Review: An informative and inspiring book! - This book is a must-read resourse for anyone working in, or interested in knowing about nonprofit fundraising. There is a quote by Albert Einstein at the start of this book: "You don't have to know all the answers, you just need to know where to find them". Well, THIS book is where to find all the answers when it comes to nonprofit fundraising, and all things related to it. This book should (and very may well be at some point) a college textbook. It is loaded with useful, step-by-step information. The author obviously truly enjoys helping others to learn the ins and outs of nonprofit fundraising. There is an old Taoist proverb: "Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime". In this book, the author, Mr. Heyman gives the reader the tools needed to "fish" for a lifetime. Kudos to the author for an informative and inspiring book! Review: Fantastic resource! - Great book for new fundraising professionals, but also a fantastic refresher for seasoned fundraisers looking for some inspiration or guidance on a particular issue. Definitely recommend!!
