This review is from: How to Produce Fabulous Fundraising Events: Reap Remarkable Returns with Minimal Effort (Book & Diskette) (Paperback)
I am an executive in the financial services industry and have participated with many nonprofits. This book should be required reading for board members, as well as for staff. In particular, the chapter "Choosing the Right Event" is worth the price of the book. It provides valuable guidance on selecting a fundraiser that fits with your community and yields the most revenue for your organization. Don't even think about your next fundraiser until you read this book.

This review is from: How to Produce Fabulous Fundraising Events: Reap Remarkable Returns with Minimal Effort (Book & Diskette) (Paperback)
How to Produce Fabulous Fundraising Events is a wonderful tool for schools or any organization attempting to raise funds. The book includes all the essential elements for effective fundraising: setting goals and choosing, staffing, planning, promoting, staging and evaluating the event. In addition, step-by-step guides are provided for different events and different steps in the fundraising process. Written by full-time volunteers and international trainers, this book is a must-have for anyone dealing with fundraising. Even more time and effort can be saved with the computer disk that contains event forms, letters, lists, budgets, and more needed by fundraising organizations. Truly, this book will pay for itself way before your next event is finished! From The Science Spiders Newsletter, January 2000.

A "must-have" for any group who wants to raise money, Oct 29 1999

This is a fabulous book for any nonprofit group who wants to raise money, involve volunteers, and create community awareness for their cause. The easy to read, step-by-step guide gives the reader confidence and knowledge to easily implement a profitable fundraiser. The book details a dinner event that can be adapted for all nonprofit groups from grassroots efforts to schools, churches, membership and professional associations and large, established agencies. After reading the book, I was excited to organize our organization's Dynamite Dinner Event!
