This document discusses developing inspiring fundraising propositions that can work globally. It outlines three key thoughts for developing propositions locally, nationally, and globally. Examples are provided of propositions that have worked well for different organizations both within and across countries. The document emphasizes that while small regional differences exist, universal human motivations for giving, like making a difference or belonging, are more important. Translating propositions effectively across languages and cultures can help propositions work globally.
