Book Description
Successful fundraising provides more than financing. In asking for money, you tell people about the needs of your community and how your organization is meeting those needs. That can result in new donations, new volunteers and new friends for your organization. Raising at least a portion of the budget from local donors can also increase financial independence. This series of these books gives practical guidance on getting started: it shows how good fundraisers think and what questions they ask, with many examples from organizations in developing countries. It can help organizations anywhere give their activities a boost.
The stronger your organization, the more attractive it will be to funders. This book focuses on building credibility as a way to make successful fundraising happen, and gives an introduction to raising the money you need when you need it. Helps in evaluating sources of strength, working with the board and others, and beginning to evolve a long-range plan.
