Sharpe, Ms Marjorie

At the end of the day, donors are just people. And people go through their days moving between their three natural dimensions – the intellectual, the emotional and the spiritual. If we really want to connect deeply with our donors, we must learn to reach their heads, their hearts AND their souls. For the first time ever, this book tells fundraisers how to connect with donors in all three dimensions. The economics of philanthropy is actually startlingly simple. Loyal donors are the economic engine of any charity's database. Donor loyalty has become the holy grail of fundraising. 3D Philanthropy is really a donor loyalty handbook. To understand 3D Philanthropy is to know how to build donor loyalty. Fundraisers who do that right will be the ones who prosper.

3D Philanthropy: Make your donors love you by connecting with their minds, hearts and souls.

The Mousehouse Years is a graphic memoir set primarily in the slums of Toronto in the early sixties. It tells the turbulent story of a dysfunctional romance, a single mother raising six children and a childhood filled with adversity and adventure. This fascinating tale takes us inside a "large but broken family whose children years later, gather around the cocooned figure of their mother as she lays swaddled in sheets on her deathbed. The drawings are uniquely unpretentious and intuitive, like the drawings of a child. This instinctive pictorial dimension is the eye of the story, giving testament to the past, a past inspired in turns by disappointments or rejoicings, in a world filled with its own share of the ominous and hilarious which filled the author at times with dread, at times with wonderment and incredulity, leaving their ghosts of memory as vivid imprints on her and now on us, haunting and unforgettable. ...This maverick graphic memoir, told with a distinctive, original voice and seen through an unblinking, unrelenting eye, reweaves the past clearly without adulation or censure, judgement or despair, the sun always there at the author's back. - excerpt from the Foreward by Rachel Manley, Governor General award winning author of the memoirs 'Drumblair', 'Slipstream' and 'Horses in Her Hair'

The main objective of nonprofit organizations is not just to spend as little as possible, but to resolve problems such as hunger in the world, poverty, disease, the loneliness of the elderly, or the suffering of a child. Resolving these problems requires a lot of money, investment, skills and professionalism. All this is the outcome of fundraising! Unfortunately, what is still taught today - by advisory bodies, the mass media, and even by the very same nonprofit organizations who tell donors "our overheads are very low" - is that low fundraising costs are synonymous with an ethical approach to managing an organization. Nonprofit organizations do an excellent job with the few resources they have available, but if we want them to do more we need to give them more freedom to fundraise. We need to give them greater freedom to invest in fundraising. I think that the ethical paradigm proposed by most opinion leaders - namely that lower expenses equals better organizations - is unethical. Even, dare I say it, immoral. This paradigm is a major obstacle to the progress of the nonprofit sector, and thus to the resolution of problems that afflict our society and our lives. Fundraising is the primary method for providing support to your cause and sustaining your organization over time. Fundraising does not just mean getting as many funds as possible. Above all it is about making your organization as free and independent as possible. Praise for Melandri Fundraising: "Melandri offers readers the benefits of his wealth of practical experience as one of Europe's leading fundraisers. But the real reason to buy and use this book is the unique fusion he offers of academic research and the very best of that professional experience and practice. Our sector is awash with 'how-to' texts, but Melandri Fundraising truly elevates our learning to the next level allowing readers to reflect on relevant theory and research that should be informing the way that they practice their art. Melandri has created a powerful resource that will offer value for even the most seasoned of professionals." Adrian Sargeant, PhD Professor of Fundraising and Director Hartsook Centre for Sustainable Philanthropy University of Plymouth, United Kingdom “Valerio has been a catalyst in the Italian fundraising sector for many years and his latest book strengthens his reputation as a great teacher with a 360-degree perspective on how to fundraise at the highest level. This is a book to read and put into practice immediately.” Chris Innes, Head of International Global Fundraising, Save the Children International "Thank you, Valerio, for this powerful call to action. Keep reading, folks. This book is full of so much information and advice." Simone P. Joyaux, ACFRE, Adv Dip

In his landmark book, Emotionraising, Francesco Ambrogetti was the first to tell us how to astonish, disturb, seduce, and convince the brain to support good causes. He gathered the best in neuroscience and behavioural science research to show us the theory and on-the-ground proof that emotion works. Now in Hooked on a Feeling — How the passion and devotion for good causes become memories and identities, he closes the loop and explains why and how we must convert responses to society’s chronic problems into long-term relationships that will lead to long-term solutions. Leading-edge insights for forward-thinking fundraisers.
