Born to Raise: What Makes a Great Fundraiser Great

By Jerold Panas

Book Overview

It shook the earth under fundraising is how one development professional described the impact of Jerold Panas's book, Born to Raise, when it was released thirty years ago. In his quest to identify what makes a great fundraiser great, Panas conducted in-depth interviews with some fifty men and women considered to be the greatest in the US. He also sought the counsel of development professionals across America, eventually receiving nearly three-thousand responses to his questionnaire. The groundbreaking result was Born to Raise, a seminal fundraising work available in this 30th Anniversary Edition.

Customer Reviews

Born to Raise

This is a great book for fundraisers of all levels. It is more like a self-help book than a fundraising book. I agree with all who said this is not a how-to book, but a go-for-it book. Highly recommended.

Looking forward to the future!

As a younger person wanting to move into fundrasing into the future this book gave me the encouragement that I needed to stick with it! Its not a how to do book its a I can book!

Looking towards the Future!

As a young person looking towards moving actively into fundrasing, I appreciated this book alot. It gave me the encouragement I needed to stick it out, and understand that its not as easy as it looks, but I can do it. This isn't a how-to-book, its more of a "You can do it!" book.

Best Book on Fund Raising!

This book offers the best advise I've ever seen on Fund Raising! It is not a technical how -to- do-it book, but goes into the underlying assumptions and attitudes that are necessary to become a successful fund raiser. It gets you excited about fund raising and makes you want to run out and get started!
