<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>For over ten years, Peter Greer has helped HOPE International increase fundraising at an annual growth rate of 44%. Greer and philanthropist David Weekley share a counter-cultural, relational approach to fundraising. Unlike guilt-inducing gimmickry, their model inspires generosity with a Kingdom perspective that values the giver and<i> </i>the receiver.<p/><br></br><p><b> From the Back Cover </b></p></br></br><b>A Relational Approach to Fundraising<br/></b><br/>For many people, <i>fundraising</i> has become a dirty word. Conjuring images of guilt-inducing gimmickry, the predominant model saps the joy from both the donor and the receiver. But what if fundraising has the potential to be good for the giver, not just the recipient? What if it's about love and service, not just "What's in it for me?" <br/><br/>These are the questions that Peter Greer, president and CEO of Hope International, and David Weekley, one of America's most influential philanthropists, answer in <i>The Giver and the Gift</i>. Based upon their own relationship and experiences, <i>The Giver and the Gift</i> outlines a Kingdom perspective on fundraising. Instead of guilt, there is gratitude. Instead of obligation, joy. <br/><br/>It's time to dismantle certain shaky beliefs and practices, energizing a new generation of generosity. <br/><br/>"How does fundraising become a Kingdom partnership, instead of just the transfer of funds? As a person who has spent years in the middle of these partnerships, I found the book fresh, clear, and extremely helpful." --<b>Denny Rydberg</b>, president of Young Life<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Peter Greer </b>(www.peterkgreer.com) is president and CEO of HOPE International, a global nonprofit focused on addressing both physical and spiritual poverty through microfinance.
