Overview

Are you a staff member, a board member or a volunteer of a faith-based, human service, arts, or other nonprofit organization that needs additional funds to accomplish its mission?

Are there not enough hours in the day to raise the money your agency needs?

Do your colleagues not have the expertise or interest to generate the needed dollars?

Do you need a quick source of practical information about ways to raise funds?

Then you need The Essential Nonprofit Fundraising Handbook.

This book is for individuals who are dedicated to helping their communities but who need useful recommendations on how to raise money. Written by two of America's foremost fundraising experts, you will learn how to:
• Develop a clear, efficient fundraising plan.
• Ask for contributions from individuals.
• Target businesses, foundations, and government agencies.
• Hold special events.
• Conduct a Capital Campaign.
• And lots more!

How many times has a well-meaning board member suggested that you do a golf tournament (gala dinner dance, art auction, walkathon) because the Girl Scouts (local hospital, Rotarians, PBA) scored big with theirs-only no one has any experience with such an event?

With The Essential Nonprofit Fundraising Handbook, you'll learn exactly what to do, step by step, to pull off a successful event of any kind or size, or to raise badly needed funds in a wide variety of other ways.
