This review is from: Developing Your Case for Support (J-B Fund Raising School Series) (Paperback)
I have used this book successfully in working with small nonprofits. It has all the information needed to get the basics in place. In response to the former reviewer, I would have to say that a person ready to sit for the CFRE would probably not be reading a book written at this introductory level, but for those folks just starting to put a nonprofit together, I know a fact that this book will help a lot.

This review is from: Developing Your Case for Support (J-B Fund Raising School Series) (Paperback)
This is a very quick read that presents a good overview of the basics. I'd recommend this for someone new to fundraising. The worksheets are helpful for someone who needs guidance. If you are ready to sit for the CFRE and are buying this book based on the reading list, buy something more advanced.
