There is an explosion of books about leadership.
Some are about broad and general philosophies, paradigms, visions and values. Others are about more specific models and theories.
Still, others are about even more specific tips and tools. Bibliographies of books on leadership span numerous pages. The books mentioned on
these pages are a reasonable beginning. They are focused on books with both foundational principles and practical tips and tools.
Note that, although many perspectives on leadership are about leading other individuals and groups, there are other domains of leadership, including leading
oneself and organizations. The books referenced from this page are in regard to all domains of leadership.
Leading For-Profits and Nonprofits
There is much more in common between leading a for-profit and nonprofit than many people might realize. Small nonprofits are a lot more
like small for-profits, than large nonprofits. Similarly, large nonprofits are a lot more like large for-profits, than small nonprofits.
Nonprofits often include leading volunteers. A section, later on below, provides more books about leading specifically in nonprofits.

Fundraising Basics, Overviews and Planning
The following books will give you a sound understanding of the most important principles and practices for successful fundraising.
Books in the following sections go into more detail about the most common, major forms of fundraising. Before proceeding to those
other sections, it would be wise to understand the fundamentals in fundraising as explained in the books in this section.
by Carter McNamara, published by Authenticity Consulting, LLC.
There are few books, if any, that explain how to carefully plan, organize and develop a nonprofit program to appeal to funders.
Also, too many books completely separate the highly integrated activities of planning, marketing and evaluating programs.
This book integrates all three into a comprehensive, straightforward approach that anyone can follow in order to
provide high-quality programs with strong appeal to funders. Includes many online forms that can be downloaded.
Many materials in this Library topic are adapted from this book.
Fundraising Proposals and Grantwriting
Grants are often viewed as the most common form of fundraising, although individual appeals (in the form of direct appeals and events)
are just as — or more common — than grants. Before reading more about grants, be sure to understand the most important principles in
fundraising as provided in the books in the above section “Fundraising Basics, Overviews and Planning.”
Fundraising Events
Fundraising events are a very common form of fundraising, although they often require extensive time and effort. Before reading more about events, be sure to understand the most important principles in
fundraising as provided in the books in the above section “Fundraising Basics, Overviews and Planning.”
Major Gifts and Planning Giving
Pursuing major gifts and planned giving (for example, donations from major estates) can seem like an approach to get significant contributions.
However, these forms of fundraising usually require significant time and effort, as well. Before reading more about major gifts and planning giving,
be sure to understand the most important principles in fundraising as provided in the books in the above section “Fundraising Basics, Overviews and Planning.”

Capital Campaigns

such as land or a building. Before reading more about capital campaigns, be sure to understand the most important principles
in fundraising as provided in the books in the above section “Fundraising Basics, Overviews and Planning.”
