AF/Operating
The most important
often involves direct mail, phonathons, and other annual “-athons” (walkathons, bikeathons, etc.)
keep this as unrestricted as possible
Endowment
The keel of the ship, it helps you weather tough times
Funds invested with only a portion of the interest thrown off used as income
Be careful to not over restrict! (Churches with Easter flowers but no money for plumbing)

objections before you start soliciting. – gets you talking to people who’s lives don’t
revolve around your organization

quiet but not too quiet
Leadership/Special/Major
disciplined work, walking out the plan
Public
