For A Good Cause: A Practical Guide to Giving Joyfully

“For many volunteers, fundraising is a necessary evil, a dirty F-word that compels them to have uncomfortable conversations with their families and friends . . .”

Through her work with countless female philanthropists, Diane Lebson discovered that there was no definitive guide volunteers and activists could turn to for guidance in navigating the day-to-day activities associated with doing good in the world — so she wrote one.

Leveraging the skills and experiences she cultivated over more than twenty-five years as a nonprofit executive, board member, and consultant, For A Good Cause offers practical tips on how to “do” philanthropy.

In chapters divided up by specific activities – such as serving on a board, advocating for a cause, starting your own philanthropic venture, becoming a fearless fundraiser, and more – Diane offers practical advice on how to professionalise your philanthropic engagement and make a greater impact.

Rounded out with information about best practices, checklists, and profiles of inspiring leaders, For A Good Cause is the do-gooder’s go-to resource for giving joyfully.
