Resources

The following are valuable resources for executives and their operations team members. These are subject to change; the fundraisingoperations.com site provides an up-to-the-minute set of resources. However, note that exhaustive lists are pointless to generate, as the information, suppliers, and access shift too swiftly to maintain a comprehensive list. Just like the central tenet of An Executive’s Guide to Fundraising Operations, sometimes the less you know, the better. Need help? Contact Chris Cannon at ZuriGroup at cannon@zurigroup.com or 703.350.3708.

And, coming soon: More resources such as checklists, bibliographies, and case studies.
