Hate asking for money? You're not alone.
For most nonprofit leaders, board members, and volunteers, the thought of asking for money ranks somewhere between public speaking and root canals on the list of things they'd rather avoid. But what if fundraising could actually be enjoyable?
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
- Build authentic relationships that lead to joyful giving
- Create a gift grid that ensures you're asking for the right amounts
- Identify each prospect's unique giving motivations
- Handle objections with grace and turn "no" into "not yet"
- Thank donors effectively to build lasting connections
Translated into five languages (Dutch, Polish, Spanish, and Mandarin) and used by thousands of nonprofits worldwide, this international bestseller delivers powerful fundraising techniques without the complexity of most fundraising books.
Whether you're a board member intimidated by fundraising, a new development professional, or an executive director wearing multiple hats, Ask Without Fear! provides the simple framework you need to raise more money with less stress.
"Reading this book was a game-changer. What I found particularly insightful was the concept of matching a cause to a person who cares about it. These are really concrete things that are immediately actionable." - Kael Shipman
"Marc has distilled years of fundraising wisdom into 94 pages of pure gold. More doable and less intimidating than similar books." - Hildy Gottlieb, Co-Founder, Creating the Future!

Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to ThriftBooks-Dallas, Dallas, Texas, U.S.A., without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.
Exceptions to the right of withdrawal
The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
- The supply of digital content which is not supplied on a tangible medium (e.g. on a CD or DVD) if you accepted when you placed your order that we could start to deliver it, and that you could not withdraw once delivery had started.
