To achieve their true potential fundraisers now have to really understand their donors and their causes, to communicate more effectively, to engage, involve and inspire their donors more consistently, to be extraordinarily good to do business with, to play smart and keep themselves and their colleagues motivated as they do it. In short, fundraisers have to ensure their thinking is right so they can get all their important messages spot on, appreciated, remembered and acted upon. This book will show fundraisers how to do all that and enjoy their work too, while they make the world a better place.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe Zen of Fundraising\u003c\/em\u003e will entertain and surprise you but more importantly, it will help you to sort out what’s important and what matters, what you really need to know from what’s merely interesting and worth knowing.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReviews of \u003cem\u003eThe Zen of Fundraising\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"\u003cem\u003eThe Zen of Fundraising\u003c\/em\u003e is classic Burnett, but unlike \u003cem\u003eRelationship Fundraising\u003c\/em\u003e it can sit neatly in your pocket to be thumbed on your travels or when there are a few moments to spare. The bite-sized chunks that comprise this text make it ideally suited to this purpose.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAn odd title though? As Ken says in his introduction, the term Zen has come to mean “thoughtful wisdom and insights” and there are 89 of these “timeless ideas” in this text. No more than a page and a half is devoted to each so they come at the reader at quite a pace. Not all are new, extensions only of common sense, but it is always amazing how much of “common” sense turns out not to be common at all. Conference speakers, for example, have stressed the importance of thanking donors appropriately for as long as I can remember yet, as a donor, I’m frequently surprised at how few organisations manage to do this well. The Zen offers a number of suggestions for improvements here…\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWith 89 ideas there really should be something for everyone in this text. If you find just two or three of them to be worthwhile implementing, this little book will have paid for itself many times over.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e- Adrian Sargeant, eZine 6, issue 18, ePhilanthropyFoundation.Org, USA, professor\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr style=\"height: 1px; border-color: #888888;\" size=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \"This book is wicked.
