Many of you are probably working on some aspect of grant writing and/or fundraising right now. I know I am. So I was really interested in this short article published over at Network for Good on 6 words every nonprofit should avoid. I'm not going to say a lot about it, since it's a pretty self-explanatory piece, except this: all 6 words show up (often) in my most recent grant application.
Damn.
Having read this, I seriously doubt I am going to eliminate using these words, but I will be more cognizant of how I use them and the frequency with which I use them.
I'm also interested in any other words folks thing are horribly overused or misused in our work. Please add them in the Comments if you think of any!

Well fundraising campaign
Well fundraising campaign depends on how you communicate with prospect donors because if this group got inspired, then you will get the funds otherwise not. I hope by avoiding 6 words mentioned above, everyone can create a successful fundraising campaign. Thanks
