[TheThinkTank] Mission Statements and Fundraising Pitches

Hey pals, we're working on raising funds and I'll probably be doing a fair amount of outreach both on the ThinkTank and individually to ask for help and guidance. First questions:

1. What's your mission statement? Green light go.
2. What do you feel are the three most important parts of your fundraising

strategies for local granting orgs, city agencies, and deep-pocketed individuals? 3) What is one lesson you've learned about fundraising that you wish you'd known when you started out?
