Adorning the Bond party at the Institute of Fundraising convention last week were
some original film posters that had been doctored to make them more appropriate 
to fundraising. This entailed no more than taking out one word or syllable and replacing
it with the word ‘fund’ or ‘fundraiser(s)’.

So we had ‘Fundraisers are forever’, ‘The fundraiser who loved me’ and ‘Goldfunder’

Robin Packmann of Rapidata and I were discussing these efforts, generally thinking
that they were pretty obvious and surely we could come up with some better fundraising
takes on Bond films.

Well it turns out it’s bloody difficult to turn a Bond film title into something
related to fundraising. All I could produce were:

Licensed to Carry Out a Street Collection

From Your Stewardship Account Director, With Love

Â£2 via a DRTV Ad to Save the World Is Not Enough

And

You Only Live Twice, once for yourself and once for your dreams – is the perfect
slogan for Remember a Charity.

Robin – care to share the fruits of your labours? Anyone else fancy a go?

Perhaps a more fruitful angle would be to adapt Bond quotes to fundraising. Cascaid’s
Alan Clayton came up with the perfect Bondesque fundraising quote to get the ball
rolling.

Talking about gifts in kind, Bond says: ‘As long as the dollars and stuff match.’

Inspired.
