Are fundraisers saints or sinners

"People who move into fundraising and commence the creation of resource mobilisation strategies come from many directions, and today the search is on for effective staff or volunteers to handle this all-important function. There is no pool of experienced fundraisers to draw on, no placement agencies specialising in this field and until recently no formal training programmes that would give the practical grounding in the knowledge, skills and techniques that are essential for professional development. Therefore, we need to examine the personal characteristics that are most likely to provide just the kind of fundraisers Non-profit organisations are seeking." - From the website of the Southern African Institute of Fundraising.
