**Jump start your fundraising efforts!**

Whether your nonprofit has just gotten tax-exempt status or has been operating for
years, its success or failure depends on its ability to raise donations from individuals,
companies, and institutions. The question you’re facing is, “How do we make our 
voices heard and bring in the needed support?”

Here, you’ll find plain-English answers. Featuring advice and stories from over 
50 experienced fundraisers, foundation staffers, journalists and more, this book
explains how to:

 * make a fundraising plan
 * work with individual donors
 * keep givers giving
 * plan special events
 * solicit grants from foundations and corporations
 * use traditional and social media to engage supporters
 * start a side business to raise funds
 * and much more.

_Effective Fundraising for Nonprofits_ also provides creative grassroots strategies
and dozens of real-life success stories. Best of all, it cuts out the jargon and“
consultant speak” that’s all too common in nonprofit books.

The 6th edition is completely updated with new stories and samples, the latest IRS
rules and regulations, and the latest communication strategies.
