Getting tax-exempt status for your nonprofit organization is just the first step -- whether its mission will succeed depends entirely on your ability to raise money. Fortunately, Effective Fundraising for Nonprofits will show you how.

Featuring advice and stories from over 40 experienced fundraisers, foundation staffers, journalists and more, the 2nd edition of Effective Fundraising for Nonprofits explains how to:

  • work with individual donors
  • plan special events
  • solicit grants from foundations and corporations
  • get media coverage
  • use the Web to further fundraising goals
  • start a side business to raise funds
  • and much more

    The 3rd edition is updated to reflect the latest studies on who gives the most and why. It also contains new tax figures, the new IRS Form 990, updated resource recommendations and contact information and offers tips for "greening" one's special events.
