Written for new or grassroots organizations, this book packs in practical and legal guidance to every aspect of getting financial support for a charitable organization, whether from foundation grants, individual donors, special events, online methods such as crowdfunding and auctions, and so on. The 8th edition is completely updated to reflect recent fundraising trends, such as a rise in the proportion of gifts coming from wealthy donors owing to tax changes. It also suggests ways to shift from a desperation mindset to one of tapping into abundance.     384 pages pb
