Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There are nearly a million nonprofit organizations in the United States vying for funding from an ever-diminishing pool of resources. Whether you're directing or working for a nonprofit or founding a new one, your biggest concern is how to make it sustainable through tough economic times. This book shows you how to keep your organization working regardless of whether you are successful in securing grants. You'll learn how to obtain space, equipment and tools at little or no cost, how to minimize insurance and legal fees, and how to use volunteers and keynote programs to stay lean and successful. Checklists help you initiate and file paperwork and create a master assets and inventory document that will keep your directors, officers and volunteers up to date on everything you own and lease, including Internet and social media resources. Realistic hands-on strategies are provided that can save your organization significant amounts of money each year and prevent the mistakes that cause so many nonprofits to fail.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why is it impossible to raise enough money? What can I do about my board before it's too late? Why are fundraisers like me always on the verge of a nervous breakdown? What in the world is wrong with nonprofits, and how do we fix it? In THE FUNDRAISING SURVIVAL GUIDE, Will Caverly takes you on a journey through the most difficult and degrading job in the modern nonprofit: development, also known as fundraising, also known as the most dismal profession. This cynical manual for the development professional skewers the Third Sector, taking you on a humorous ride through the failings of charitable organizations and the people that fund them. In this book, you will learn: Why penitence is an inefficient way to do good; Why charitable organizations are always on the verge of failure; How to deal with the board, your staff, and everyone else getting in your way; Why you should fire all your volunteers, effective immediately; What kind of damage you can do with a pen via grant writing; How to hunt down donors who don't want to be found; And what we can do to end development as a profession, once and for all. In the tradition of Dave Barry (Big Trouble), C. Northcote Parkison (Parkinson's Law), and Laurence J. Peter (The Peter Principle), this unserious book will have you seeking out new employment in no time. Will Caverly has never worked in a nonprofit, but he hears good things about them. He is the author of HERE, the BEES STING, a beekeeping thriller, and a breakdown of his work can be found on his website, www.willcaverly.com.
