At nonprofits, asking for money becomes part of the job - The Boston Globe: "When Gina Purtell became director of Mass Audubon's Allens Pond Wildlife Sanctuary in Dartmouth, it seemed like her dream job. She envisioned spending her days clearing woods, building trails, and counting birds at the property's 1,000 acres of salt marsh, coastal oak woodlands, and grasslands.
But she didn't realize that she was also expected to beg patrons for cash. At first, soliciting donors 'definitely felt uncomfortable, and I was very hesitant and resistant, even resentful,' Purtell said. 'I was like, 'That's not my job!' '"
