ORDER THE BOOK
Getting Started: Major Gifts 101
An A-Z guide teaching you how to raise major charitable money for your organization. The manual showcases practical approaches that challenge you to work smarter, not harder. Sample documents, cut-and-paste text, and “how-to” guides make this a perpetual point of reference for any fundraising professional.
Chapter highlights include: How to Build Your List, Hallmarks of Remarkable Fundraisers, Advisory Boards, Proposals, Sample Correspondence, Strategic Touch, and many more.
Unlike other manuals that offer “pie-in-the-sky” visions of fundraising, this manual is practical, user-friendly, and written for the development professional who takes great pride in their work and performs with initiative.
