The 20 Gift Campaign offers a compelling challenge to conventional fundraising practice. It brings leadership, vision, and donor relationships back to the center of philanthropy.

PROFESSOR COLLEGE OF THE DESERT
John Shimer changed the way I think about fundraising. Instead of asking how we could reach more donors, we began asking which relationships could truly change the future of our organization.
