18 Places to Find New Donors Using Fundraising Letters.

The Professional Fundraiser’s Guide to Creative and
Cost-Effective Donor Acquisition.

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.
