I feel like this cartoon is pretty accurate. Too many charities seek funds simply by asking other people to ask people for money, but this strategy is out-dated. It seems obvious that it would be more effective for consultants to focus on realistic ways to motivate people to donate, instead of relying exclusively on the ability to generate guilt.
I feel like this cartoon is pretty accurate. Although it makes much more sense for charities to focus on their donors’ motivations to give, many simply assign people (or “cheerleaders”) to appeal to a donors’ guilty conscience. This strategy is overdone, and therefore, increasingly ineffective.
I agree, there are many more effecive ways to raise money.
