We couldn’t resist the urge to imagine how Shakespeare would respond to us lesser mortals, if he were a donor.
1. When you ask what exactly non-linear scale is

2. When you share a detailed agenda for the two-day site visit that has been rescheduled for the fifth time

3. When you tell a prospective donor your fundraising targets for the year

4. When you’re given eight hours to turn around a grant proposal and you ask if you can submit it the following morning instead

5. When you create an exhaustive report but the donor’s logo isn’t big enough

6. When you finally gather the courage to make a request for unrestricted funding

7. When you ask if you can expect to receive the next tranche of your grant on time
