Adopting new words can help, but if there is nothing under pinning them, then it is too shallow, and the change you desire won’t really take root. So do you really understand the words you use?

Emotion and belief : the essential ingredients for fundraisers

Your donors… really are gold dust as it’s not what they give it’s who they share with…the time of the emotional fundraiser has come.
