About this title

From the Back Cover

Fundraising for Social Change is one of the most widely used books on fundraising in the United States. Fundraising practitioners rely on it for hands-on, specific, and accessible fundraising techniques, and it has become a required text in dozens of college courses around the country. This fourth edition takes Fundraising for Social Change to new levels of usefulness, with added chapters on the relationship of the Development Director and Executive Director, using the Internet, and making a career of social change fundraising. There are also expanded chapters on the topics that have made this book a classic: asking for money, planning and conducting major gifts campaigns, using direct mail effectively, conducting capital and endowment campaigns for small groups, and much, much more.

"Kim's clearly written and accessible Fundraising for Social Change lays out both how to think about and how to carry out individual donor fundraising, capital campaigns, and special events. If your organization is trying to find a way to develop a base of financial support independent of the whims and fancies of finicky foundations, this is the book for you" - Gary Delgado, Applied Research Center

"This book is the Bible for grassroots fundraisers. Any time we get a question on individual donor fundraising we say, 'Have you checked what Kim says?'" - June Rostan, Southern Empowerment Project
