Editorial Review:

Book 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.

- 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. It's packed with information, web sites, references, real-world examples, and recommendations. And it's up-to-date. If you're working for or with a non-profit, you need this book.
