About the Book

"If we could just get some foundation to give us a big grant..." How many times have you heard that -- or thought it yourself? If you are responsible for raising funds for a nonprofit organization this is a familiar lament, often spoken at board meetings or during budget season. So why not take action and begin your foundations program now? In this quick-start guide, fundraising and nonprofit marketing expert and consultant Jeff McLinden walks you through the how-tos and the why-tos of successful foundation fundraising. You'll learn the not-so-difficult steps to approaching foundations for the grants that can fuel your nonprofit organization's projects and programs. Better yet, you'll discover the practical approaches for setting up your department, the special files to create, and the administrative systems that help ensure success -- plus sample proposals that were successful in winning significant grants. With three decades of experience working for some of the largest, most well-known nonprofit organizations -- plus more than twenty years as a consultant, teacher and trainer, McLinden reveals tools, tactics and techniques that can help you benefit from foundations that share your passion for your nonprofit's cause.
