In this concise, practical guide, fundraising expert Marc A. Pitman reveals his proven R.E.A.L. method for painless fundraising:
Research your prospects effectively
Engage donors in meaningful ways
Ask confidently for the right amount
Love your donors, whether they give or not
Using relatable stories and actionable strategies, Pitman shows you how to:
- Transform your fear of asking into fundraising confidence
