Are you with a Not For Profit? Or maybe just looking for a way to boost your kickstarter or Gofundme page? This is a great book that will step you through EVERY aspect of fundraising.This is a TOOLBOX book that can be used over and over for years.

Great information, but incredibly repetitive (but to their credit, I remembered the really important stuff because of that). It ends up being a pretty dull book. Fundraising CAN be much more exciting and compelling.

I bought the first edition of this book when I finished my training to stay brushed up on the basic, left development for a few years and bought the new edition and it brought me back up to speed. Great resource and a great pace to start.

During the summer of 2013, I took a grad class for school administrators called Institutional Advancement. Achieving Excellence in Fundraising was one of three books I read for this class at CIU. Achieving Excellence in Fundraising is not a small book (500 pages), but it's organized into eight manageable parts consisting of 41 short chapters. Below is how the book is divided.Part 1 - Fundraising: The Art of Relationship BuildingPart 2 - Structuring Your FundraisingPart 3 - Discovering What Donors ValuePart 4 - The Art of Solicitation and StewardshipPart 5 - Involving Volunteers in FundraisingPart 6 - Managing the Fundraising ProcessPart 7 - Ethics and AccountabilityPart 8 - Your Career in FundraisingYou'll also find:A one page of essential texts for nonprofit and public leadership and managementAn instructor's guide that is available free onlineNumerous tables, figures, and exhibits throughout the bookA 15 page glossary of fundraising terms10 pages of referencesAn 18 page indexIf you are looking to cast a compelling vision, creatively build a professional network, and ethically fundraise large sums of money, I believe you'll find Achieving Excellence in Fundraising to be of help. The editors are leaders at the Lily Family School of Philanthropy at Indiana University, headquartered at my alma mater, IUPUI. They explain the major truths, theories, and techniques of fundraising and share what other top leaders in the field have said.

This was an excellent prep source for the CFRE exam. Well organized and easy to follow. Will make a great resource for work as well.

This book is just what I needed to lay the foundation of my understanding of the fundraising world. It has filled in gaps and is very helpful as I chart the fund development course for my nonprofit.

I love this book. It gives a very good and broad understanding of the principles, concepts and methods of philanthropy, and invites you to explore more.

I am new to Grant Proposal writing. Bought this book in anticipation of a class -- was probably ore helpful than the actual class. A great Resource!
