Some of the other job categories working with animals are care and conservation of wildlife, zoos, and animal training.Care and conservat

Not a week goes by when I am not approached by a non-profit organization and asked for a donation. Some charitable organizations do it with cold calling, some with selling candy. Some 501c3s offer the most ridiculous items and they are instantly dismissed. Some have great ideas at a reasonable price. Some are WAY off in their thinking.

Below are the most recent charity fundraising techniques that have come my way. Each non-profit fundraising technique includes the price it was offered to me at, the price I think is reasonable AND what goes through the mind when I am being pitched with the technique (and some suggestions for nonprofits to increase their donation potential).

If you are a non-profit and you read this, please understand that I am a normal guy. I can also tell you that a lot of other people think like me.
