About this title

From the Back Cover

Praise for

Strategic FUND Development

THIRD EDITION

"Simone Joyaux's Strategic Fund Development is a well-worn book in my professional library. I consult it often and frequently refer it to colleagues, both those experienced and those new to the field."

—Angela G. Powers, Senior Vice President of Development, Stewartship & Donor Services, The Community Foundation for Greater New Haven

"It takes moxie to call out professional and organizational indifference, courage to question the role and use of power in fundraising, and wisdom to identify what makes a good fundraiser exceptional. Simone's is a powerful voice in our field, and we must listen."

—Sharilyn Hale, MA, CFRE, Chair, CFRE International

"I admire this book. It's not just about raising money, it's about building strong organizations. And without strong organizations, you can't raise money. If you're an executive director or CEO looking to better understand fund development, this is an excellent resource. The chapter on strategic planning and how to enable your board members to help with fundraising will prove valuable on its own. A great contribution to the sector."

—E.H. Guy Mallabone, MA, CFRE, President and CEO, Global Philanthropic Canada

"In asking the reader to question everything, Simone continually reminds us of the connection between leadership, mission and meaning."

—Gary A. Kelsey, EdD, Program Director and Professor, Master of Arts in Philanthropy and Development, Saint Mary's University of Minnesota

From the Inside Flap

"Does our organization have a vision and is it shared by staff, board, and volunteers? Are we unique enough to make a difference and attract dollars? If contributions are slowing down, what is it about our organization that is failing to find an audience? What could we do to attract more volunteers? How do our stakeholders view us? Does our board regularly discuss the implications of trends and the consequences of possible choices? Are we constantly ensuring that our organization is relevant?"

—From Strategic Fund Development,
