For their valuable perspectives fundraising, I interviewed more than 30 donors at the highest level, the millions and millions of dollars to various charitable organizations, ministries and organizations. I asked them why some successful fundraiser, while others do not.

On the other hand, these are the qualities and characteristics of the donors felt fundraiser not:

The lack of honesty and trust - Trouble when fundraiser are not fair and not a strong belief in love.

Poor communication - the failure for the next fundraiser not communicate with each other, including communicating the love and constant contact with the donor.

Lack of clear objectives - fundraising, without clear objectives leads to a lack of balance and action.

The lack of integrity - a tip of a donation campaign, the lack of integrity and the donor has slowed, back, or demand answers.

Perceived ingratitude - fundraiser, often a personal thank the donors for the gifts or use as a springboard for the next request.

Letter despair - despair letters are not effective, well-maintained, and quickly forgotten.

Selling pressure - under high pressure from the seller is a serious turn.

The lack of knowledge - fundraiser not because they do not answer the questions that donors ask.

Inaction - Fundraiser Many fail because they do not have the message to enough people.

Waste - Fundraiser fail if they are not for the donor money wisely.

The lack of interest - fundraiser, often the homework necessary to know if the potential donor is interested in self-love.

Inappropriate appreciation - Rejected fundraiser not the time or the need to find out how their donors expected.

Forget the obvious - as a fundraiser from a donor with all the necessary contacts, the donor can not give.

Time - potential donors do not appreciate when fundraiser are insensitive to their time and planning.
