Bob Connolly is a community leader, trainer, and organizer whose company has helped religious and community organizations raise over a billion dollars during the past thirty-plus years. In this addition to ACTA’s popular community organizing series, he points out: “Money is an expression of our values—an expression of what we believe in, what is important to us, our self-interest. I often tell people in my workshops: If you want to know what you really believe in, look in your checkbook. If you want to know what people value, don’t listen too much to what they say; trust and respect what they do—particularly with whatever money they have.”
​
For community organizations, especially, money provides independence. No one from the “outside” can set the agenda for an organization that can raise hard money.

In this invaluable and timely booklet, Connolly gives specific, practical, tried-and-true advice—laced with examples, humor, and stories—on how community organizations can raise on an ongoing basis the money they need to succeed. He succinctly covers the issues of recruiting and training the leadership; developing relationships with those inside and outside the organization; and choosing the best strategies to employ to insure the right “mix” of money for an organization. He gives a detailed outline of institutional dues, individual-donor campaigns, earned income, and endowments and bequests. He describes the art of making an “ask,” the need to develop “money radar,” and a few of his personal fundraising “nuggets” that can’t be found anywhere else. Topics include:
• Strategy 
• Annual Individual-Donor Campaigns
• How to Make an “Ask” 
​• Developing Your Money Radar
