		<description><![CDATA[This new decade heralds significant changes for Donor Relations and its influence on fund-raising success.  We see that these emerging trends share a common theme:  to build better relationships with donors as a means of fostering greater giving.  As is the case with all relationships in our current crowded, information-saturated world, the emphasis will be on the quality, not the quantity, of donor interactions.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The internet, and associated social media, may prove to be good outlets for building cyber versions of a “philanthropy center,” a destination dedicated to the celebration of donors.  Particularly in providing avenues for those who either have no physical space for traditional donor recognition or are interested in exploring new methods for engaging donors and potential donors alike.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In a recent survey of GEAC members, who are responsible for fundraising and communication efforts at the state’s colleges and universities, we learned a lot about methods and attitudes related to non facility-based gift recognition. By that term I mean, gifts aimed at named chairs, professorships and scholarships as opposed to those that name a room or building.

The results reveal a very large discrepancy between how often facility-based namings are publicly recognized when compared to non facility-based giving.  This is not right and really makes no sense in today’s economy.]]></description>
