25 Awesome Fundraising Quotes
 Often we hear great quotes capturing the essence of the message. They are inspiring! They remind us of the important reasons why we work for charity and how we should do it, or how best practice would describe it...

People will forget what you said. They will forget what you did. But they will never forget how you made them feel. - Maya Angelou
Donors have little way to assess your charity's work; they use the service you provide to them as a surrogate. - Adrian Sargeant
In good times and bad, we know that people give because you meet needs, not because you have needs. - Kay Sprinkel Grace
