit World." To read the full article you can go here: http://www.nonprofitfederation.org/

"The Hope Process is a non-traditional

fundraising activity that can benefit

any charitable organization by

building a portfolio of recurring

donations for the charity month-aftermonth.

In a time when there is less

and less disposable income, this

type of non-traditional fundraising

gives charities the opportunity to

benefit, and merchants the ability

to give without opening their own

wallets. Stepping outside my comfort

zone and in to the nonprofit space

helped me introduce elements of the

business world to nonprofits. In the

end, we have been able to assist other

charities as well. My parting advice

to all would be to step outside of your

comfort zone in fundraising because

you never know who or what will give

you the next great idea!"
