Are you raising money for a nonprofit organization with a small development office or no paid fundraising staff? Do you want to raise more money? Are you stuck in a rut with your fundraising program? Do you want to feel motivated and re-energized about fundraising? Do you need an action plan?

-
Raise more money.
-
Create a basic development plan.
-
Identify new prospects.
-
Ask for gifts more frequently.
-
Review the basics of fundraising.
-
Work with your board on fundraising.
-
Hire your first development staff member.
-
Work as a cohesive development team with your executive director, development staff members, and board members.

Foreword by Roberta Healey, AFP Board Chair

|
I’ve been a fundraiser for a long time and have read my share of fundraising books. So why write a foreword for this one?
For starters, Amy’s enthusiasm for fundraising and the people and programs that benefit is palpable and contagious, and she brings a fresh and innovative approach to development planning in her very first book.
50 Asks in 50 Weeks is an easy and worthwhile read for busy professionals, especially those in smaller development shops, because it provides a structured, diverse and realistic array of practical tips for boo sting your fundraising revenue. It will help any nonprofit executive director or development staff member jumpstart their fundraising efforts by returning to the basics, but basics at their best and most efficient.
I commend Amy for getting us back to basics and creating this book as a tool to reach those who may be newer to the profession of fundraising or those who do not have extensive staff or training budgets. This valuable resource is a must-have for anyone thinking of starting a new fundraising program, individuals who are new to the field of development, and those who want to refresh and refocus their efforts. For those who have been in a small development shop for many years, it will provide reassurance, reminders of best practices, encouragement and a renewal of passion and enthusiasm for the work you do.
The planning tools and concepts outlined in 50 Asks in 50 Weeks demonstrate how to raise more money without using additional resources. The keys to your success will be to structure your actions so you ask more frequently, diversify your funding base, and be smarter about your fundraising efforts. Each chapter takes an in-depth look at one element of the fundraising planning process and provides practical tips and hints along with way. The to-do lists, charts and calendars are tangible resources to guide you along the way.
I concur with Amy’s assessment of small development offices and her advice for them. Her helpful hints and practical suggestions are right on point. I am pleased to write the foreword for this book and support Amy’s efforts.
