Fistfuls of Dollars: Fact and Fantasy About Corporate Charitable Giving

Rating:
Summary: Straightforward and packed with facts & good advice!
Review: Linda Zukowski has done a real service for people who are seeking charitable funds from corporations. Her book, based on a survey of corporate grantmakers in California and the Pacific Northwest, is straightforward and absolutely packed with facts and excellent advice. She quotes actual responses grantmakers made to her questions about everything from trends in giving to the details of how to best approach them. She also provides graphs and charts, for us visually-oriented people, and an appendix that gives all the results of her survey. Her realistic and logical approach is great. I highly recommend this book, especially for anyone working with corporate donors based in the Western U.S - and anyone who needs to frame and/or justify their work with factual information about how corporate giving really works!
