About the Author

Lynne Wester is a frequent conference speaker and well known resource for donor relations and fundraising expertise. She has been featured in The Washington Post, CURRENTS magazine, The Chronicle of Philanthropy and other industry publications. Lynne created this website and blog to share her expertise, opinions, and collections of samples on a variety of topics with the greater development world and hosts a monthly webinar series. It is her personal philosophy that the goal of any great fundraising operation is to use strategic communications and interactions to foster the relationship between the organization and its constituents and friends. If we are effective with that strategy, they will be engaged in a way that drives them ever closer to embracing the organization's mission and values, they will give their money, time, and talents and volunteer to spread that same message with others, which will encourage their fellow peers to invest in a way that will enable the organization to further light the world. Using her expertise and hands-on approach, Lynne works with organizations to help them keep their focus donor driven, technology savvy, strategic, and always with a splash of good humor. She received her undergraduate degrees from the University of South Carolina and is a loyal gamecock alumna, donor, and fan, and holds a master's in strategic fundraising and philanthropy. She is the author of Four Pillars of Donor Relations.

Reviewed in the United States on September 25, 2015
This is an equally fun and informative book! Lynne's sense of humor is not lost on the reader, but it is clear she has a lot of knowledge on the topic of donor relations and its influence on non-profit fundraising. Topics range from gratitude to events, from donor communications to working with data. The chapters are short, so you can consume these one a day or several at a time. I enjoyed reading through this book a couple times and recommend it to anyone working in the industry.

Quick nonspecific donor relations anecdotes. Probably same content as blog. Title was misleading wish it had more on the trex vs kangaroo dynamic and the hurdles to meeting in the middle.

I really enjoyed the layout of the book; instead of a traditional layout where a story is told through chapters, this work is a collection of blog posts that are helpful insights with practical application.
