After a financial windfall, businesswoman Lisa Greer discovered many nonprofits were inefficient and outdated in their fundraising. Shocked by their dysfunction, she dedicated her career to revamping the nonprofit sector. As a major donor and bestselling author of "Philanthropy Revolution," Greer now presents her new book, THE ESSENTIAL FUNDRAISER'S HANDBOOK: A Guide to Maximizing Donations, Retaining Donors, and Saving the Giving Sector for Good.

In this book, Greer addresses the impending historic wealth transfer in the US and offers fundraisers concrete steps to reverse declining donations. Drawing from her extensive experience and research, she provides actionable strategies for nonprofits to identify, retain, and increase financial supporters. THE ESSENTIAL FUNDRAISER'S HANDBOOK is both a critique and a roadmap for achieving long-term sustainability in the nonprofit sector.
