Recenzii
"A wonderful resource. The author covers all aspects of effective fundraising and provides practical advice and precautions that should be taken to make fundraising successful. This book will make fundraising not only beneficial for schools but it will add a level of enjoyment in the planning, implementation, and positive results of the final product."
"This book makes a distinct contribution to fundraising the easy way! I would definitely recommend that every school facing financial difficulties or just wanting to add to their school resources purchase this book."
"Even for school administrators who have been involved in many fundraisers over the years, there is always need for fresh ideas and new approaches. Having a resource such as this book for a PTO to review could lead to new synergy around a reinvigorated fundraiser."
"This book has many creative fundraising ideas."
"An excellent, basic handbook offering new approaches to traditional fundraising efforts. Here's a list of action-packed options that schools and educators will appreciate."
