FundRaising Success Wants Your Input on Today in Fundraising

By Margaret Battistelli Gardner

By now, you've noticed some changes in the format of what was once known as the FS Advisor. It's now called Today in Fundraising and hits your inbox every day (as opposed to weekly). Each issue features a number of news headlines from around the sector in addition to one feature on strategy, etc.

Today in Fundraising has been around for about a month now, so we'd like to get your feedback on it, as well as on other FundRaising Success-related items. (Look for surveys on the magazine itself and on webinars in the near future.)

Would you take a moment to answer some questions in our informal reader survey? You can, of course, leave your comments here. Or you can cut and paste the questions into an e-mail and send your responses to me at mbattistelli@napco.com.
