"To think of all the time and effort I could have saved if I’d had this book years ago! Tim Crum has successfully compiled years of experience and know-how into an easy-to-understand guide on one of the most daunting tasks of running a nonprofit organization to help the animals. Creating a well-organized plan to raise funds is critical to ensuring you can serve the animals in your community for now and years to come. This book is a “must read” for any animal welfare professional or volunteer tasked with raising dollars.”

"Finally! We know we have to do it, but how to do it has always been the hard part until now. An Animals Shelter's Guide to Fundraising provides the what, where, when, who and how to fundraising. As you read, Tim carefully guides you through the preparation of several important exercises. If you complete the exercises as you read, when you are finished you have a workable plan, designed for your organization, and can immediately put what you learned to work. It's the perfect guidebook for the busy board member, volunteer or anyone looking to raise more funds for an animal shelter."

“Tim is one of the few top professionals who can “do” and “teach”. This book is for anyone who does or plans on doing any fundraising. Whether you are just beginning or you have been doing it for a while, there is something to learn for everyone. This is the best and most complete book I have read on fundraising as it walks you through from start to finish. I especially love the “activity stars”, if you stop and do each activity not only will you have a fundraising plan at the end but equally important is that you will know more about your organization and your donors. Opening a nonprofit where you exist on donations and grants 100% is quite a leap - since reading this book our organization has begun to implement its lessons and we are more confident than ever that we will reach our goals. “
