Hear what others are sayingI believe this book is an excellent tool for any Executive Director, Development Director or Board of Directors considering or even already working on a capital campaign. The depth of the relationship needed to secure large gifts is not knowledge many realize or truly understand. I happen to be in a situation of learning as well as teaching my Board as we grow.”

“This is an outstanding primer for the new development professional and volunteer. John Shimer presents key fundamentals for achieving philanthropic greatness through the use of short stories and in a straight forward manner that will enable you to master the art and science of fundraising – particularly for the largest gifts that are needed to achieve your organization’s mission.”
