Review
"Fundraising for Social Change is a must for anyone involved in fundraising-fromt he smallest community-based group to regional and national organizations. Kim Klein makes the art of fundraising user-friendly. In more than 30 years of fundraising and grant making for progressive efforts, I have not found a more worthwhile tool." (Ray Santiago, Seva Foundation)
"Kim's clearly written and accessible Fundraising for Social Change lays out how to think about and how to carry out individual donor fundraising, capital campaigns, and special events. If your organization is trying to find a way to develop a base of financial support independent of the whims and fancies of finicky foudnations, this is the book for you." (Gary Delgado, Applied Research Center)
"This book is the Bible for grassroots fundraisers. Any time we get a question on individual donor fundraising we say, 'Have you checked what Kim says?'" (June Rostan, Southern Empowerment Project)
