99 Sparks for Doing
the Work Differently
A spark for a different way forward
Fundraising is a discipline.
Let’s treat it like one.
Drawing on experience leading fundraising programs, Christine Stevens brings candor, humor, and practical judgment to the decisions nonprofits make about donors, staff, boards, and revenue.
Across 99 sparks, the book questions the habits that keep organizations busy while distracting them from the work that produces philanthropic support. It makes the case for knowing the people who care about your mission, making thoughtful invitations, and following through.
The ambition is a fundraising program that creates opportunities for extraordinary giving regularly enough to change what extraordinary means.
