Summary: Shallow and not worth the money!
Review: First of all, I don't think that this item deserves to be called a book, because this less-than-one-hour-reading is more like a pamphlet, with 25 ideas meant to help you to become better at fundraising. The problem is that these ideas are not new and most of them have been used by anyone, except for two or three of these which seemed a bit more interesting. Apart from that, it is 90% directed to political campaigns and it's almost completely useless for any charity or non-profit organization. Generally, these ideas are not very useful anyway and all these positive reviews here really make me think that they've been written either by the authors themselves or by someone who actually has no clue about fundraising at all. I consider that this "book"'s price is too high for what you get, so you better keep looking for something better and more substantial.

Summary: Great book, great tips on fundraising.
Review: I bought this book to help my political campaign raise more money. It worked! We recently held a fundraising event and utilized the ideas in this book, and our event raised three times as much money as any other event before. I can't wait to use the tips in this book for all the other aspects of our fundraising.I highly reccomend this book to anyone who needs to raise more money. As the title says, it's guaranteed!

Summary: Just the right amount of information!
Review: I disagree with the reviewer who called this book "brief." I bought this book because my childrens' school needed to raise money for a new auditorium, and I was put in charge of the fundraising committee. This book helped a lot. Many other books on fundraising gave me information overload - I don't need to know how to judge card stock when printing up tickets for a fundraising event -- I just need to know how to make money from the event. This book WAS FANTASTIC! It gave me 25 great secrets for actually raising more money - not the nitty gritty that only confused me in other books. I heartily reccomend this book.

Review: I loved this book. I'm busy and I don't need filler pages. I need a book that gives me the important info I need and 25 Fundraising Secrets delivered just that.
I used 2 of the tips the same day I started reading the book and what do you know...they worked.

Summary: Thanks for the help!
Review: I've used several fundraising tip books to help jumpstart contrinutions to our local women's shelter. This book is definately the best. 25 Fundraising Secrets gave me some great ideas on how get new donors to our shelter, and how to get old donors to give more money. I particularly liked the sections on the "fundraising virus" and the "old man." Thanks for the help - keep up the good work!
