Product Description
Product Description
In today's uncertain environment, where nonprofits find themselves grappling with the continued dowturn in the economy, the ongoing war on terrorism, government's cutbacks in social services, and a wave of organizational scandals--groups everywhere are straining to keep up with the increased demand for their services while struggling to generate funding.
Fundraising in Times of Crisis draws on renowned consultant Kim Klein's more than twenty-five years of fundraising experience. This much-needed resource shows troubled groups how to identify what is really going on and how to assess the damage. Fundraising in Times of Crisis helps executive directors and development professionals of nonprofit organizations plan for both the short and long term and explains how to evaluate the success of their efforts. Checklists, tips, action steps and a wealth of examples walk you through the process of self-assessment and map out a road to recovery. No matter what your particular crisis--the sudden loss of an executive director, a public scandal, a major donor attrition, or a daunting increase in the demand for services--this book will show you how to survive and thrive in tough times.

Down-to-earth fundraising wisdom,
By Andy Robinson (Plainfield, VT) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Fundraising in Times of Crisis (Paperback)
Kim Klein probably knows more about grassroots fundraising than anyone in the world. This, her latest book, is relentlessly practical -- it offers step by step ideas for cleaning up your organizational act and raising the money you need to do your work -- but what I appreciate most is its tone. Reading Fundraising in Times of Crisis is like having a conversation with a smart, sympathetic friend who asks good questions and encourages you, with her guidance, to figure out the answers that work best for you.Many, many nonprofits could benefit from reading this book -- whether they're "in crisis" or not.
