Friday's Wall Street Journal highlighted Sotheby's up-coming Sotheby's Red which expects to raise $28 million dollars from art pieces donated by folks Bono was able to tap. Hooray for Bono and his causes but are there other lessons here?
Does every nonprofit board need a Bono to be truly financially successful?
Does the method matter more than the cause to be truly financially successful?
If big problems (like those Bono attacks) need big fundraising, what's left for the smaller problems if anything?
