Yesterday my new books arrived at my doorstep, Raise More Money from Your Business Community. It’s always a relief to see the finished product arrive after months, or years, of work. I think this book has been in my mind for more than twenty years so it was really a rewarding experience to get it down in black and white. Coming from a business background myself, this topic has always been near and dear to me, and my hope is that the publication of this book will lead to an increase in corporate giving, pulling it out of that small minority of 5 percent of all philanthropic giving in the United States. My hope is that we will see that number rise to 10 percent because nonprofits will have learned how to better approach businesses in their communities.
You probably have some special “passion” that has been running around in your head for years, don’t you?
What ideas are in your head, or your heart?
About what are you passionate?
If you could write one book, what would its title be?
I would really like to hear what ideas you all are passionate about. Once you’ve answered that question—get started. Download the CharityChannel Press Author's Guidelines and put your passion into a proposal. Feel free to send it to me!
It really is fun and rewarding. I look at my books as a legacy. The thought that years from now when I am writing in that “Big Book,” someone here on earth will pick up one of my books, be inspired to become a better fundraiser, raise more money, learn to be a more effective volunteer, or maybe even be inspired to write a book.
I think all of us have a book in us. In fact, I was chatting with someone at my church last week and when we found out I was a writer, he said, “I am looking for a writer to write my life story.” Well I never thought about “ghost-writing,” but who knows, that might be my next venture.
