About this ebook
This book is about the acquiring of donated gifts/contributions for nonprofit organizations. It is not about "fundraisers"-- ticket or product sales. The intent of this book is not to provide a “how to” for raising money, but to help you develop the mindset necessary to be successful at “legitimate” fundraising.
