Whether you are a community volunteer or a professional fundraiser, fundraising expert Joan Flanagan offers helpful tips and advice on gaining access to funds, on raising more money in a shorter period of time, and on building a more productive fundraising organization.

Packed with real-life examples from the author's extensive fundraising experience, this essential handbook is complete with planning guidelines, samples worksheets and timetables, plus all new information on using the Internet, e-mail, web sites, and online auctions as fundraising tools, and expanded coverage of working with celebrities to raise funds and how to win corporate dollars.
