Why Cash Is Not King featuring Dr. Russell James

Why Cash is Not King in Fundraising - The psychology and economics of noncash gifts

Dr. Russell James talks a lot about heroes and rarely do we have the opportunity to shine the hero light on him. His commitment to philanthropy and best practices for fundraisers continues to make a lasting impact in the communities they serve. Dr. James’ free sharing of knowledge is one of the reasons we are so proud to share this presentation.

This fascinating presentation shares the discovery of comprehensive research from 1 million Nonprofit Tax Returns. The powerful insight predicts current and long-term fundraising growth when nonprofits are intentional in their pursuit of non-cash assets. Dr. James explores the practical and psychological aspects of the non-cash asset gift for high-growth fundraising and “how-to” strategies.
