Great, easy to read information
Atkins’ book is a must read for any fundraising professional. It addresses in plain, easy to understand language the reasons fundraising can be challenging. From knowledge’s gaps to lack of confidence, she offers realistic solutions that showcase the breadth of her knowledge in the topic. The chapter addressing your comfort level with money and talking about it offered particular insight to me. After reading this, I feel much more prepared to take on the fundraising world.
