Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Generosity Network is the essential guide to the art of activating resources of every kind behind any worthy cause. Philanthropist Jeff Walker and fund-raising expert Jennifer McCrea offer a fresh new perspective that can make the toughest challenges of nonprofit management and development less stressful, more rewarding—and even fun. Walker and McCrea show how traditional pre-scripted, money-centered, goal-oriented fund-raising techniques lead to anxiety and failure, while open-spirited, curiosity-driven, person-to-person connections lead to discovery, growth—and often amazing results. Through engrossing personal stories, a wealth of innovative suggestions, and inspiring examples, they show nonprofit leaders how to build a community of engaged partners who share a common passion and are eager to provide the resources needed to change the world—not just money, but also time, talents, personal networks, creative thinking, public support, and all the other forms of social capital that often seem scanty yet are really abundant, waiting to be uncovered and mobilized. Highly practical, motivating, and thought provoking, The Generosity Network is designed to energize and empower nonprofit leaders, managers, donors, board members, and other supporters. Whether you help run a multimillion-dollar global nonprofit or raise funds for a local scout troop, PTA, or other community organization, you’ll learn new approaches that will make your work more successful and enjoyable than ever.

Book excerpt: Fundraisers at all levels discover the art of leading up Fundraisers know that in order to be successful in their demanding profession, they have to get things done. And to get things done, they need to exercise leadership from whatever rank or position they hold--often from the middle. This concept is called "leading up." Recognizing that all fundraisers must be leaders, Leading Up teaches professionals the skills and traits they need to be successful in their philanthropic roles. Leading Up centers around author Lilya Wagner's unique model, which exemplifies the concept of leading up. Here, fundraisers will discover: how to get things done when they're not in charge; how to motivate others when they don't have formal authority; how to convince or persuade their colleagues and superiors about their need for action and involvement; and how to lead when they're not recognized leaders by virtue of power or position. Focusing on problem-solving concepts, Leading Up is packed with thought provoking questions, exercises, and practical application steps that allow professionals to practice and implement the principles they've just learned. The book also includes inspirational quotes on leadership from recognized and successful professionals and leaders. Leadership qualities have to be learned and practiced by all who wish to achieve success in fundraising, whether boss or not. Leading Up provides readers with the groundwork they need to not only build up their causes and organizations, but also influence a professional field that is still developing.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Monica Sharma describes how we can source our inner capacities and wisdom to manifest change that embodies universal values such as dignity, compassion, fairness, and courage. Drawing on more than twenty years of work for the United Nations and elsewhere, she presents a radical new approach to transformational leadership, one that creates systems of change where everyone can engage—not just analysts and policy-makers. Demonstrating that we all can be architects of a new humanity, Monica demystifies policy-making, planning, and implementation so that everyone can play an informed and strategic part in eradicating the world’s most intractable problems. Using real-life examples from around the world, she shows how our innate characteristics of universal compassion, equity impulse, and human capability can create new patterns that effectively address major challenges such as gross inequality, unbridled hate, conflicts based on social identity, and the never-enough mindset of greed. Written in a straightforward, accessible style, Radical Transformational Leadership outlines a path-breaking paradigm shift that is already generating equitable and sustainable results across the globe.

This book was released on 2021-01-25 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If your nonprofit is like most, you have a big, bold vision for the difference you want to make, the lives you want to touch, and the impact you want to have. But for too many organizations, incremental, stagnant, or even negative revenue growth, stands in the way. We, the team at Barker & Scott, set out to change this. We believe nonprofits are uniquely positioned to do the work no commercial enterprises or governmental bodies can do. Nonprofits are the most willing, committed, and intentional about solving the world's greatest and most intractable problems-like hunger and food insecurity, debilitating diseases like Alzheimer's, cancer, and multiple sclerosis, the damaging effects of systemic racism, the physical abuse of people and animals, and climate change. These are some of the most defining issues of our time and we need solutions to solve them NOW. But it takes money to do that. In the Transformational Giving Playbook, we show you how your nonprofit can move from incremental growth to exponential growth to achieve its mission. The Transformational Giving Playbook is a powerful step-by-step guide that shows you how to transform your impact by raising six and seven-figure gifts. It is a new comprehensive approach to fundraising that: Rallies the entire organization around a common set of values, goals, and leadership principles. Pairs the best of what our clients know about the art of fundraising with what we know about the science of fundraising. Puts the donor's motivations and aspirations, and not just the organization's mission, front and center. Makes everyone a winner. If you've struggled to raise more money to achieve your mission, the ONLY reason is that one or more of the key components of The Transformational Giving Playbook are either missing or incomplete. Get these components in place, and it will not only transform your impact, but your organization, your team, and your donors as well.
