Book excerpt: WHY SHOULD YOU READ THIS BOOK?You should read this book because it is worth at least $50,000! As a fundraiser, I'm sure you'll have come across many lists of fundraising ideas online and some you'll have been able to put into action.Where this book takes a different approach is that not only does it provide a great list of fundraising ideas that most people could do, it also explains very clearly what you'll need to do to 'scale' that fundraising idea to raise at least $1,000. This includes ticket pricing, target audience, number of people you need to engage etc.In addition, the 50 fundraising ideas have been split into 10 categories, based on where these ideas are likely to be most successful, e.g. in the workplace, in the community or online. I caveat that several ideas could work across different categories.I have never met a fundraiser who thought they had plenty of time on their hands, especially not our wonderful volunteer fundraisers who are also juggling jobs, family, and other life commitments. As such this book provides inspiration for great fundraising ideas that can bring in a substantial amount of money in one hit.If you are passionate about fundraising for your local community, school, church, sports club, animal shelter or hospice, etc. but feel a bit guilty because you'd also like to spend more time with your family, friends, traveling, enjoying your hobbies, or if like me you'd just like to spend more time sleeping - then this is the book for you!WHY I WROTE THIS BOOKI have been a fundraiser for as long as I can remember, before I even knew what it meant. My earliest fundraising memory is from the age of about 6 when my task was to stuff as many items into a standard-sized matchbox and get people to sponsor me to do so. Great fun for a 6-year-old, and impressive targeting for a very well-known children's charity.From school fundraising activities to fundraising for the local church roof, I was always at the center of something fundraising-related.In my early 20's, I decided to raise funds for a disability charity that had supported my family; the challenge was to raise $2500 and hike100 km across the Sinai Peninsula in Egypt. Waking up one morning in the desert, slightly sunburnt, unwashed for days, and sand in all the wrong places, I decided fundraising was the life for me!For the last twenty years, I have worked as a professional fundraiser and worked my way from a fundraising administrator to a charity CEO. What has always struck me during this time is the power of community and the dedication of individuals, just like you, who take time out of their busy lives to raise funds for causes they believe in.From building sports halls and fixing church roofs to providing shelter and care for the vulnerable, the compassion and dedication of our local communities are the backbones of fundraising worldwide. I wrote this book to say 'thank you' and to provide you not only with some great fundraising ideas, but also practical advice as to what you need to do to scale those ideas to raise $1,000 from each.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Enjoy these SAMPLE pages from Giving and Getting in the Kingdom- Fundraising for an organization or ministry is not merely an important task, it's a noble one. Successful leaders must possess the theological vision to recognize the necessity of asking, the joy of giving, and the beautifully collaborative nature of advancing the kingdom. It should come as no surprise that the literal translation of the word philanthropy is "love of mankind"- and Christian philanthropy enables us to love God through loving man. Mark Dillon has spent his career interacting with hundreds of thoughtful Christian stewards, and reframing the discussion on giving. He challenges leaders to ensure their organizations and ministries are worthy of the gifts they receive. Highly practical and refreshingly candid, Giving and Getting in the Kingdom delivers much-needed perspective on the eternal significance of our earthly transactions.
