Lessons from the astonishingly successful Notre Dame fundraising:There has been a lot of interesting writing about the fundraising following the recent fire at Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris. These have included The golden rule of fundraising - the single identifiable beneficiary by Craig Linton, this excellent Twitter thread by Rhodri Davies, In defence of billionaires by Kevin Delaney, and Six things that the Notre-Dame fire has shown us about fundraising by Rebecca Denny.
I would also recommend checking out this excellent Twitter thread by Angela Cluff.
