Read Some  Reviews

"Struggling for just the right words to make that annual appeal letter sound fresh and sincere? Need to say more than just "thank you" to a long time contributor? Gail Hamilton's new book of phrases for fundraisers will help squeeze your creativity so you can squeeze a few more dollars from your donors.

The Fundraiser's Phrase Book is, quite simply, an extensive list of phrases tied to keywords that you want to emphasize when communicating. Organized in a clear and easily accessible manner, the book is divided into a main section of key words, followed by sections targeted at specific communications such as lapsed donors, monthly giving, reply devices and envelope teasers. 

To thank a donor for his or her previous contributions, just flip to one of the sixty phrases listed under the "Thank you" and "Contribution" key words in the alphabetical list. There are nearly 1000 words indexed, many of them with handy cross references and synonyms.

The Fundraisier's Phrase Book is about engineering your communications. The book is ... a list of building blocks that you can actually use in your letters, proposals or presentations....it goes a long way to sparking your creativity, and offers an easy escape hatch when you just can't find the right words yourself.
