18 Places to Find New Donors Using Fundraising Letters.
The Professional Fundraiser’s Guide to Creative and
Cost-Effective Donor Acquisition.
By Alan Sharpe

H
ave you ever studied your best donors and wished you could clone them all? Maybe you can, with a bit of creative thinking.
New donors are a lot closer than you may think. And persuading them to make that first donation need not be as hard—or as expensive—as acquiring them in other ways.
But before you rent a list of names or drop anything in the mail, examine the people you are approaching with your direct mail appeal to make sure they are good prospects for a donation today—and tomorrow.
18 Places to Find New Donors Using Fundraising Letters,
the seventh Handbook in the Hands-On Fundraising Series, published by Andrew
Spencer Publishing, is the professional fundraiser’s guide to creative and cost-effective
donor acquisition.
