Opis

The author of this text aims to fill the gap in the literature for an academic textbook on fundraising. By integrating practical knowledge with social science theory and research, the book presents a comprehensive approach to the function, from its legal and ethical principles to the mangerial process by which gifts are raised. Territory previously uncharted in the literature is explored, such as the historical and organizational contexts of contemporary practice. Explanations of programmes, techniques and publics introduce a new system for understanding fundraising's major concepts. Most of the material represents original scholarship undertaken to produce a first-time text.

Recenzje

"Because it includes much original research as well as extensive references & a section on recommended reading, it's also valuable for practitioners--whether in their professional work or as volunteers."
—PR Reporter

"This reader is grateful for the author and subject indices....The book is well-organized in three major areas: Practice, Principles, and Process....This book is a fascinating 'must-read' for anyone connected in any way to fund raising."
—The Journal of Educational Relations

"The book Effective Fund-Raising Management by Kathleen S. Kelly is a comprehensive fund-raising text addressing the history of fund-raising, the theories behind its practice, as well as practical information description of modern fund-raising, including its strengths and weaknesses. It is highly detailed and in-depth, making it most appropriate for graduate students and professionals with pre-existing fund-raising experience."
—Public Relations Review

"As an early adopter of Kelly's book, I strongly recommend it to others who are interested in teaching fund raising. It gives students a thorough and insightful framework for understanding this specialized career area."
—Dennis L. Wilcox
Professor of Public Relations, San Jose State University

"Kelly has produced the textbook we needed for our senior-level course on fund raising. The broad scope of subjects covered provides a panoramic view of the field, while the in-depth historical and analytical treatment of important themes makes this book useful for advanced studies. Whereas our undergraduate students like the practical applications of various solicitation techniques, graduate students are attracted more by the models and theories that give fund raising a foundation of serious intellectualism."
—Charles Okigbo
Associate Professor of Communication, North Dakota State University

"...an invaluable contribution to fund-raising education....As a comprehensive survey of virtually all previous literature relevant to fund raising, it defines the knowledge base of an effective fund-raising professional and will serve as a baseline reference for scholars, teachers, and practitioners....In 40 years the book will be referred to as a landmark publication."
—Selection Committee
1998 Staley/Robeson/Ryan/St. Lawrence Prize

"Experts are hailing it as a landmark achievement, the first textbook on fund raising to go beyond a traditional how-to manual....Dwight F. Burlingame, associate executive director of the Indiana University Center on Philanthropy, says, 'This is one of the most important books that's come out in fund raising. It has the potential to change the way we think about fund raising.'"

"A textbook such as this has been sorely missing from our discipline. When I earned my master's degree in Philanthropic Studies in ...1995, we students photocopied zillions of pages from reserved books and articles to compensate for the lack of one good resource. Effective Fund-Raising Management is a marvelous milestone."
—Sue A. Shepard, CFRE
Director of Development, College of Agricultural, Food, and Environmental Scienc

"More than the first basic textbook, Effective Fund-Raising Management is the presiding treatise on our subject available today. What a splendid addition to our body of knowledge!"
—James M. Greenfield, ACFRE, FAHP
Sr. Vice President, Development and Community Relations, Hoag Memorial Hospital

"In the years and decades to come, thousands of people will be indebted to Kelly for the dedication and commitment that led to this book. It is the most comprehensive single volume about philanthropic fund raising that has been written to date, weaving the threads of history, ethics, legal issues, theory, and practice into a complete cloth that portrays the field. Seasoned practitioners, researchers, teachers, and students will all benefit from Effective Fund-Raising Management."
—Robert E. Fogal, ACFRE
Executive Vice President for Philanthropy, Ohio Presbyterian Retirement Services

"For the last 44 years, Effective Public Relations has defined public relations for this century; I believe Effective Fund-Raising Management will define fund raising for the next century."
—Scott Cutlip
Dean Emeritus, University of Georgia

"Effective Fund-Raising Management is excellent. Kelly does a wonderful job of integrating theory, previous research, and her own research with the practical techniques and approaches used in public relations....I hope that the book stimulates the development of fund-raising courses in public relations programs throughout the country and the world."
—James E. Grunig
Professor of Public Relations, University of Maryland

"...Kelly has accomplished a mammoth task in her new book, Effective Fund-Raising Management, by integrating the theory of fund raising with how to do it. One is led through an understanding of the history and practice of fund raising through the programs and processes and publics of fund raising to one of the most extensive reference lists currently available. An effective text for students of fund raising.
—Dwight F. Burlingame
Indiana University

"Every once in a while a book comes along that makes people seriously rethink some topic. Kelly's Effective Fund-Raising Management will do that. She merges a ton of common sense, a keen understanding of best practices, thorough knowledge of the relevant research and theory, deep insight into ethics, mastery of legal requirements, and an imaginatively accurate vision of what fund raising must be to succeed.... If it were a trivialized discipline before this book was published, it no longer will be."
—Robert L. Heath
Professor of Communication, University of Houston

"Effective Fund-Raising Management marks the dawning of a new era in development: Now that we finally have an academic text and a theory base, the legitimacy and importance of our work moves to a new level. With every turn of the page, I learned something new. Kelly dispels many widely held myths and tells us why we do what we do. If this book had been available to me years ago, I'd be far ahead of where I am today."
—James Gregory Lord
Founder, Philanthropic Quest International

"For the first time, effective practice grows from basic research. (Effective Fund-Raising Management) provides a theory-based foundation for making reasoned judgments about fund-raising practices and programs...It is a text for students at all stages, from those just seeking careers in nonprofit organizations to senior professionals. Its strong base in theory is linked directly to rich descriptions of fund-raising practices, making it a valuable resource for all."
—Margarete R. Hall
Vice President, Institutional Advancement, Gallaudet University

"...impressed me as an ideal text....Fund raising has been taught exclusively by practitioners on the basis of how it has been done instead of how it should be done and should be founded on theory. I believe your text now makes it possible to teach the subject properly. And students will enjoy it. I read it like a novel in just two weeks!"
—Charles R. Murray, CFRE
Adjunct Professor in Public Relations and Planned Giving Director, The Seeing Ey

"I am having an absolute ball with my Fund Raising and PR class--thanks to your superb book!"
—Lynne M. Sallot, APR, Fellow PRSA
Henry W. Grady College of Journalism and Mass Communication, University of Georg

"True professions base practice on an intellectual body of knowledge, and--for the first time--Kelly has written a textbook on how to practice fund raising that is based on such a body of knowledge. Effective Fund-Raising Management makes available an outstanding text for existing courses....I hope it also will stimulate the development of new courses on fund raising at universities that have doubted the intellectual content of the discipline."
—James E. Grunig
Professor of Public Relations, University of Maryland
