If you’re starting a new nonprofit, you already know that you need to raise money. What you might not know is that the right fundraising plan template can make the job much easier. In the beginning you may self-fund your fledgling organization. (Many founders do.) Or you may ask your friends, coworkers, and family to give a few bucks.

For over thirty years, I have integrated “reflection rituals” in my professional work on a daily, weekly, quarterly, and annually basis.
