Did you know that people who feel that they're making a difference with their job are happier than those who don't?
They're also healthier, and live longer. And, their sense of well-being is much higher than that of people who work at a job they don't believe in. That's one reason why many high-powered executives, and even CEOs of Fortune 500 companies, decide to give to charity and get their employees to volunteer for causes they believe in.
Did you also know that there are1.9 million nonprofits in America? And that the 12.7 million people who work at nonprofits need a lot of fundraising? Did you know that the number of nonprofits grew by over 50% between 1995 and 2005? It is currently a $1 TRILLION dollar industry. Good fundraising professionals are few and far between. Fundraising professionals can do everything from write a letter to make an event happen. It's always exciting, and you're always learning. And you can make up to $150,000 a year at the larger nonprofits.
So with all of this growth and these benefits, why isn't everyone raising money for nonprofits?
To get these results, you have to be a good writer, friendly, outgoing, move past your blocks about asking for money, work 8 to 10 hours a day, often for years, and few people are willing to do this. And, fundraising, especially at first, isn't much fun. If you don't know what you're doing, the initial experience is somewhere between boring and frustrating. Finally, it takes quite a long time to notice any significant results, much less to experience the benefits I just mentioned.
But what if I told you that you could have fun and be effective in your fundraising office from the very start? Wouldn't you want to try?
And, that's what I suggest you do—try it. In fact, I'd be happy to send you and a free chapter right now, so you can see what I'm talking about. Just sign up below, and I'll send it right out to you.
Not only that, within a very short period of time—days or weeks instead of years or decades—you could begin receiving all the benefits I just mentioned—the feeling of well-being, of helping others without selling your soul, of using your talents to build relationships, to write, to organize, and to help nonprofits succeed.
And, you don't have to sell your wild, passionate soul, or spend hours a day to get all of this.
Instead, you'll be using my e-book, a book written from years of experience in the fundraising field, to give you the edge that will help you succeed in today's economic climate. It will easily and effortlessly place you in a place to do your best and work smarter, not harder.
Over the last 20 years, thousands of people have become development professionals to make dramatic, long-lasting improvements in the lives of others. You can be an aid worker, and help one person at a time, or be a development professional, and help thousands of people at a time. You can do this.
It's easy, it's exciting, it's a way to give back, and it's 100% guaranteed.
Skeptical? I don't blame you. I was too, until I learned how to fundraise. It didn't have to take years. It could have taken weeks. But I didn't have a guide or a mentor on the way, and fundraising books made me yawn. I wanted something written for me, something fun, quick, and easy to understand. My book is all of these. You won't be held back by jargon, because I write in plain english, and just in case you want to learn the jargon, I have a full glossary of fundraising terms in the back of the book. You won't be held back by obtuse descriptions. I lay it all out with short chapters and worksheets so you can take the knowledge and implement it instantly! If you order today, you get a free BONUS CD with worksheets with sample marketing plans, development plans, event checklists and budgets, sample scripts for getting new memberships, sponsorships, and more!
Using my e-book, “The Wild Woman's Guide to Fundraising” will:
| » | Help you learn all about how to get money for the cause you believe in… |
| » | Be the combination of a pep talk and a mentor as you learn about the ins and outs of fundraising… |
| » | Dramatically improve your learning curve, with fun worksheets, anecdotes, sample development plans, fundraising event plans, and more… |
| » | Show you how Social Media fundraising can yield more than just page hits. |
| » | Help you get that fundraising job, FAST, and create true quantum leaps in your self-esteem and ability to act decisively to help solve the problems of the world… |
Hello! My name is Mazarine Treyz, and in 2000 I began to learn about nonprofit fund development—and it took me all over the world! I've been to Bali, Japan, Korea, Thailand, England, France, Peru, and more, all because I was willing to try something different! Fundraising can make it easier for you to talk to people from all over the world. It can help you find a job in many different places, using your transferable skills. Reading this book will help you succeed in the nonprofit field, one of the fastest expanding fields in America and abroad. This book is a culmination of years of learning, effort, and on-the-ground tips to help you succeed.
This book will accelerate your fundraising knowledge, confidence, and give you timesaving tips that will absolutely amaze you.
What is The Wild Woman’s Guide to Fundraising?
The Wild Woman’s Guide to Fundraising is an engaging, fun book which teaches you how to make your passion for a cause into your dream job. Topics include; Fundraising in a Downturn, Dealing with Conflict in the Workplace, Net-raising, Generational and Cultural differences, the Lean Development Office, and more.
Why Go Into Fundraising?
If you thrive on change, making a difference in the world, and constantly building your skills, fundraising may be the career for you! Be warned, a lone fundraiser is like a marketing department, grantwriter, events coordinator, copywriter, outreach coordinator, volunteer recruiter and graphic designer all rolled into one.
Fundraising as a field will nurture your creativity, allow you to realize the concrete value of your efforts, learn the true meaning of gratitude, and help your cause succeed!
Why Now?
With an over $1 Trillion dollar industry and 1.9 million nonprofits (as of 2005), and 12.9 million nonprofit professionals (almost TEN PERCENT of the US economy), there are only several hundred books on fundraising, and none of these are centered on women or diverse fundraisers. I believe that making fundraising fun, and teaching more women to fundraise will help more women to succeed against oppression, and help our nonprofit sector survive this economic downturn. Our 1.9 million nonprofits all need effective, motivated fundraisers, and the Wild Woman’s Guide to Fundraising can get you started in this exciting field.

A personal message from the author:
Hello Wild Fundraiser!
Do you have a cause you're passionate about? Whether it's your local animal shelter or national aid organization, this book can help you raise the money you need. Whether you are a woman who has never had to fundraise before, or a person who has been fundraising for a few years, I feel that this book can help you.
I love helping people. My whole family does. Many people in my family are doctors. They encouraged me to be a doctor too. But after flunking Chemistry and getting a degree in English instead, I thought, “How can the skills I have now help people?”
The answer was nonprofit fund development. In this field you can keep your wild passionate spirit and use your best talents to work to solve the issues of the world. I have traveled the world, worked writing grants for orphans in Indonesia, to writing newsletters for domestic violence organizations, to creating annual appeal letters that have achieved way over goal for national organizations.
I want to share with you my secrets of how to get into the fund development field, how to ensure your first 80 days show your best side with an early win, and how to continue raising money at any time of year, with clear action plans and worksheets to make sure of your success.
I have seen fundraising groups with volunteers that did not work, and fundraising groups that did work, because the fundraiser was using the right method to help motivate their volunteers to succeed. This book will help you empower your volunteers to do even more.
I have attended fundraising events that were a loss because of lack of fundraising and solicitation knowledge, and I have had the time of my life at incredibly successful fundraising events. I will share with you the five key elements of successful events.
Please, give me an opportunity to show you how this book can change your life...and also show you the many other ways I'll give you much more than you bargained for: more information, more follow-up and support, and certainly more results!
Worst Case: You gain a real education about fundraising and how to cope with the changing fundraising climate—plus you'll see how other people are succeeding in fundraising.
And, you receive for FREE, just for trying, a free chapter on how to get a fundraising job:
| 1. | You'll see how to organize all of your fundraising practices, goals, and timelines onto one piece of paper. |
| 2. | You'll get a clear idea of which tasks are important and urgent, and which tasks are not. |
| 3. | PLUS: All the follow up support letters, to encourage you to continue in your dream of succeeding in fundraising! |
Best Case: You finally find a tool that will help you get that elusive career where you change the world, the one you've been searching for—while you thoroughly enjoy yourself in the process!
Even one of the exercises in the Wild Woman's Guide to Fundraising could change your fundraising career for the better. But as you conquer your fears about asking for money, you'll realize your special skills and talents in this field. In fact...
...you'll realize you have all of the skills you need, right now! All you need is more information. So please—join me in experiencing this remarkable tool. You have nothing to lose and everything to gain.
In conclusion, let me summarize the many real advantages of reading “The Wild Woman's Guide to Fundraising”:
| » | An introduction to a fascinating, rewarding career |
| » | How to have a successful funding event |
| » | Improved creativity and problem solving ability |
| » | Increased motivation and confidence as a fundraiser |
| » | How to write a letter that motivates donors to give |

Chapter 2. Landing the Job
Landing the first job can be tricky. This Chapter teaches you how to put your skills, traits and talents in the best light, including skill story creation, cover letter creation, how to measure your success, internet resources, and professional, high level networking tips.
Chapter 3. You’ve got the job, Girl! Now what?
The first two months are crucial. You will be under intense scrutiny to perform, especially if you have a boss who doesn’t understand development. This chapter will deal with interview questions for staff, board, and clients of the organization, and help you hone your next steps towards a development plan.
Chapter 4. Wild Women Building Relationships: How to find & cultivate donors
This Chapter goes over many ways to find and cultivate donors, on a broad scale, with average return on each method, before drilling down to Chapters with concrete exercises to help you succeed in each area.
Chapter 5: Volunteers! (Rope them, Harness them, and Ride Wild Woman!)
What do you need done? Maybe a volunteer can do it for you! Your volunteers are like gold to your organization. Here’s how to find volunteers, interview them, give them a job description, and get them working for you!

Chapter 6: Marketing your nonprofit (Talking points? Check! Squirting Daisy? Check!)
Development and marketing are NOT the same thing! This gives low or no cost tips on how to market your nonprofit, with what works and what doesn’t, including samples from new media, newspaper, magazine, outdoor advertising, radio, TV, and free snarky comments.
Chapter 7. Events! (AKA Kicking *ss and Throwing Parties!)
This Chapter covers fundraising, friendraising, and donor appreciation events, and how to have your fabulous taste in food and music be the toast of the town. Although events are the most inefficient way to fundraise, they combine the identification of your donors, cultivation and the ask all into one night.
Chapter 8. Appeal letters (Ever wanted to write beautiful letters for a living?)
Do you like writing email or letters? Do you remember the joy of receiving a beautiful letter, and sending one in return? If so, this Chapter is all about spreading your joy, and helping turn your writing skills to letters asking people to support your nonprofit.
Chapter 9. Grantwriting and Research
Keep It Simple! Dealing with jargon in the grant research, your first hurdle. We’ll jump this together, and then learn what appeals to private foundations and corporations. This chapter also deals with search words, where to look for grants, and how to successfully compete for grant money in a world with limited funders.
Chapter 10. Phone-a-thons (Wild Women, what’s your ring-tone?)
Phone-a-thons are perhaps one of the most maligned fundraising methods. And I can certainly understand if you’d prefer not to try them. Nevertheless, if you rehearse well, phone-a-thons can help you engage board members and volunteers and get the word out about your organization. Ringtones optional.
Chapter 11. Speaking engagements (or, How to Avoid Powerpoint Death)
You’re out in front of a big group of people, ready to show them why your issue is the most urgent. Wild Women, do not chicken out! Powerpoints should be as short and as funny as possible. This chapter deals with stage fright, how to give them the story, stats, and pictures to convince them to give, how to joke about the sacred cow, how to address oppressive comments or questions, and more.
Chapter 12. Making the In-Person Ask (Be Bold, Wild Woman!)
This Chapter deals with the bronco busting act of asking for large sums of money in person. Includes examples of how to cultivate your major donor prospect into a place where you can ask for money, and examples of how to coach a chief executive or board member to make a big ask.

|
Chapter 13. Internet asks (You’re the star!)
Most of the time, development professionals stay behind the scenes, letting the message or president speak for the organization (while secretly feeding all the lines). However, in this new age of internet transparency, we’ve got faces to organizations, on facebook, on myspace, on twitter, and more! This is a chance to do relationship building among your peers.
Chapter 14. Financial Reports (Map of the folded world)
How will you show the world what an awesome job you’re doing? It comes down to the numbers. How much money are you bringing in? Where is it coming from? How do you track it? What tracking software are you using? Includes tips on good software, good resources for the latest on the new software, and how to read and revamp a strategy through good financial reporting.
Chapter 15. Putting it all together: Your Development Plan! (Plan, plan and work the plan, Wild Woman!)
Here is where you REALLY want to avoid TL:DR! (Too Long, Didn’t Read) This Chapter will show the many-legged stool of a strong fundraising plan. Managing multiple streams of income will lead your nonprofit to success. This chapter will show you how to put together a one page development chart that will show everyone in your organization clearly what you are raising money for, what your goals are, when they will be met, and who will be responsible for the work.
Chapter 16. Generational and cultural differences (Listening to Wild Women)
What does it take to convince people to give to your organization? Well, it turns out it depends on their conversational (and generational) style. While you might be jumping ahead with your proposal, they might want to talk about the weather. Wild women will learn from this chapter about how to assess generational and cultural differences, and use this knowledge in fundraising techniques for planned giving and hip parties.
Chapter 17. Negotiating Conflict (Wild Women Buck the System!)
The skinny on what you’ll run into as a development professional, how to set boundaries, how to manage expectations, how to take power, how to look at different types of rank in the workplace Including boss and board profiles to help you skip through the conversational minefield with grace and alacrity.
Chapter 18. Your nonprofit in a downturn (The importance of being AWESOME)
What to do when the funding gets cut? This chapter is about staying positive in the face of incredible odds. Development is all about emotion, and your even keel keeps the ship afloat. Keep communicating, using cheap or free methods to keep your audience tuned to the right dial. Make newsworthy stories for traditional media outlets as well, and try strategies that conserve your energy while giving you the highest return, such as major donor identification, cultivation, and ask.
Chapter 19: Gold in the dust jacket: Lean Development (Efficiency is the new black)
This Chapter deals with an introduction to lean management techniques, gives concrete examples on how to do efficient development in the most inefficient sector of our economy, the nonprofit world, and makes a play for major donor cultivation strategies above all other strategies. Includes concrete examples of lean development in appeal letter batches, moves management, and more.
