Book Description
Unlike other areas of fund-raising, planned giving brings fund-raising professionals into contact with lawyers, accountants, financial planners, consultants, and wealthy donors. They need to be able to speak the same language as the donors and their advisors while still keeping their own organization's goals in mind. This book can help them address these and other vital issues related to starting, marketing, administering, and expanding a planned giving program.
This book is supplemented annually.

ADVANCE PRAISE FOR Grantseeker's Toolkit.
"For most worthy nonprofits to fulfill their missions, passion and dedication are simply not enough. Securing financial resources requires that 'the case' for support be made in a clear and persuasive fashion. Beyond their skill in winning grants, New and Quick also know how to effectively coach others, in a conversational, step-by-step manner, to do the same!"—Dr. Janice B. Yost President Mary Black Foundation, Inc.
"Grantseeker's Toolkit is an outstanding and comprehensive reference document for the grantseeker and writer. Cheryl and James have created a valuable resource for both the novice and the experienced grantseeker/writer."—Marlene L. Ritter Unit Head, Leadership Development Office of Quality Educators Louisiana Department of Education.
"Grantseeker's Toolkit is a breath of fresh air. This book should provide a recipe for community-based organizations and small universities that have spent thousands of dollars hiring writers to develop proposals. Several copies of this book should be on file in the business or grants office of every community-based organization and community college or university. Cheryl and Jim should be commended for developing this tool."—Arlene A. Granderson, M.P.H. Director of Operations, Office of Rural Health Policy Department of Health and Human Services, Rockville, MD.

The Best.......2007-08-24
I have a huge library of Grant Seeking and Managing books. I purchased this one recently and was amazed...it's the BEST! I have since bought all of Cheryl Carter New and Jame Aaron Quick's Grant books. I now use them for every grant I put together. When I discuss the Grant world with the Non-Profits and Governments I work with I use the material found in their books almost exclusively. If you are new to the Grant world these are the first books you should purchase.
Worth the money.......2001-09-05
I am an intermediate grantseeker who hoped to find a book that would assist me in further honing my writing. This book did just that. It is concise yet substantial and provided me with a fresh approach that will be useful for years to come. The language is intelligent (the authors steer clear of trite, 'inspirational' language), clear, and honest. I suggest this book for anyone interested in the grantseeking process.
Good Book with a Glaring Omission.......2001-03-27
There are excellent guidelines in this book. If you purchase it, you will be getting good information except for one very important area which appears to be completely overlooked. In today's grant market, you must know how to design good outcome measures. The concepts of goals and objectives come into play here (and are addressed in the book), but the buzz words are "outcome measures". I wish the authors had included a chapter or two on designing outcomes measures for both project oriented grants and for general operating grants (which are by far the harder to design).
The information here is good. It is easy to understand and, from my experience as a full time grant writer, right on the mark. Just know you will have to attend a workshop or find another place to learn about outcome measures.
well-written steps to follow.......2000-01-29
In recently conducted grant workshops for teachers this guide was most helpful.For future workshops-- for educators applying for grants in their field, another title might be more appropriate and targeted to needs of educators. Educators usually have an RFP in hand and this book is helpful to find funding ....which isn't always the educator's focus at that moment.
Grantseeker's Toolkit Review.......2000-01-06
Grantseeker's Toolkit is a must read for novice as well as experienced grantwriters. Cheryl Carter New and James Aaron Quick have laid out, in easy to follow steps, the complete grantwriting process. They have generously shared their own specific techniques that begins with formulating ideas for fundable projects to the actual writing of grants and ultimately to finding appropriate funders. It is a realistic and throrough approach that teaches readers how to prepare proposals that meet the requirements of funding sources. Grantseeker's Toolkit is divided into parts. Part I covers the designing of fundable projects that includes the development and refining of ideas, grantseeking strategies and designing and organizing the projects. Part II covers finding suitable funders for projects. This section explains federal, state, foundation and corporate funders and their general proposal requirements. Part III includes the development of the final project, explaining how to meet the grantors guidelines and the actual writing of proposals. Part IV takes readers through each step of writing proposals. The procedure teaches readers how to write problem statements, determine the operation of the project, laying out budgets and also shows readers how to prepare the final package for submission. Grantseeker's Toolkit provides an all inclusive method to follow for grant writing and thoroughly prepares readers for completing successful proposals I am certain purchasers of this book will be quite satisfied and will refer to it often when writing future proposals.
Book Description
"A unique book with a unique approach, this is destined to become a classic." —Charitable Gift Planning News
In this deeply humane and informative book, Douglas White deftly weaves together personal insight and level-headed advice in a probing look at the human side of planned giving. He helps you understand, develop, and use the interpersonal skills that are an essential part of every successful planned giving officer's art.
White provides practical answers to such crucial questions as: How do I successfully approach a prospect for a planned gift? What are the steps to building a prospect's trust and instilling a sense of mission? How can I tell if I'm being too aggressive—or not aggressive enough? How do I handle a donor's lawyer and other advisors who don't support the gift?
Tracing the entire process of acquiring a planned gift from the first phone call to managing the gift's assets, White offers many helpful pointers on how to deal with donors, their families, and their professional advisors, as well as executive directors and board members within your organization. He also helps you translate technical knowledge into planned gifts that are better for both donors and charities.
The first book to take you beyond the mere mechanics and into the very soul of planned giving, The Art of Planned Giving is an important working resource for planned giving officers, fund-raising professionals and consultants, as well as nonprofit executives and board members.

An invalauable resource.......2002-04-11
Fundraising Fundamentals by James Greenfield has been around for some time, and I have used it as a trusted resource time and again. This new edition is even better than the first. There are new sections covering telephone/telemarketing sklls, corporate solicitation, and the internet (this is particularly useful). There are also plenty of case studies and examples to help readers learn to implement the guidance Greenfield provides in their own nonprofit. Whatever your experience/skill level in your nonprofit, this is the one resource you should not do without!

Book Description
Invaluable guidance on the most important legal issues facing nonprofits today
Internet communication is the lifeblood of countless nonprofit organizations, yet there exists no specific law to provide for its regulation. Without solid legal guidance, nonprofits risk not only missing out on the unlimited opportunities that the Internet has to offer, but also jeopardizing their tax-exempt status. The Nonprofits' Guide to Internet Communications Law analyzes and explains the laws applicable to Internet communications by nonprofit organizations.
Nonprofit law expert Bruce Hopkins writes that with Congress and government agencies reluctant to create new law, it will ultimately be up to the courts to determine the future of Internet law affecting nonprofit organizations. Extrapolating from the underlying principles of existing law, Hopkins addresses the legal ramifications of Internet business activities, charitable-giving administration, fundraising programs, lobbying, political campaign activities, and more.
The Nonprofits' Guide to Internet Communications Law proves an unparalleled resource for this emerging field.

Excellent Tool for Learning About Planned Giving.......2000-11-18
Many not-for-profit organizations do not have a Planned Giving Program. The basic reason for this is they feel it is too complicated to establish and maintain one. After reading this book they will think differently.
Legacies for Libraries: A Practical Guide to Planned Giving is the Bible for establishing an effective and successful program. Although the book was written for libraries the principles and concepts can be used for any industry. So don't let the title scare you away from buying it. This is a must read book.
The authors, Amy Smith and Matthew Lehrer, are experienced in the fund development process. However, they write the book in easy to understand language. You don't have to be a lawyer or scholar to understand what you are reading. In simple terms they explain the value of establishing a Planned Giving Program and then lay out the necessary steps for implementing such a program.
The book discusses the different types of Planned Giving gifts and give examples for each one. The authors have also put together an excellent appendix chocked full of valuable information. There is a list of Planned Giving resources, a glossary and bibliography.
When you finish reading Legacies for Libraries: A Practical Guide to Planned Giving you will be ready and willing to tap the $43 trillion in assets that demographers say that the World War II generation will be transferring to the next generation.
Don't lose out on this critical source of funding for your organization.
