(More customer reviews)As a president of a nonprofit organization I was excited to be able to review this book because we are in require much needed funding. After perusing this book I felt that many of the events can be executed providing there are enough volunteers to carry through with the projects.
Some of the events suggested by Sandlin and Helweg are: Dollar Days, Thrilling Theater Dinner, Host a Radio Show, Water Sports Challenge, Superhero Fair, and much more . Each suggestions includes: Sponsor/Donations; Possible Venue/s; Recommended number of volunteers; Preparation time needed; Execution; and, Tips. I especially appreciated the sections "Preparation" because the authors give a step-by-step detail of what needs to be done and when.
Not all the events would work for all nonprofits but I believe there are enough suggestions that any nonprofit can at least choose five and go with those. As in case with most nonprofits recruiting volunteers is often a major issue. However, there are many events listed that would only take as little as 5 people to pull it off.
I believe this book would be of interest to any committee in charge of bringing in funding, be it a school, church, or any other group attempting to raise funds. The content of the book is laid out in easy format; it is concise, to the point, and informative. I certainly do recommend this book; there are a lot of suggestions in between the covers.
