All too often, nonprofit boards look at mission, planning, and evaluation in isolation. This book, however, offers an integrated approach. A regular and consistent planning process helps the board and staff clarify mission and make changes when necessary to keep mission fresh, lively, and relevant. A systematic evaluation process generates information to help formulate goals and provide the framework for measuring those goals against mission.

When it comes to fundraising, a lot is obvious to professional fundraisers. You know, for instance, that you won't secure big gifts by writing letters. You know that special events can be an iffy way to raise money. You know you can't ignore individuals and rely solely on corporations and foundations. You know ... but do your board members and volunteers? Do they know what works in fundraising and what doesn't? Many don't, which is why Fundraising Mistakes that Bedevil All Boards (and Staff Too) is a great eye opener. Kay Sprinkel Grace dissects the wrongheaded thinking behind 44 of the most common mistakes in fundraising. Your board may think that publicity raises money, or that tax deductibility is a powerful incentive, or that it's impolite to ask for a specific amount. You know better. But until your board does, what's "obvious" to them can derail your progress. Nicely complements David Lansdowne's book, Fund Raising Realities Every Board Member Must Face.

WHEN IT COMES TO FUNDRAISING, how do you make the very best use of your volunteers' time? You communicate exactly what they need to know to raise money - and no more. In The Busy Volunteer's Guide to Fundraising, Kay Sprinkel Grace homes in on the truths and nothing but the truths about what works in fundraising, and what doesn't. Having worked with tens of thousands of volunteers, Grace knows better than to bog them down with pages and pages of theory. Instead, she delivers the essential how-to's in a jargon-free, one-hour-to-read book that achieves three things: 1) It opens eyes and dispels a host of misunderstandings about raising money, 2) It shows that it doesn't takes hours and hours of preparation to succeed at fundraising, and, 3) It empowers volunteers to get about the task at once. Complements the book, Asking, by Jerold Panas.

The Busy Volunteer's Guide to Fundraising: The Truths and Nothing But the Truths about Raising Money for Your Cause

The most frustrating problem for many organizations is a board that won't participate in fundraising, except perhaps to sell a raffle ticket or brick. I'll do anything but ask for money, they insist. But if your organization is to thrive, that has to change. Kay Sprinkel Grace, one of America's premier board consultants, has heard every fundraising excuse. Still, she is convinced you can transform your board into a fundraising force if, among other things, you inspire them with your mission, communicate the full scope of fundraising, and, perhaps most importantly, strive to uncover ways board members are willing to assist. For instance, will they master the basic elevator speech and share it widely? Will they bring people to events? Will they share their list of friends and acquaintances? Will they accompany the CEO on a foundation visit? Will they participate in thank-you calling or gratitude committees to connect with donors? In other words, to increase your board's fundraising prowess, says Grace, you have to ensure your organization is accommodating to individual styles. When it is, board members will engage more fully and their confidence and their PQ - Passion Quotient - will begin to blossom.
