Mahatma Gandhi was an extraordinary fundraiser.

Gandhi never left any public gathering without raising some money for one of his projects. He asked everyone to donate some amount, any amount. He said that it wasn't the amount but the act of giving itself that was important.

The Genesis of Mahatma Gandhi as a Fundriaiser
Mahatma Gandhi, the Fundraiser Mahatma Gandhi believed that the only evidence that one accepts an idea is that he buys a piece of it. He urged women to part with some of the jewelry that they were wearing and he asked the men to donate their shirt-buttons, cuff links, pens or anything that they possessed which was not a basic need. Gandhi would then auction every item, including the gifts or souvenirs that he himself had received.
The Growth of Mahatma Gandhi, the Fundraiser The entire fund so raised would then go to the buying of cotton for weaving clothes for the poor or for supporting one of the projects in a nearby village. Since the items touched by Gandhi, and auctioned by Gandhi himself, fetched high values, Gandhi soon became famous as an extraordinary auctioneer.

Mahatma Gandhi Quotation

"I claim to be a fairly accurate student of human nature and vivisector of my own failings. I have discovered that man is superior to the system he propounds."
- Mahatma Gandhi

"I have learnt through bitter experience the supreme lesson to conserve my anger, and as heat conserved is transmuted into energy, even so our anger controlled can be transmuted into a power which can move the world."
- Mahatma Gandhi

"I have always had a love for the poor all my life and in abundance. I could cite illustration after illustration from my past life that it was something innate in me. I ahve never felt that there was any difference between the poor and me. I have always felt towards them as my kith and kin."
- Mahatma Gandhi
