As nonprofit organizations face heightened scrutiny by the general public, donors, regulators, and members of Congress, the Third Edition of the essential book on the basics of fundraising provides new, up-to-date and valuable information that every fundraiser needs to know. With ethics and accountability being the primary theme of the third edition, this practical guide will continue to provide an overview of the field and give development staff, managers, and directors a platform from which to operate their fundraising programs. The new expanded edition also provides much needed information on developing a case for support, giving trends, donor motivations, planning, setting up a development operation, impact of new technologies on fundraising, return on investment estimates, workflow timetables, and the importance of the Internet. This primer remains a must-have for anyone new -- staff or volunteer -- to the fundraising field, those wishing to expand their fundraising knowledge, those working in supporting foundations, or those contemplating taking the CFRE exam.
