About this item

If you find yourself in the role of fundraiser for your organization, you could use a little good news: You have found the book you need to get started. That’s the first bit of encouragement. The second bit is this: You can do this! Help! They Want Me to Fundraise! is for anyone new to fundraising. Perhaps you serve as a board member or other volunteer of a nonprofit that needs to raise money. Or maybe you're employed as the new development director or even as the executive director. It’s even possible that you worked with another organization in the past that raised money but you weren’t the one in charge. Now someone has asked you to step up to the plate and you’re not sure what this is going to require—or even if your organization is ready.
