For a very good, very inexpensive resource on the topic, try a booklet called "Quest for Funds Revisited: A Fund-Raising Starter Kit," published by the National Trust for Historic Preservation (Information Booklet #75). Equally good on both the philosophy and techniques of fundraising, and only about $5 or so. You can get their address and phone number, etc. at www.nthp.org Chris Landry [log in to unmask]
