Special Instructions

1. Great Boards for Small Groups which covers recruitment, trustee job descriptions, running effective meetings, and raising money. It also includes a series of "how to fix it" chapters on poor meeting attendance, micro-management, follow-through on commitments, promoting turnover, and conflicts of interest. 2. Big Gifts for Small Groups: A Board Member’s 1-Hour Guide to Securing Gifts of $500 to $5,000. Based on Andy's popular workshops, this book is designed for small groups with limited experience doing major gifts campaigns. Board members will learn everything they need to know: how to get ready for the campaign, how to identify prospective donors, where to meet, how to ask, what to do after the meeting - even how to express your thanks in a memorable way. And yes, you really can read it in an hour!

3. Grassroots Grants, Second Edition: An Activist’s Guide to Proposal Writing. The revised edition of the best-selling guide includes how-to tips from 50 grantmakers who fund groups working for human rights, social justice, and environmental conservation. The book covers how grants fit into a complete fundraising program, designing fundable projects, grant research, building relationships with grantmakers, and preparing the proposal.

4. Selling Social Change (Without Selling Out): Earned Income Strategies for Nonprofits. Selling Social Change features the work of two dozen progressive organizations that create and sell goods and services to support and extend their missions: tactical research, self-defense training, ecotourism, curriculum development, traditional garden seeds, musical CDs, and many others. In doing so, they are discovering new strategies for educating their communities, activating their constituents, and expanding their budgets.
