Description
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 funds your agency needs? Do your colleagues not have the expertise or interest to raise the cash needed? 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 funds. Written by two prominent fundraising experts, you will learn how to: * Develop a clear, efficient fundraising plan. * Ask for contributions from individuals. * Raise funds from businesses, foundations and government departments. * Hold special events. * 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 etc because the Boy Scouts/local hospital/etc did well 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.
