This issue assembles relevant chapters from previous issues that deserve revisiting and continued thought. Topics discussed include the motivation behind major donors, new roles of volunteers in development, teambuilding with trustees and staff, public and private personas of philanthropy, philanthropic fundraising and claims of accountability, campaigns as organizational transformation, inclusiveness in nonprofits, and more. For topics such as these, this issue demonstrates that we need not only to maintain but also to improve our knowledge base. This is the 47th volume of the Jossey Bass quarterly report series "New Directions for Philanthropic Fundraising."
