Series)
by Cheryl Carter New, James Aaron Quick

- Writing
for a Good Cause: The Complete Guide to Crafting Proposals and
Other Persuasive Pieces for Nonprofits
by Joseph Barbato, Danielle S. Furlich
- Surprise! It may be a manual, and it may be aimed at those
who write to elicit money, but it is also wise, funny, and useful
for anyone who writes anything. In an informal but never sloppy
style, the authors define fundraising ("Once, it was called
begging") and offer a quick view of the nonprofit universe.
