Fundraising Law Made Easy

"As fundraisers, we focus on cultivating relationships with donors and inspiring them about the impact their gifts can make. But the reality is, federal and state laws play a very important role in all aspects of philanthropy, and fundraisers need to understand the legal issues that affect their work. There's no better authority than Bruce Hopkins, and Bruce's latest book covers all of the legal aspects of fundraising that beginning and experienced practitioners need to know. It is easy to read, and together with Bruce's other companion books, they all are 'must-haves' for every nonprofit organization."—Paulette V. Maehara, CFRE, CAE, President and CEO, Association of Fundraising Professionals

"With accountability for nonprofits at an all-time high, and¿the governance rules changing monthly,¿everyone in this field needs to know the basic legal rules applicable to philanthropy. As an attorney, I know how essential and powerful this information can be, especially with closing large gifts."—Laura Fredricks, JD, LLC, author of The Ask: How to Ask Anyone for Any Amount for Any Purpose

"Through five editions, I have recommended Bruce's book Starting and Managing a Nonprofit Organization to clients and students, but have wanted a book more directed to the work of the development professional. Bruce has filled this void by providing legal answers to key questions in an understandable style. Fundraising Law Made Easy has provided us with a long-needed resource for the fundraising community. A most welcome book with the growing emphasis on accountability and transparency in the nonprofit community."—Robert W.
