[Cash-and-caring] FW: the GuideStar Newsletter and more of their free advice

Thu Dec 6 14:34:03 UTC 2012

GuideStar has fundraising products that are free and products they sell. Here below is today’s free GuideStar Newsletter. Several of the articles look useful for us and there are links to more articles on the newsletter and, on their Home webpage, there is a link to lots more on different fundraising topics. Also, on their Home page at www.guidestar.com<http://www.guidestar.com> I found a link to a free 50-page PDF document called, “More Money For More Good,” which on a quick glance through, looks promising. (FYI, in typed documents you spell their name as all one word with a capital G for Guide and capital S for Star.)

Cordially,

Lorraine Rovig
