New Directions for Philanthropic Fundraising: Reprising Timeless Topics, No. 47, edited by Lilya Wagner and Timothy L. Seiler, of the Indiana University Center on Philanthropy, collects previously published essays that remain relevant to fund raisers today. Contributors, including H. Peter Karoff, of the Philanthropic Initiative, and Paul G. Schervish, of Boston College and Indiana University, and Claire L. Gaudiani, of New York University’s Heyman Center for Philanthropy and Fundraising explore topics such as why donors give and what obstacles can prevent people from becoming active supporters of charities. The authors also offer their perspectives on using capital campaigns to shape an organization’s goals, tapping into diverse groups of donors, forming fund-raising teams, and involving volunteers in raising money. All the articles appeared in New Directions for Philanthropic Fundraising in the past.
