fundraising

So I am interested in becoming a fundraiser, or at least in learning about it. Does anyone here have any experience in this area, or any suggestions where to go get information? I am mostly interested in raising money for animals, but I would like to be able to use the tools and techniques for anything. Thanks bunches!

many non-profits use salesforce software to fund raise & track donors. there are demos and trial downloads available.

you mean a professional fundraiser? Or as a volunteer?

I'll pay you 10% of any money you raise for me.

have classes I wonder... ?

I have known two people in fundraising. Both of them got their entry level jobs right out of college and worked their way up.
