Mark Henstock, Fundraising Director at War on Want, aptly summed up many fundraisers’
thoughts on the subject of signing numerous non-disclosure agreements, particularly
in the current climate of online fundraising business proposals.

Writing on the e-fundraising group discussion list this morning he said: “In my 
naive youth I wasted many hours meeting people who had a fundraising idea so brilliant,
they would only discuss it face to face. I now think that a fundraising technique’s
effectiveness is inversely proportional to its level of secrecy.”
