It is rare to be able to access the deep expertise and wise counsel
of a genuinely expert practitioner in such a concise and
well-structured book. So many great messages and much values-based
guidance. Definitely a must read.Emeritus Professor Glenn Bowes AO,
MBBS PhD FRACPFormer Associate Dean Advancement, University of

A combination of vision, values, strategy, compelling communication
via stories and practical advice make this a significant resource
for school leaders. Philanthropy is not fundraising. If you are
unsure of the difference, this is the book for you.Allan Shaw Ass

School
There are a number of things common across third sector
organisations; one is the need for friend and fundraising, another
is how inexperienced the sector is in achieving either. This book
provides an accessible, 'hands on' guide, written by an expert in
the field with supportive tools to start or refine your approach to
attract and retain philanthropic support. Whilst the book has a
school focus, the contents extend to all third sector
organisations.Dr John Ballard, BA MHA DBA GAICDCompany director,
Former Associate Vice Chancellor ACU and NFP CEO
The accumulated wisdom and experience in this book are invaluable.
It is a resource every independent school needs.Gabby Montagnese,
ABPB MAICDFormer CEO New Age Caravans, Active philanthropist, Board
member, Eltham College
I admire anyone who has the courage to write about culture. And I
particularly admire someone who encourages a culture of giving to
support something as essential as education.This book should be
compulsory reading for anyone contemplating a school fundraising
program. It contains the wisdom of a lifetime's devotion to this
critical task.Simon McKeon AO, BCom LLB Melb. HonDPH La Trobe
