Tips for a great appeal from Swaim's Director of Operations, Mary Elizabeth and Director of Fundraising Strategy, Sama Shagaga:

We need the energy of pre-committed gifts to create a tipping point during the appeal. Have a team [enter all] gifts to make that thermometer grow!

We’ve done hundreds of fundraisers across the globe... and we play around with every show to make it as on-brand as possible. --Ryan Brothers, The AV Department
