other sections, it would be wise to understand the fundamentals in fundraising as explained in the books in this section.


Nonprofit Program Design, Marketing and Evaluation - Book Cover
Field Guide to Nonprofit Program Design, Marketing and Evaluation
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.”
