Book description
A practical guide to the challenges and successes of global
fundraising, written by an international team of highly respected
philanthropy professionals and edited by two of the leading nonprofit
thinkers,
Global Fundraising
is the first book to genuinely offer a global overview of philanthropy
with an internationalist perspective.
As the world becomes more
interdependent, and economies struggle, global philanthropy continues
to increase. More than that, nonprofits are taking up roles that have
traditionally been filled by the government-including social welfare,
healthcare, and human rights. Global Fundraising provides
complete coverage of the implications of this growth for nonprofit
culture and how it drives changes in fundraising practices.

rapidly due to a number of factors including: continuing growth of
great wealth; non-profit innovation emerging everywhere; growth of
indigenous NGOs; increased professionalism in fundraising; and the
value and role of new and social technologies. Written by a team of
philanthropy leaders, Global Fundraising offers timely coverage
of fundraising around the world. A must-have for INGO leaders and
anyone, anywhere, interested in the future of philanthropy and
effective fundraising practices.
