Relevant, useful overview of fundraising but the 3rd edition at least is too dated to be super helpful. A lot has changed over the last decade and by this point any reference to MySpace should be met with a chuckle.

I love the wealth of resources that the "Dummies" books provide. I have 5 full pages of notes after reading this book that are things for me to further investigate on this topic. Great tips on a topic that I knew very little about!

I read this for my capstone. I'll probably read it again. And then again, if I get a job in fundraising. Ah, the life of an MPA.

Chap 25 is good: 10 excuses for the failed event. Includes reasons why things go wrong and how to plan ahead or be proactive in the midst of the disaster. Helpful.

По принцип повечето съвети вероятно са верни, но са приложими за САЩ и в много малка степен - за България.
