A practical guide to the challenges and successes of global fundraising, written by an international team of highly respected philanthropy professionals and edited by two of the leading nonprofit thinkers, Global Fundraising is the first book to genuinely offer a global overview of philanthropy with an internationalist perspective. As the world becomes more interdependent, and economies struggle, global philanthropy continues to increase. More than that, nonprofits are taking up roles that have traditionally been filled by the government-including social welfare, healthcare, and human rights. Global Fundraising provides complete coverage of the implications of this growth for nonprofit culture and how it drives changes in fundraising practices. Organized into thematic chapters-a mixture of geographic and topical issues-it places North American philanthropy in a wider context It features a companion website with a variety of online tools and materials The book includes contributions by international leading experts Matt Ide, Mair Bosworth, Usha Menon, Anup Tiwari, Paula Guillet de Monthoux, Angela Cluff, Norma Galafassi, Mike Muchilwa, Tariq Cheema, Lu Bo and Nan Fang, Masataka Uo, Chris Carnie, Sean Triner, Andrea McManus, Marcelo Inniarra, Ashley Baldwin, Rebecca Mauger, YoungWoo Choi, R.F. Shangraw, Jr., Sudeshna Mukherjee, and Anca Zaharia. The book skillfully tracks how the world of fundraising is changing rapidly due to a number of factors including: continuing growth of great wealth; non-profit innovation emerging everywhere; growth of indigenous NGOs; increased professionalism in fundraising; and the value and role of new and social technologies. Written by a team of philanthropy leaders, Global Fundraising offers timely coverage of fundraising around the world. A must-have for INGO leaders and anyone, anywhere, interested in the future of philanthropy and effective fundraising practices. Praise for Global Fundraising "This book focuses on critical issues such as infrastructure, strategy, regulation, and impact. The content is inspiring, practical, and amazingly refreshing. Penelope and Bernard have made complex theoretical issues fun to read!" -Neelam Makhijani , Chief Executive, Resource Alliance "The Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement needs to be at the forefront of global fundraising to deliver on its vital humanitarian mission. I welcome this book as a great primer for National Societies globally to improve their fundraising work. Bernard Ross is an inspirational fundraiser and a great advisor to have on your side." -Sir Nicholas Young , Chief Executive, British Red Cross "This book is a must-read for CEOs and fundraisers who work within a global context or are considering entering. The information is a comprehensive treatment of the global fundraising picture including the specific areas of major gifts, grant-making to online giving, and how social media can have an impact. I'm sure this book will become a pillar for educational institutions that teach international third-sector management or a fundraising curriculum. This book will certainly become required reading for us at Make-A-Wish International. I highly recommend this book by Penelope Cagney and Bernard Ross." -Jon Stettner , President and CEO, Make-A-Wish( Foundation International "Global Fundraising is filling an important gap in our knowledge of philanthropy with global perspectives. It provides fair coverage of regions that have evolving characteristics and shifting trends of philanthropy as is the case in the Arab region, caused by developments resulting from the Arab Spring. Definitely an important book to have." -Dr. Atallah Kuttab , Chairman, Board of Directors, SAANED for Philanthropy Advisory, Arab Region "What a great source of information! Global Fundraising gives you a detailed and exhaustive presentation of the latest international fundraising trends. It is an asset to the nonprofit world, an invaluable resource for any fundraiser who is willing to cross national borders and for those who would like to know more about other countries' trends and find new ideas to implement. I couldn't think of a better book for both young students and established professionals to broaden their knowledge about the increasingly global philanthropy world." -Valerio Melandri , Professor and Director, Master in Fundraising, University of Bologna
