What Others Are Saying
“I can’t believe I have worked at the executive level in nonprofits for so long without this book as a reference. It’s so practical and accessible.”
Christine Duncan MSW, CEO, YWCA Monterey County
“Reading this book convinced me that getting and having more money does not mean overextended nonprofit leaders have to do more. I learned we do need to think differently about fundraising than the typical books advise. I’ve been involved with nonprofits for over 40 years and the Sustainable High ROI Fundraising System gave me new, fresh, and, importantly, proven ways to put an effective net-revenue-generating system in place. Every executive director needs to learn, using Joanne’s approach, how they can absolutely work less and get more! The real-life cases using her system synched it for me. I’m excited to share this incredibly valuable book with nonprofit executive directors, board members, and colleagues.”
Mary Hiland, PhD, President, Hiland Consulting
“Nonprofit professionals don’t need another book on the techniques of fundraising. What we need is an easy-to-read and practical book that shows how to put the techniques together into a system that produces measurable, immediate, and long-term results. Having read this book cover to cover, I can finally say that this is that book!”
Stephen C. Nill, JD, CEO, CharityChannel LLC
"Every time I hear a nonprofit say things like, “We’re the best kept secret in town,” “How come XYZ organization always get great media coverage, can recruit top-notch board members, and gets so much funding, while our nonprofit struggles to just get by?” or “We just need to go out and find new donors—help!” I will refer them to this book. Joanne covers the importance of collaboration instead of competition, both internally and in the community; helps nonprofits get out of the scarcity mentality that is so prevalent among them; and teaches them how to not scare away good board members with aggressive fundraising expectations. Her real-life examples of nonprofit leaders who made this system work will help the reader create a plan for their success."
