No-Nonsense Practical Guide to Fundraising for Non-Profits: How to Raise Money for Your Charitable Cause Includes Over 20 Fresh Ideas

Are you researching how to start a non-profit charitable organization? Do you see a need in your community that could be filled by creating a charity? Are you looking for new and exciting ideas for Fundraising for Non-Profits?

About 4 years ago, seven of my friends and I sailed a small boat across the North Sea from Edinburgh to Stavanger in Norway for charity. We spent six days out in the open, hardly sleeping, not washing, meager rations, sickness in wild seas, complete and utter exhaustion at the end of just short of 600 kilometers. We raised about $12,000 for the charity. It was one of the best things I have ever done!

My book is a practical, reality-based conversation on the topic of fundraising for your small (or not so small) non-profit organization. Charities fill the needs in a community that the local government is either unwilling or unable to fulfill. It is the caring, enterprising individual that realizes the need and finds a way to meet it. These endeavors require funds.

A non-profit organization should operate similarly to their for-profit business counterparts. You'll need staff, a business plan of sorts, a vision and mission, and facilities to support your organization. Perhaps you're an involved parent of a school-age child. Schools always need some financial support, and you could be the person to spearhead these efforts.

In this No-Nonsense Practical Guide to Fundraising for Non-Profits book, I will give you some pragmatic advice all about to start, run, and grow a non-profit charitable organization.

In this Book, we'll Discuss:

• What a charity is
  
• What makes a non-profit
  
• What are some notable charitable events
• What we can learn from successful, established charities
• What a charitable trust is
• Several practical fundraising ideas for your community, school, corporation, and church
• How to get the word out about your fundraiser
• Why people wouldn't want to donate to your cause
• How to deal with your team
  
• How to keep a long-term relationship with donors

You will gain new insight into the world of the non-profit charitable organization. Be sure to take a look at the preview of this book before you hit "Add to Cart" so that you'll know what you're getting for your money.

I wish you the best of luck as you navigate the strange waters of investing your heart and soul into a special cause.
