Boards That Love Fundraising: How To Guide { Repost }

kalyan1232008 — Wed, 06 May 2009 17:32:34 GMT

This book is a must for board members and anyone who works with boards. This book lays out a number of alternatives and makes all seem doable. I especially appreciated the 'investing in social enterprises' concept of giving versus the more typical begging on bended knee for what are essential critical services to the community. The exercises are clearly explained and the language is straightforward and easy to follow. The underlying concepts go far to removing the mystery and fear of asking for money. The board recruitment grid, the fundraising planning section, working with consultants and the costs and evaluation sections appeal to my structured way of thinking.
