[Sotiris Makrygiannis]

Very basic but few good tips for Fund raising. Focuses too much one point, otherwise a quick read for quick ideas and inspiration.

[Ronald Webster]

A great, informative crash course in fundraising.

[Teresa Carbajal]

Informative resource to have as a reference book on your desk. Whether you are a CEO, Executive Director, Development Director/Staff, Board Member or Volunteer of a non-profit organization when it comes to fundraising campaigns Fund Raising Realities is a useful reference to have at the ready, and consult throughout the duration of the campaign.

This book is exactly what it promises: a quick and easy read geared toward board members (and to some extent, other volunteers) about fund raising. It's the perfect length, because it's the unusual volunteer who would read a real tome on the subject. Chapters are very small, and the book could easily be used for a training series. It's relatable. It's bite-sized. It's just right.

[Paul Charles]

This is certainly a quick read, but it covers a lot in a short space of time.

[Mohammed Alomaireeni]

easy to read, simple. a small guide in fundraising. not really good

[Anica Wong]

Quick read with succinct information. This is a great primer into the realities of fundraising and why many people shy away from making "the ask."

[Melissa]

It is a quick read and full if useful tools!
