Donor Development & Fundraising

Grantspace.org has a good knowledge base and some sample documents relevant to fundraising.
The Hope International “Simple Hope” document is the most thorough introductory slide deck we have seen. Most audiences will want only a subset of this information, especially at first, but this deck proceeds from the general to the detailed in a well-organized and visually appealing way, addressing common non-financial questions somebody could have about the organization’s work. We think the best organizations should aspire to be capable of answering questions with this level of clarity, not only for external development reasons but for internal alignment.
