carriekellenberger's review against another edition
5.0
I found this book with my BookBub membership and it was free. Actually, it is still being offered for Free as a Kindle edition on Amazon, so I highly recommend taking advantage of this offer because this book really lives up to its name - It is definitely a little book of gold!
If you are a new Executive Director, a board chair or even someone in charge of fundraising at a small non-profit organization, this should be on your must-read list. It is packed with great information and proven fundraising methods that work.
The Little Book of Gold: Fundraising for Small (and Very Small) Nonprofits is an excellent resource guide for anyone who wants to learn the basics of sustainable fundraising and it is specifically geared towards non-profits with small budgets and non-existent budgets.
There are many things to like about this book, but one of the most important points that hit home for me is that it is useful for organizations that do not have a dedicated fund development staff.
Hanberg demonstrates just how much one key person in your organization can make things happen. It is well researched and well laid out, with specific methods and details to put into use instead of focusing heavily on theory. I thought the breakfast fundraising section was brilliant. Additionally, the author offers links to spreadsheets and other online tools that can be used to achieve your fundraising goals. One of the hardest things to do with fundraising is figuring out a way to ask people for money. This book offers simple ideas on how to ask people for big donations and when to host networking events.
I will continue to refer back to this book for additional ideas. It is short, concise, and absolutely worth reading.
