    Posted 11-10-2016 06:29 PM

    A question to members who are doing direct mail for organizations that are fundraising – Have these organizations shared any information with you in regards to their response/donations being down as a result of the Presidential Election?

     

    Feel free to respond here or if you prefer you can email me directly at Brad@....

     

    Sincerely,

    Brad Salerno

    Brad,

    While there may be some negative, immediate impact in the aftermath of the election, I have not heard anyone talking about curtailing their activities as a result. And, if the run up in the financial markets is any indication, folks should have some free cash that fund raisers could tap into right now.

    Warren Buffett advises when everyone else is fearful, be bold. When everyone else is bold, be fearful.

    I'd advise my clients, accordingly.

    Cheers,
    Marc
