But how do you do that? In this ground-breaking book, global experts Bernard Ross and Clare Segal share their approach - used by major fundraising organisations from UNHCR in the Middle East to MSF in the US and from UK' s Oxford University to MEF Museum in Argentina - which has been used to secure gifts up to $110m in a single ask.
