Michael created The Fundraising Journal to provide non-profits, charities and organizations with a level of fundraising information via in-depth case studies and white papers that has not been available to the fundraising community. His mission is to help these organizations become more effective and efficient in their fundraising endeavors so they can better serve their clients and communities.

About The Fundraising Journal

The Fundraising Journal and its online monthly newsletter consists of case studies and white papers of successful fundraising campaigns. The case studies are an in depth analysis of campaign goals, strategies, execution and results. We also include copies of the creative elements that were used as well as information on partners and agencies that participated in the campaign. These fundraising case studies represent campaigns from a wide variety of organizations and causes.

The Journal's mission is to provide a new, in depth level of fundraising information and analysis to non-profits, charities and organizations. This will help them be more effective and efficient in their fundraising endeavors to better serve both their clients and communities.

As an additional feature referred to as the "SPOTLIGHT", we are highlighting and recognizing both an individual and organization or business, that are doing extraordinary work in their communities and in the charitable arena.

Please share the journal with your friends and colleagues. A sincere thank you to those organizations that are unselfishly sharing their information, experience and expertise, so that the fundraising community and those whose lives they impact can benefit.
