It doesn't matter if you need to raise thousands of dollars or millions, the same basic principles of fundraising apply.

Steve Dorough, who has developed and implemented successful campaigns for numerous clients, shares a blueprint for raising funds in this guide.

Step by step, he describes how to develop a compelling strategic plan for fundraising. He also explains how to test the feasibility of your campaign and implement a successful fundraising initiative. Learn how to:

- anticipate and respond to objections from potential donors;

- share a strategic plan with larger constituencies;

- set reasonable fundraising goals; and

- recruit a highly-qualified team.

This guide is written as a narrative about a fictional chamber of commerce in a fictional community somewhere in the United States. However, the fundraising principles and processes can be successfully applied to any nonprofit.

Filled with examples of agendas, letters, reports, and checklists covering every aspect of the fundraising process, this guide takes you through the critical steps that will help you raise funds.

Economics of Philanthropy: Donations and Fundraising
<b>Experts bring economic tools to bear on philanthropic activities, addressing topics that range from the determinants of giving to the effectiveness of fundraising techniques.</b><p>Economists are increasingly aware of the need to better understand philanthropic activities. In this book, economists address a variety of topics related to the economics of philanthropy, ranging from the determinants of giving to the effectiveness of fundraising techniques. The contributions focus on individual motives for giving and volunteering, and in particular how they affect donation outcomes, fundraising decisions, and public policies toward giving. </p><p>Previous research has viewed motives for giving as embedded in formal models of economic behavior with rational agents who maximize their own utility while constrained by a budget. These models, however, have been shown to have poor predictive power, neglecting direct and indirect motives for giving. The contributors consider, among other subjects, the free-riding problem in these models&#x3b; altruistic, direct, and indirect motives for giving, addressed both theoretically and with lab experiments&#x3b; the linear public good game&#x3b; the role of social information&#x3b; the effectiveness of matching gifts and premiums&#x3b; motives for unpaid volunteering&#x3b; subscription models as a way to regulate revenue streams&#x3b; and increasing reliance on public funds.</p><p><b>Contributors <br></b>James Andreoni, Jon Behar, Avner Ben-Ner, Ted Bergstrom, Greg Bose, Sarah Brown, Catherine C.
