Fundraising for the Long Haul

by Kim Klein

Fundraising for the Long Haul helps readers assess the health of their nonprofit organization, and take the necessary steps to create a more dynamic, effective, and sustainable fundraising program. Klein outlines the characteristics of healthy fundraising programs and provides checklists and benchmarks to evaluate your organization's progress. Using real-life examples, she explains that lack of money is often a symptom of a deeper problem and offers specific solutions for overcoming the obstacles that nonprofit organizations most commonly face. Fundraising for the Long Haul reminds nonprofits that engaging in frequent self-examination through planning and evaluation, welcoming new ideas and people, and taking risks are the hallmarks of vibrant and dynamic organizations. Fundraising for the Long Haul provides a road map - grounded in Klein's vast experience as a fundraiser, trainer, and writer - for organizations wanting a long and healthy life.

This has some good overview thoughts on fundraising for non profits with development staff-- no rocket science (yay!) or super concrete tools (too bad).

[Louisa Morris]

Awesome book- chock full of excellent information and good case studies. It is also inspiring and very relevant to non-profit geeks like me!
