You want to build relationships with donors. What's the best way to get started?
I once supported a school by putting up a new toilets for the students. It was a good CSR project. After a year or so, the head teacher called me to say how academic results of the students had sky rocketed. She attributed it to the humble toilets we built. The kids did not have to go home during the day any more. Staying at school made them work harder. I did not expect that at all and I felt really happy and proud. They did not ask for more money, but they got it! Appreciation helps.
