Comprehensive Read for Development Professionals

Reviewed in the United States on September 11, 2019

Verified Purchase

I kept hearing about this book when I would attend workshops and development classes. Since I was preparing for the CFRE, I was trying to read and rely on ONE book instead of a plethora of recommendations. While the book is robust, it does not cover just one area of Development and Fundraising. The book takes an “easy read” dive into the development world and does a fantastic job covering the 6 areas that would be on the test. I’m pleased to say I passed my CFRE after reading and studying this book (among other tools) for about a month straight.

I bought the first edition of this book when I finished my training to stay brushed up on the basic, left development for a few years and bought the new edition and it brought me back up to speed. Great resource and a great pace to start.

Came on time, and was in GREAT SHAPE! Thanks :) The books itself is pretty good. It's for class so it is a little bit of a dry read, but very informative.

Thanks
