Synopsis

Are you a board member whose organization is contemplating a capital campaign? Do you wonder what's expected of you and whether you'll be able to reach your fundraising goal? At last, here's an authoritative but accessible guide for board members, offering a readable and thorough blueprint for how to conduct a capital or endowment campaign. Calling on 25 years of experience working with thousands of board members, Stuart Grover offers a step-by-step approach to conducting campaigns. He provides both practical knowledge and inspiration to those men and women he characterizes as "the heroes who create a better community." In a conversational style, Grover leads his readers toward the rewarding sense of fulfillment that community service offers.
