I. 

Thou shalt only work for a cause in which thou fully believest.

II. Thou shalt always and in all ways protect and foster voluntarism, and place the best interest of donors above all else.  
III.  Thou shalt practice what thou preachest . . . be a good volunteer yourself and make your own gift before helping others to do so.  
IV. 

Thy job is to train volunteers to ask for gifts and lead them in the paths of voluntarism . . . thou art the professional, not the solicitor.

V. 

Thou shalt never assume . . . to assume makes an ass out of u & me.    Never think for a donor (listen to them!)

VI.

Thou shalt have no opinions . . . TEST!

VII.

Thou shalt ignore trends . . . be a leader, set trends!

VIII.

Thou shalt not reinvent the wheel but journey in the tested ways to successful fund raising.

IX.

Thou shalt always run scared and have back-up systems for everything.

X.  And the Lord said:  "be intentional, organized and strategic."
