The Fundraising Series

This book is about the acquiring of donated gifts/contributions for nonprofit organizations. It is not about "fundraisers"-- ticket or product sales. The intent of this book is not to provide a “how to” for raising money, but to help you develop the mindset necessary to be successful at “legitimate” fundraising.

Everyone loves a good event, but not everyone will have the ingredients to make it happen. This book is designed to help you determine whether special events are right for your nonprofit; and, how to be sure that your event is unique/memorable, not just another dinner, luncheon or auction.

This book – this entire series – is written and intended for nonprofit board members, staff and volunteers to help them understand what real nonprofit fundraising is all about … and what it’s not. It is the author’s intention to address some of the most common questions raised by board members, staff and volunteers.
