Customer Rating: Summary: Very helpful Comment: This was an opportunity to get in the shoes of a seasoned fund raiser. I laughed at the parts where she told stories of events gone wrong and why. Well written and lots of good advice. Customer Rating: Summary: Fundraising for Non-Profits Comment: A good basic book for non profits. Not a lot of specific how-to's, but good principles to follow. Definitely a good read for people new to the business of fund raising. Read this one along with several other books on the subject for a broader view and more "how-to's".
Customer Rating: Summary: Helpful resource guide Comment: As someone who is involved in helping nonprofits do fundraising, I think Keegan's book is a fairly helpful resource. Most successful was its straightforward tips on how to involve the community-at-large in a nonprofit campaign. Customer Rating: Summary: This book is awesome! Comment: Most of the nonprofit "help" books are very dry, but this one is very readable. The information is extremely helpful and directly addresses the difficulties that we have to overcome in fundraising, particularly the "I hate to ask people for money" syndrome. I love that in places, the author says, "here is the attitude you may have.. but... get over it!" and then proceeds to tell you how TO approach things with humor and good advice. If you do fundraising or work with a group that does fundraising, you will find great information and ideas in this book! Customer Rating: Summary: Best fundraising book on the market Comment: A thoughtful, humorous account of the world of grassroots fundraising. The author brings her experience, warmth and humor to this very important book on fundraising. It is an excellent tool for non profit agencies. I recommend it for any non-profit agency staff member or volunteer board member that wants to break out of the fundraising doldrums into fundraising excellence.
