At HGAFundraising, we are always looking for ways to make fundraising more efficient and effective so that non-profits of all sizes can raise as much as possible for their cause. Many of the non-profits we work with have committees and teams dedicated to fundraising, but some have just a few people in charge of fundraising events.
