This month’s book: No More Duct Tape Fundraising

by Rachel Ramjattan

As the executive director of a nonprofit, the reality of being responsible for raising money to keep your programs operating is overwhelming. You keep it together, but often you just want a fundraising coach and a team to help, so you don’t have to worry about turning people away or running out of money. 

Rachel Ramjattan, a national fundraiser with decades of experience fundraising, understands how you feel. In No More Duct Tape Fundraising, Rachel walks you through the eight-step process she uses to raise money efficiently and build a fundraising team. You’ll learn how to: 

• Create a fundraising plan to manage fundraising 

• Inspire people to give 

• Upgrade existing donors 

• Generate predictable revenue to sustain your programs 

• Get your board (and staff) on board with fundraising  

Join us at this month’s book club for a lively conversation with nonprofit leaders and fundraisers. We'll discuss what we've learned from the book and how we're applying it to our day-to-day lives. 

Here's a link to order the book. 

Note: This will be an interactive, small-group event. Don't have time to read the book? No worries! Join us anyway to share your experiences and learn from others.
