After a financial windfall, businesswoman Lisa Greer discovered many nonprofits were inefficient and outdated in their fundraising. Shocked by their dysfunction, she dedicated her career to revamping the nonprofit sector.

In this book, Greer addresses the impending historic wealth transfer in the US and offers fundraisers concrete steps to reverse declining donations. Drawing from her extensive experience and research, she provides actionable strategies for nonprofits to identify, retain, and increase financial supporters.

The Essential Fundraiser’s Handbook shares invaluable insights from the donor’s point of view, offering nonprofits innovative ways to identify financial supporters, retain them, and increase their giving. Greer’s book is not only an incisive critique of what nonprofits often do wrong but, more importantly, a clear roadmap to turn it around and achieve long-term sustainability.

I highly recommend this book to fundraisers of all levels, whether you’re a seasoned professional or just starting your journey.” – Kassie Cosgrove, Senior Development Officer, Loyola University New Orleans
