To be a fundraiser isn’t a vocation–it’s a verdict. | AFP Greater Toronto Chapter Blog: Any vocation can be reduced to its mechanics. Some priests joke, rather darkly in my opinion, about hatching, matching and dispatching the members of their respective congregations over the course of their respective lifetimes. But they jest. They too, are about transformation.
To paraphrase another artist, there are two kinds of fundraisers: Those who like people, and those who don’t. A fundraiser who likes people (ideally employed at an organization that treats people accordingly) is about transformation. A fundraiser who doesn’t like people is focused narrowly on raising funds, having forgotten it (transformation) in people.
