@ShanRafferty | As a person who researches wealthy people, this was an interesting read: What It’s Really Like to Be a Billionaire
- @ElizabethHRoma @StoryDistillery | Also a good reminder for prospect research: don’t assume someone isn’t philanthropic just because you don’t see giving. “@IUPhilanthropy reports 84% of wealthy donors want anonymity after giving. Nonprofits need to consider this in donor narratives.”
