ABOUT THE BOOK
In their 60 years of combined experience with faith-based nonprofits, John R. Frank and Scott Rodin kept encountering the same pattern: high turnover among development staff, no driving theology of fundraising, boards confused about their role, and burned-out teams. Development 101 is their answer — a comprehensive, biblically grounded framework for building a development program that starts with theology, not just tactics, and gives boards, CEOs, and development officers a shared picture of what faithful fundraising looks like.
WHO THIS BOOK IS FOR
Written for nonprofit board directors, CEOs, and advancement officers who want to evaluate — or build from scratch — a development program rooted in Scripture rather than borrowed sales technique. It’s especially useful for boards and executives who need a shared vocabulary for what a biblically-based development strategy actually requires of them.
