Second Printing Book Cover

Tony Poderis has condensed nearly three decades of fund-raising experience into a concise guide. In just over 100 pages, Tony explains the ins and outs of successful annual, endowment, capital, sponsorship, and underwriting campaigns.

Step by step instructions teach you how to develop a realistic campaign goal and produce an effective solicitation kit.

Samples of virtually every form you'll need to organize your work have also been provided--from income projection sheets and campaign timelines to pledge cards.

Other chapters deal with identifying promising funding sources, rating and evaluating prospective donors, and planning and managing a campaign.
