Very helpful!
This book and accompanying disk is a tremendous help to board members and volunteers who are perplexed about which event is the right one for their organization to sponsor. So many times well meaning volunteers and staff come up with event ideas that are not the best use of valuable volunteer and staff time. The comprehensive criteria in Chapter 2 helps lead organizations' leaders to either say, "Yes! Let's do the suggested event -- or Let's go back to the drawing board." An extra bonus is the information about a great event that has been proven to raise NEW money.

Not EventS...but Event...
While there is some great advice to be gleaned from the book, the majority of the book focuses on selling you on producing a specific type of event. Unless you want to follow their step-by-step advice and create that same event, you will find this book a disappointment as I did. I don't believe that the book lives up to its billing. Unlike the authors, I don't agree that there is a single perfect fundraising event for all organizations.

A Must Have
I just finished reading this fabulous book and I can't wait to take it to our next board meeting to share the criteria for selecting the RIGHT event for our organization. I can now understand why so many newsletters and magazines such as The Grantsmanship Center Magazine have chosen to write about this book. I enthusiastically recommend it to all organizations who need to understand how to truly make events work for an organization!!! Similar Products
