Fundraising For Freedom
NEW RELEASE! ORDERS WILL SHIP IN EARLY NOVEMBER.
Ann Fitzgerald, “one of the liberty movement’s most effective development consultants,” argues in Fundraising for Freedom that in an era of division and distrust, we need a vibrant nonprofit sector more than ever — an independent sector that promotes pluralism, civic participation, and democratic principles.
Ann has consulted widely with a distinctive group of nonprofits — organizations that neither seek nor accept government funding. Instead, they sustain themselves entirely through voluntary giving from individuals, private foundations, and corporations. That choice is not merely ideological; it’s strategic. It preserves their independence, shields them from political volatility, and keeps them accountable to the people who believe in their mission.
Most charities rely heavily on government support, but Ann has found that many of the organizations that depend entirely on voluntary support flourish. They often prove to be highly successful and resilient. They build enduring institutions, expand their donor bases, and invite supporters into genuine partnership — helping donors experience the joy and purpose of giving. And they succeed at it.
In Fundraising For Freedom, Ann tells us how they do it: how their very independence creates flexibility, sharpens creativity, forces mission clarity, and builds a culture of stewardship that transcends politics or bureaucracy.
“The freedom to give is one of the defining strengths of a society … a thoughtful, practical, and compelling guide for anyone seeking to build durable and effective organizations through the power of charitable giving.” … Lawson Bader, President & CEO, DonorsTrust
“Ann Fitzgerald shows how donor-centered leadership can transform organizations, strengthen civil society, and create enduring impact.” … Brad Lips, CEO, Atlas Network
