Donors are People Too

"Tim Smith’s book, Donors Are People Too, should be mandatory reading for every not-for-profit organization. It provides the secret sauce for successful fundraising and donor development. Tim is leading the effort to raise $1 billion dollars for Museum of the Bible over a five year period. Using the principles found in his book he is on track to accomplish this amazing task." —CARY SUMMERS, President, Museum of the Bible "I left the law firm world in 2000 to join the nonprofit world. As part of my career transition, I looked for every book I could find that would give me a better understanding of this new-fangled world I was entering. Fortunately, I stumbled upon Donors are People Too by Tim Smith. Through Tim’s book and interaction with him, I realized how necessary it was to put donors first rather than the cause I was advocating. Sixteen years later, I’ve been part of almost $2 billion in contributions." —WILLIAM HIGH, CEO, National Christian Foundation Heartland "The truth is, Tim Smith’s remarkable book Donors Are People Too has become a virtual Bible for the nonprofit world. It doesn’t matter if you’re with a major, national organization with serious funding, or just starting to tackle a good cause but don’t have a penny in your pocket. With Tim’s book, you’ll stop 'asking' for money and start 'inspiring' people to make a dream happen. And in the process, you just might change the world." —PHIL COOKE, PH.D., Media producer and consultant and author of Unique: Telling Your Story in the Age of Brands and Social Media
