Sondra C. Shaw; Hardcover; Buy New: $34.71

Editorial Reviews
From Booklist
Whether solicitors or donors, those involved in philanthropy will benefit from this analytical advisory. The authors have studied the causes that motivate women to contribute and the reasons major fund-raising organizations have not considered women as major contributors in the past. The development of a gender-sensitive program can benefit both sides by educating female donors, teaching volunteers how to reach women with money, and training female volunteers how to pursue major gifts from men and women. The how-to's are supplemented by profiles of significant, successful organizations and philanthropists, including a look at the work of Tracy Gary, founder of Resourceful Women, an educational and funding agency that helps women with business start-up, investments, and management of inherited wealth. Denise Perry Donavin.
