This review is from: Conducting a Successful Fundraising Program: A Comprehensive Guide and Resource (Hardcover)
Dove's text surpasses the two other books I've read on fundraising in numerous ways. He provides a thorough, well-organized approach to fundraising in general and with extensive attention both to the various types of campaigns and to the many components that make up a successful program. Furthermore, Dove cites countless sources of research and practitioner experience, so that his admonitions about what to do and how to do it have a clear rationale and empirical evidence undergirding them. While I'm sure I'll continue to read other texts to delve deeper into details, I can't imagine I'll need to read another overview in the near future, because Dove's work has completely met that need for me.

This review is from: Conducting a Successful Fundraising Program: A Comprehensive Guide and Resource (Hardcover)
A comprehensive resource guide to the many variables of nonprofit fundraising campaigns and events. Well-researched; well-written. Especially helpful was the resource section, which provided actual templates and word-for-word scripts -- very applicable.
