Even though I have not been able to read the Guide in full or use the CD Rom, all the special topics I have checked out thus far have been highly informative. I especially like the detailed charts and exhibits which provide an “at-a-glance” guide.
Having been a management consultant for 15 years, although not in the Arts Funding Area where I now toil as a volunteer, I have a good eye for serious data. And, having read several other books on the subject of nonprofit organizations, I can honestly say this book by Stanley Weinstein provides the kind of nuts and bolts data that is essential to fundraising.
Finally, since I had to pay for this Guide out of pocket, I can honestly say that I feel I got my money’s worth even at this early stage of the fundraising process. It’s a winner.
Please give me an opportunity in the future to provide another review…after our fledgling group…The Westlake Arts Center in Westlake, OH…implements some of the suggestions.

Stanley has done it again…I now own each of the editions of his great book, which has built on his personal success in good fundraising practice as a consultant and as a teacher. I’m also proud to note that he holds the ACFRE credential.
This is the best book out there in fundraising management–great for the newbie and informative for the veteran.

This updated edition covers all the basics for a fundraising professional — whether you are just starting out or need a reminder about best practices. I found the exhibits and charts especially helpful.
From strategic planning, to executing different kinds of campaigns, to evaluating your results, the author covers it all clearly and concisely. I would recommend this book to anyone interested in a quick but thorough overview of fundraising. You can also visit the book’s website to download exhibits and sample forms — a great resource!
