Product Description

Review
"In my pioneer work in the public education foundation movement, and as a former superintendent of schools, I endorse Stan Levenson's suggestions for the role of board members in starting alumni fundraising, the need to listen and establish rapport with prospective givers in a community, and his initiatives for tapping the sources of senior citizens and former teachers. Levenson's acknowledgement that more than 80% of all contributions come from donors fuels the idea that public school education foundations should exist in every community to enhance programs in our K-12 schools." (Judith R. Rovins, President 20060501)

"This book helps communities leave no stone unturned in the search for funds that will help improve student learning. In shifting our sights to the new world of big-time fundraising, Stan has made a groundbreaking, noteworthy, and lasting contribution to the field of public school improvement and reform."

(From the Foreword by Wendy D. Puriefoy, President 20060501)

"The author has effectively and painstakingly provided a blueprint that will help individuals and schools achieve success in fundraising. This is a must-read book that could change how public education works, thrives, and ultimately succeeds."

(Gerard A. Dery, Director, Zone 1, National Association of Elementary School Principals 20070501)

"Having applied for and been awarded five mini-grants this year, I feel that Dr. Levenson's book will help me take my grantsmanship to the next level. He provides a blueprint for creating successful school grant writing teams and for obtaining major grants to meet larger needs." (Andrew Goldstein, Technology Education Teacher 20070702)

"A recommended pick for school leaders who wish to move away from small-scale bake sales into big-time fundraising." (California Bookwatch, April 2007 )

"Whether you are a funding novice or a veteran grant writer, Levenson provides information that should be at the fingertips of every educator looking for financial support in today's tight budget era." (Edu-Funds, May 2007 )

Harness skills and strategies to achieve "big–time" fundraising success!

In this enlightening book, nationally recognized author and fundraising consultant Stanley Levenson shows school leaders how to move away from labor-intensive, nickel-and-dime bake sales and car washes, and into the world of big-time fundraising. Following the model used by colleges and universities, Levenson presents a wealth of practical strategies for supporting school finances by pursuing grants and gifts from corporations, foundations, the government, and individual donors.

A proactive blueprint, this resource focuses on public responsibility in helping America's public schools become world-class learning institutions. Fundraisers will learn about the entire spectrum of the fundraising process, including donor research, appeal letter and proposal writing, goal development, program evaluation, effective stewardship, budgeting, and much more! This valuable package of ready–to–use tools and strategies includes:

· Examples of winning grant proposals

· Techniques for preparing a budget

· Tips for overcoming obstacles and getting grants

· Reproducible marketing documents, campaigns, and scripts

· A list of 101 foundations and corporations interested in giving to schools

· Extensive bibliography, references, and Web sites

In this comprehensive guide, educators will find specific creative solutions for obtaining funding that will support the finest schools for our children. (20060314)
