Let’s Help Ourselves

Description

This is somewhat a Specialist Publication, an encyclopedia devoted to “FUND RAISING AND MANAGEMENT SKILLS”, as the introduction puts it. The book is aimed at small Non-Governmental Organizations, which are willing to work but often find the job of finding funds for their projects a real grind. Sometimes because the presentation is incomplete or poorly written, sometimes the objectives are not properly spelt out and sometimes because the NGO’s officials are clueless, the result can be a frustrating, fruitless search for sponsors. The author, who has many years of experience in the field, sets out to help “every development worker to become an expert himself/herself’. It contains a formidable directory of agencies and non-profit organizations that can be tapped for funds, with all relevant details. There is a lot of other useful information as well for the potential NGO. — THE NEW INDIAN EXPRESS, 07.02.2010
This Encyclopedia of project proposals is a boon to many small NGOs looking for funding opportunities. The author has shared more than 250 successful proposals, fund raising documents in this edition, covering almost all the topics. This is probably one of the pioneering efforts to document patterns of successful project proposals. NGOs can, with the help of this book, learn to raise funds for their projects from various sources. — THE NEW LEADER, JUNE 1-15, 2009
