For many nonprofits, the first effort to solicit individuals for donations is a milestone.

But it's also a process that can bring up tough questions: How do you ask, who should get a solicitation, and what is the best way to thank donors?

In the new episode of Fundraising Fundamentals, you'll get the answers to these and other questions about first-time campaigns during a conversation with two fundraising experts: Tyler Wilson, executive director of the Power of Play Foundation, which supports needy children in North Carolina, and Pamela Grow, a fundraising consultant and author of Simple Development Systems: Successful Fundraising for the One-Person Shop.

Tony Martignetti, a consultant, author, blogger, and host of Tony Martignetti Nonprofit Radio, talks with nonprofit leaders and consultants about how organizations can more effectively raise money, build better relationships with boards and supporters, and manage volunteers.
