Fundraisers Channeling Fred Rogers by Sophie Penney, PhD

Hello and welcome to Fundraiser’s Channeling Fred Rogers. You may have clicked on this page for many reasons:

  • Maybe you grew up watching Fred Rogers or
  • Your children loved him or the
  • Recent Google doodle or a film reminded you of his life and legacy.

Whatever the reason for your visit, you will read about qualities that I believe Mr. Rogers possessed which, from my perspective, apply to the work done by fundraisers. These thoughts are mine and mine alone. They are based on having spent a day with Fred Rogers as well as watching documentaries and reading about his life and legacy.

FYI I don’t assume that I have all the answers. I ask you for your thoughts and perspectives at the end of each of the section. Here’s hoping that you will take a moment to respond to one or more questions.

Thanks again for requesting the e-book, I look forward to hearing from you.
