Philanthropy has the power to transform society, and fundraisers, like you, play a major role in this process. The BE the CAUSE Campaign embodies the importance and impact of a profession that values ethical and effective fundraising in the world and works in the interest of the public good. The campaign demonstrates what fundraisers do and why we do it.
- Because education, training, mentoring, and research empower fundraisers.
- Because ethical and effective fundraising strengthen causes.
