Media Reviews

Few people `get' donors and fundraisers like Beth Breeze. Her encyclopaedic knowledge combines with thorough professional analysis to provide an indispensable resource for the entire voluntary sector. Ken Burnett, author, Relationship Fundraising and other books.
This book provides an important insight into the way fundraising actually works. In doing so Beth Breeze nails the lie that fundraisers force people to act against their will. Peter Grant, City University of London
