Product Description:
Getting tax-exempt status for your nonprofit organization is just the first step -- whether its mission will succeed depends entirely on your ability to raise money. Fortunately, Effective Fundraising for Nonprofits will show you how.

Featuring advice and stories from over 40 experienced fundraisers, foundation staffers, journalists and more, Effective Fundraising for Nonprofits explains how to:

  • work with individual donors
  • plan special events
  • solicit grants from foundations and corporations
  • get media coverage
  • use the Web to further fundraising goals
  • start a side business to raise funds
  • and much more

    The book also covers IRS rules and regulations, grassroots strategies for struggling nonprofits, the tools and staffing needed, and dozens of resources that you can take advantage of.

    Best of all, Effective Fundraising for Nonprofits is written in plain English, cutting out the jargon and 'consultant speak' that's all too common in many nonprofit books.

    Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Well-written, exceptionally informative
    This is an excellent textbook and reference book on fundraising for non-profits. I recently joined the board of a non-profit and knew nothing about fundraising, but this book got me up to speed very quickly. The author treats you like a reasonably intelligent person, in contrast to some other primers that are too cutesy, and she writes in plain English and avoids jargon.

    Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Good Book for Start-Up Non-Profits
    I found this book VERY helpful. In fact, I was so fascinated with it, I couldn't put it down. It was like a good novel. I immediately changed some of my thank you letters and re-did my Corporate request for funding letter. I will continue to use it's suggestions. The book is well written and not full of 'filler info', but very solid recommendations that one can put to use right away.
