This book is about the acquiring of donated gifts/contributions for nonprofit organizations. It is not about “fundraisers” — ticket or product sales. The intent of this book is to help you develop an understanding of what comprises, and how to be successful at “legitimate” fundraising, and, therefore, to be better able to ensure your nonprofit’s future.
