In this issue -

 The Ultimate Nonprofit Marketing Guide

 How to be an Everyday Philanthropist

 

This week I would like to share with you two new books to add to your summer reading list.

 

The Ultimate Nonprofit Marketing Guide

Advertising, publicity, fundraising, marketing, or development.... Whatever you want to call it the end goal is communicating how your organization is making a difference for your cause and getting people excited about supporting it.

Kivi Leroux Miller has been helping nonprofits for years to do just that. She is the author of the new book The Nonprofit Marketing Guide: High-Impact, Low-Cost Ways to Build Support for Your Good Cause.

I was privileged to read Kivi's book as a reviewer and so excited to get a copy of it.  I'd recommend it to any fundraiser, from beginner to ACFRE! Why? She covers all the important concepts, explains them well and provides many examples and case studies. Even if your nonprofit is on a shoestring budget, get this book.  You could even make it a "book club selection" at your office and discuss the chapters at lunch once a week.  Sort of of DIY training session. 

Like a sneak preview of this book? I recently published an article of Kivi's titled Three Ways to Define Your Target Audience. You can also view the first chapter, introduction and glossary for free on Amazon

 


How to be an Everyday Philanthropist

How to Be an Everyday Philanthropist: 330 Ways to Make a Difference in Your Home, Community, and World - at No Cost! by Nicole Bouchard. This book is a great idea generator.  There are many resources listed, including Step by Step Fundraising which is featured on page 62!

This is one of those books you can easily browse, skip through and find great ideas.  I think you will find many ideas here for connecting with donors, creating unique volunteer opportunities and even content that can be included in your newsletters.
