The early duck gets the worm
Fundraisers who were quick off the mark are now reaping rich rewards from the Internet, which they have realised they can make use of in a variety of ways. But as always, how you do it is as important as what you do. Now you have the chance to study some of the best internet fundraising from around the world, to learn which idea you can borrow and benefit from, yourself.
