As I mentioned in part one of this two part series, your fundraising team is one of the most important elements of your entire fundraising operation. Without a solid team, you may encounter unnecessary roadblocks along the way - everything from uncooperative team members to people whose passion is a little misguided. These things are all going to count when the final fund raising dollar value is tallied at the end of each year.

That's why selecting the right people for your fundraising team is so important.

Now, for your organization, you may not be able to rely strictly on the work of family and friends - depending on the size of your organization. If you are a smaller community organization, the friends and family angle might work just fine.
