Fundable & Findable
The Brand-New Way to Fix Your Nonprofit Fundraising
More fundraising itself can’t fix your fundraising.
Too many nonprofits are unseen, unheard, and underfunded. And to break this nonprofit starvation cycle, we must tackle the problem differently.
So if your income has stalled, stop chasing donations. Gather your leadership team and do this instead:
- To get funding, be fundable internally (theory of change and strategic plan) and findable externally (positioning strategy and marketing communications) before donor acquisition and retention.
Kevin L. Brown’s book gives you the proven Fundable/Findable Framework to build a clear, compelling brand that maximises your funding and advances social justice.
The book includes 33 illustrations from Michelle Benson, including more than a dozen tools and templates for you to use.
How is this book different from others?
Kevin explains:
“It’s the only book on the market that teaches you about the intersection of nonprofit brand and fundraising; and is designed for organizations at the early-stage and growth-stage; and is written in the Global South to include perspectives from and for international leaders, plus those in the Global North; and provides both conceptual insights as well as tactical tools.”
