We aren’t upset when Paramount makes a $200 million movie that flops, but if a charity experiments with a $5 million fundraising event that fails, we call in the attorneys. So charities are petrified of trying bold new revenue-generating endeavors and can’t develop the powerful learning curves the for-profit sector can. Dan Pallotta
I hate generalizing. But what I’ve seen, from what I’ve observed, fundraising’s an issue for women candidates. Ronna McDaniel

Should they shun both Trump and the predominately male evangelical leadership, it may have a ripple effect in these organizations’ fundraising abilities and their ministerial efforts. Anthea Butler
Trump is not a fan of fundraising, but he’s willing to do it. Paul Manafort
Online fundraising is so important to the Democratic Party. John Byrne
You now have six-year campaigns for the Senate – you never stop running.

And that’s driven by the cost of campaigning. Evan Bayh
I’ve done my fair share of fundraising over the years, and I know how difficult that can be, so I could only imagine people’s reaction when I was asking them to part with their hard-earned cash for a movie. Rachel Shenton
Concerned about re-election, interest-group reactions, the media, or fundraising, many legislators have found it in their interest to refuse to cooperate with members of the opposing party – or to treat them as enemies in some kind of war, in which the whole point is to defeat and humiliate them.

When I was in office the fundraising was done by the party treasurers. John Major

Our privacy is starting to be invaded and we can’t get anything done. I’m happy with the fundraising but upset we don’t have time to talk and meet with people. Terry Fox
Baking has always been such a good thing for fundraising, because everyone’s got stuff in the back of their cupboards they use for baking, so it’s using up stuff you’ve already got, baking it, then selling it for a good cause. That’s brilliant! Joe Sugg
This is pure speculation, but for a period of time, a lot of getting into a party was through fundraising and volunteer work, and Republican women had more time to do that than democratic women, who were out there getting jobs. Madeleine Albright

I can’t predict the future of football. I don’t think it’ll go the way of boxing because it’s a team sport. It’s built into our education systems, the flagship for a lot of universities’ fundraising campaigns. So no, I don’t think it’ll go away. Chris Borland
Charity fundraising galas have always been a wonderful way to support a myriad of causes. Louise Linton
I think what people are really crying out for is simple information they can trust when they’re bombarded by attack ads, fundraising pitchers and all sort of comment and opinion all over the place increasingly. Steve Hilton

In an era when party fundraising is badly tainted, dinners are a really good way of raising cash for campaigning.

Lucy Powell

Fundraising is very, very time-consuming. Arlen Specter
