Product Description
Valuable techniques to maximize your fundraising efforts
In this era of financial cutbacks and reduced government spending, nonprofit groups must implement effective fundraising strategies to stay in operation.

From the Back Cover
Maximize your fundraising efforts and get the support you need
In this current era of increased financial cutbacks, smaller donations, and reduced government spending, competition for individual, corporate, and foundation support for nonprofits is fiercer than ever. In order to survive, you and your organization must put aside common but self-defeating misconceptions, establish clear goals, and implement techniques guaranteed to put you ahead of the pack.
Fundraising, Second Edition, shows how your nonprofit organization can design and run successful fundraising campaigns. You'll find sound, effective strategies and insider tips for cultivating potential donors, building a powerful case for your drive, soliciting large gifts, obtaining foundation grants, creating direct mail packages, and implementing high-profile, imaginative campaigns that top consultants use to get results. Edles reveals the six requirements that successful drives can't do without, the most (and least) powerful ways to ask for funds, the crucial steps to follow before a campaign goes public, and advice on training and energizing your volunteer force, and cutting costs. This new edition includes:
- Updated examples, case studies, and statistical data
- New chapters on using the Internet and eBay to boost your fundraising results
- Using advances in technology and e-campaigning techniques to further your goals
- How to market your campaign and build a communications plan
- Sample grant proposals, letters, solicitation dialogues, gift expectation tables, pledge cards, press releases, and other valuable campaign tools

5.0 out of 5 stars
Covers the waterfront of campaigning, Feb 6 2006
By C.J. Eaton - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Fundraising: Hands-On Tactics for Nonprofit Groups (Paperback)
I was very impressed with how different this book is compared to others I've read in the field and see why it's in its second edition. It discusses the incredible number of subjects needed to run a succesful campaign-in order and in-depth, but without being overwhelming. The chapters on how to train volunteeer and how to solicit large gifts, areas we've always struggled with, are totally unique and will be especially beneficial to our organization. Also, the author writes with style and wit. Highly recommended.

Well worth it, Feb 13 2008
By Sara Bellum - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Fundraising: Hands-On Tactics for Nonprofit Groups (Paperback)
I've been involved with environmental nonprofits for years, and also run my own small business, and I found this book extremely helpful. The book was easy to read (in other words, I wasn't asleep within the first few paragraphs; the author can actually write as well as talk about fundraising) and with a lot of detailed, specific information, and I think it is an excellent buy for both the beginner and more advanced person interested - or already experienced - in nonprofit fundraising. Insightful, savvy, and worth the price, I highly recommend it.
