The Generosity Network is the essential guide to the art of activating resources of every kind behind any worthy cause. 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. Walker and McCrea show how traditional pre-scripted, money-centered, goal-oriented fund-raising techniques lead to anxiety and failure, while open-spirited, curiosity-driven, person-to-person connections lead to discovery, growth - and often amazing results.

Google gives nonprofit organizations $10,000 per month in free advertising through its Google Ad Grants program. And unlike most grants, Google's has an extremely quick application process and is very easy to get. So why do so few nonprofits participate in Google Ad Grants, and why do existing grantees struggle so much with maximizing its value to grow their organization? What's the catch?

Love the book - can't get the downloads
What made the experience of listening to The Little Book of Gold the most enjoyable?
I really enjoyed the pace and the content. Thank you!
What was one of the most memorable moments of The Little Book of Gold?
Overall I think the book has content I can implement. The AH-HA was early - spend time asking in person!
What did you like about the performance? What did you dislike?
Neutral on this subject
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
No - too much to absorb for me in one sitting.
Any additional comments?
I purchased this from Audible, so when I went to the downloads page, I don't know what the password is because I don't have a hard copy of the book to see the glossary.

perfect for small nonprofits - quick and understandable
I work for a small nonprofit and also sit on the board of an even smaller nonprofit and I thought this book was an amazing resource to not only show you a roadmap to acquire and cultivate your donors, but it is also a handy reminder even for those who have been in this field for awhile... Quick and easy to understand... he also even provides you with example conversations to have with your board and donors as well as documents on his website
