Joan Flanagan tells how to put some power in your organization’s purse, without worrying about strings that may be attached to government or foundation grants. The book methodically outlines the planning process for fundraising events of all sizes, from a neighborhood book sale to a $50-a-plate dinner; and it offers suggestions for year-round fundraising, like membership dues or setting your group up in business. As treasurer of an organization struggling to meet a $55,000-a-year budget, I referred to
Flanagan’s book for both inspiration and nuts-and-bolts advice.
