Private school headmaster, Alan Morgan, is caught between an impending financial crisis at his school and a long-standing board chair that is reluctant to fundraise. Gene Benson is the executive director of a social service nonprofit that has experienced unprecedented growth in fundraising revenue over the past five years. But what can a private school learn from a social service organization about fundraising? A departure from traditional fundraising books, Schuyler Lehman, author of The Perfect Campaign and The Perfect Development Office, tells the colorful story of Alan Morgan and Gene Benson in this nonprofit leadership fable. Throughout Raising to the Challenge, Lehman demonstrates the impact and sustainable growth made possible by a relationship-based fundraising strategy. He focuses on the paradigm shift and culture transformation necessary to build a path to financial health and shows that these fundraising principals can be applied across any nonprofit organization to bring sustainable growth.
