From page 10 in The Power of Grassroots Fundraising

I had to write this book because so many grassroots groups are suffering for lack of funds. They are not achieving their goals and people are going into debt for the cause. It doesn’t have to be that way.

In my career, I’ve raised over a million dollars for humanitarian and environmental causes. The teams I hired and trained have raised millions more. Now I want to share these skills.

For the record, I’m living proof that anyone can do this work. I started with no plan and no training, just desperation. Fortunately, I had the opportunity to learn from some of the best fundraisers in North America, at places like Greenpeace, Citizen Action, and the Institute for Social Justice.

Don’t beg, borrow or steal when you can fundraise.
