“The landscape of fundraising today is rapidly changing, so keeping up with donors' priorities and wishes is more critical than ever. Achieving Excellence in Fundraising is the most comprehensive and knowledgeable guide to understanding fundraising principles in a global and diverse world. Adopting the most effective fundraising strategy will not only set you up for success, but also lead to a positive impact to improve the world. This guide is what all fundraiser and nonprofit leaders need in their toolbox.”

“Only a handful of books are so good to start with that the late author's colleagues gather periodically to refresh the content for new generations. Achieving Excellence in Fundraising is both a classic and a contemporary exploration of the topics fundraisers, nonprofit CEOs, volunteers, and students need to be confident, professional, and current in this unique role that is needed more and more around the world. The original deep experience, journalistic flair, and sheer heart of fundraising pioneer and teacher Hank Rosso is intact, with core and principles conveyed for ready application. Add in the new channels, techniques, evidence, and innovation in fundraising and you have the kind of book all will want both as brain food, and in the background of their Zoom meetings as a hallmark that they are serious professionals. The world needs more really skilled and authentic fundraisers. This book is a great contribution to that goal.”
—Wendy Scaife, Director, Australian Centre for Philanthropy and Nonprofit Studies, QUT

The compilation of lived experiences and current research will energize long‐tenured fundraising practitioners and inspire the next generation of fundraising professionals. I would recommend sharing this book with your teams, close colleagues, and others who desire to better understand and appreciate the breadth and depth of this noble profession.”
—James H. Moore, Jr., President & CEO, University of Illinois Foundation

The Lilly Family School of Philanthropy prepares students, philanthropy professionals, donors, and volunteers to be thoughtful innovators and leaders who create positive and lasting change. Alumni of its programs lead national nonprofits and foundations, serve international relief organizations, and lead hands‐on neighborhood human services centers.
As the pioneer of the unique, liberal arts‐based field of philanthropic studies, the school and its world‐class faculty offer unparalleled academic degree programs and rigorous, objective research that sets the standard for the field and provides a crucial resource for philanthropy and nonprofits. Through global partnerships, teaching and learning experiences on six continents, and an international student body, the school increases understanding of philanthropy within and across cultures.
