Description
Over one quarter of Americans volunteers with nonprofits. And one of the most crucial services they can provide is to raise money.
The Volunteers' Guide to Fundraising is a comprehensive but accessible guide to raising money for a group, cause or workplace, written for both volunteers and staff who aren't necessarily professional fundraisers. Containing insights and stories from a team of nonprofit experts, including event planners, dedicated school parents, accountants, lawyers, and group leaders, the book explains both the practical and the fun, creative aspects of fundraising.
PTA presidents, parents of children who belong to music groups or sports teams, staff in small libraries and others will learn how to mobilize their volunteers, legally raise and handle money (and avoid trouble with the IRS), plan their fundraising strategies and promote their events and activites. Specifically, they'll get step-by-step advice on how to raise money through:
special events, such as fairs, festivals, walkathons and auctions raffles and sales of products member donations benefit concerts, lectures and shows sponsorships and donations from businesses dinners and other food events grant opportunities for small groups
The contents of the CD-ROM alone will save readers hours of valuable time, providing handy forms and sample
letters for everything from collecting walkathon pledges to asking businesses for in-kind donations. [Content not available in e-galley]
