This book is a stimulating and useful resource for fundraising with a social conscience….a serendipitous collection of practical vignettes – motivated by compassion and service.

This ground-breaking new work offers a comprehensive overview of the complexity of charitable fundraising. This book melds what Vincent de Paul called the “practical and the possible,” with case studies and stories from dedicated and experienced people in this field.

This short, easy-to-read book is both inspirational and practical. From Vincent, the reader learns three valuable insights that are as relevant today as they were 400 years ago: Respect donors; prepare fundraisers to understand that this work is a sacred ministry; and reverence the recipients.

This is a book about fundraising—by Vincentians—for Vincentians. It founds our search for funds in our spiritual roots while providing practical, actually-used fundraising methods by United States Vincentians across the Family.
