Edited by internationally renowned leaders in fundraising with contributions from top fundraising professionals who have helped advance the work of many of the most significant NGOs on earth, Global Fundraising looks at worldwide developments in philanthropy that are revolutionizing the fundraising world. Written for fundraisers and nonprofit CEOs who are turning their attention to the philanthropic potential beyond their country's borders, this book inspires with success stories from exemplary, yet little-known, international philanthropists from India, Brazil, Russia, Australia, Japan, and many other countries.

Designed to shed light on specific areas of fundraising important to the new global order— technology, innovation, and major donors—Global Fundraising explores:

  • The seven global megatrends
  • The charity giants
  • Innovation: the only competitive advantage
  • The impact of social media on global solidarity
  • Where the rich people really are
  • What giving looks like by region

A wake-up call to the fact that fundraising and philanthropy are no longer the exclusive prerogative of North Americans and Europeans, Global Fundraising's rich insights and invaluable guidance make it the definitive insider's guide to successfully engaging your nonprofit internationally.
