New column every Monday: "The Fundraising Guru," May 5, 2008

Take the 5 formulas test!

Last week, I revealed the 5 formulas to help nonprofits "raise money in bad times--for FREE!" If you haven't read the column, scroll down to it now. If you have read it, refresh your memory about its messages.

This week, it's time to self-assess. On a scale of 0 (Not at all) to 10 (gung-ho!), rate your willingness to get your nonprofit to apply the 5 formulas to your fundraising success.
