Fundraising the SMART Way™: Predictable, Consistent Income Growth for Your Charity + Website

by Ellen Bristol

$7.95

Fundraising is the lifeblood of the nonprofit, and, successful or otherwise, determines the organization’s ability to provide for the group it serves. Every organization attempts to lower overhead while increasing donations, but this often proves to be impossible within existing frameworks. Effective fundraising – increasing donations while engaging more donors and lowering costs – requires a sound strategy that turns major roadblocks into minor hurdles that are easily overcome. It’s not about trying harder, it’s about working smarter.
