**_Raising Funds for Your School – A Comprehensive Guide_ has launched: a new Charity
First Series book that aims to provide schools of all types with the skills and 
techniques needed to maximise their fundraising income on a sustainable basis. **

Written by schools fundraising specialist Nick Ryan, director of [Vantage Fundraising](https://www.vantagefundraising.co.uk/),
_Raising Funds for your School – A Comprehensive Guide_ provides non-technical advice
to help heads, business managers, parents and other school stakeholders to develop
fundraising activities with particular consideration given to how to embed such 
activities into the life of the school, increasing their prominence, joint ownership
and chance of success.

Central to the [Charity First Series](http://www.charityfirstseries.org) book is
a ‘how to’ compendium of 15 different fundraising opportunities and methods – from
major donor, trust and statutory and company fundraising, through sponsorship, recycling
and text giving to legacies and cause related marketing, each of which is described
clearly and practically.

The book is informed by advanced fundraising theory and practice, and covers topics
including donor motivations and stewardship, case statements and campaign planning.
It also covers non-financial benefits of fundraising such as the chance for staff
and pupils to develop new skills and an increased level of engagement, and the opportunity
to integrate the school more closely with its community.

The book is [available in print and PDF formats](https://www.spmfundessentials.org/titles/raising-funds-%20for-your-%20school/),
priced at £19.95 and £15.00 respectively. Other titles in the Charity First Series

_and _[The Gift Aid Guide](https://fundraising.co.uk/2013/09/26/gift-aid-guide-published-charity-first-series/)._
