Speaking from knowledge gained over the last 35 years through working with such clients as the American Red Cross and the Girl Scouts, Drucker illustrates how the "third sector", made up of not-for-profit organizations, is not only larger and more important than most people realize, but is also the fastest growing part of American society.

Philanthropist Jeff Walker and fund-raising expert Jennifer McCrea offer a fresh new perspective that can make the toughest challenges of nonprofit management and development less stressful, more rewarding - and even fun.

Book smarts
I get the feeling that this was a compilation of other people's actual experience and ideas, in fact the author may have said this out right. Having spent many years in fundraising roles, did not sound particularly authentic to me.
Some ideas.
