With the demise of many governmental social programs, individual congregations and religious nonprofit organizations have been forced to pick up the financial slack -- though they often lack fund-raising expertise. Because of this shift, fund-raising has become increasingly competitive; those undertaking development work must acquire the requisite skills and sophistication quickly.
Until now, there has been no hands-on, supportive fundraising training program specifically geared to religious organizations. Ask and You Shall Receive provides a practical, comprehensive training package -- complete with leader's guide and participant's workbook -- to help the leaders and members of congregations and organizations learn new strategies and skills for raising the funds vital for continuing their good work.
