Raising Funds for Nonprofits
Fundraising for nonprofits takes time and patience. It requires a great copy, a good list of potential donors, and other relevant things.
Some say it takes 18 months before you receive the funds. It could be challenging at the start. You just need to be consistent, persistent, and dedicated enough to succeed.
