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.
