(SAVANNAH, GA) Fundraising TIP BY ROBIN GOLD: In a down economy, it is especially important to keep cultivating your current donor base. Old donors already believe in your cause, so keeping them will be easier than trying to attract new donors. Always seek new donors, but hang on to the old ones dearly.
