Nonprofit Fundraising Hacks by Salvador Briggman Pdf

This book will help to level the playing field, so that you can compete with some of the bigger organizations out there in the nonprofit industry. You'll discover science-backed ways to get more funding for your nonprofit. These are breakthrough marketing strategies that are easy to implement and just plain work. They are psychological tricks that you can use to raise more money from your existing donors (or new ones). I have to be honest with you though. Having been an online marketer for eight years, I've come into contact with these principles many times.In fact, I'd go so far as to say that most successful nonprofits and established companies use these tactics. It's because they're proven to work to raise more funds. However, they aren't introduced to the millions of nonprofits throughout the world. You have to operate in the dark and you're left wondering how to make ends meet at the end of the month. That's not fair! Mark my words, some of them will boggle your mind. When you begin to act on the advice, you'll start to see results that not only affect your bottom line, but also give you the power to help more people.At the end of the day, that's all that matters, isn't it? The people you're helping. The way you're impacting the world for the positive. This fundraising guff isn't all that fun or exciting. What's more, you spend so much of your time doing it. That's why I wanted to put together a paint by numbers formula for handling this area of your operations, once and for all. Once you harness this linchpin skill, you won't ever have to worry about how you'll pay next month's bills.Instead of struggling to stay afloat, you'll have a rock-solid fundraising plan in place, and be able to live an empowered life. If you're fed up with seeing the big-boys cash in on fundraising, and annoyed that there isn't better training out there for nonprofit leaders, like you, then this is the book for you. I want to bring some of these effective for-profit marketing techniques to the nonprofit world so that you can impact more people at a fraction of the cost. As you know, that's the name of the game. The more you know, the easier it will be for you to navigate this changing terrain.

Money in the Great Recession by Tim Congdon, CBE Pdf

No issue is more fundamental in contemporary macroeconomics than the causes of the recent Great Recession. The standard view is that the banks were to blame because they took on too much risk, ‘went bust’ and had to be bailed out by governments. But very few banks actually had losses in excess of their capital. The counter-argument presented in this stimulating new book is that the Great Recession was in fact caused by a collapse in the rate of change of the quantity of money. The book’s argument echoes that on the causes of the Great Depression made by Friedman and Schwartz in their classic book A Monetary History of the United States.
