The Getting Giving Blog is a collection of ideas, commentary and occasional rants about the fundraising profession and related topics. Consisting of both original and linked content, Getting Giving strives to provide its audience with information to provoke thought, new ideas and increased effectiveness.

Jeff Lindauer (that's me) has nearly twenty years of experience in the profession and is currently associate vice president for development at a large university foundation. Additionally, he provides counsel to a variety of organizations on a part-time basis while juggling life with two young children.
