"Reynold Levy is a master at persuading people to give money—lots of money—to worthy causes. Now he shares his wisdom with us all—and at a bargain price!"
—Tom Brokaw
"Ren Levy is the master of his trade. He can squeeze big dollars out of a stone and he tells here just how to do it. Anyone raising money for a good cause must read this book!"
—John C. Whitehead, former Co-Chairman and Senior Partner of Goldman Sachs and former United States Deputy Secretary of State
"Ren Levy has written the definitive handbook on fundraising. It should be required reading for boards of directors and senior staff of nonprofit organizations. The lessons learned from Ren's broad experience are equally relevant to corporate executives as they endeavor to establish and strengthen customer relationships."
—Indra Nooyi, Chairman and CEO, PepsiCo
"I have raised money for a living for several decades. But I could not articulate better than Reynold Levy has done in Yours for the Asking the many secrets to successfully acquiring investors. If you wish to learn how to politely and effectively ask for contributions to a favorite organization or cause, you really need to purchase this highly readable, enjoyable and useful book."
—David Rubenstein, Co-founder and Managing Director, The Carlyle Group

"Mr. Levy is eager to share his experiences with his reader... a little too eager. There is much more space devoted to promoting the author's own successes than there is to helping you apply those lessons to your agency. I was able to glean helpful tips here and there throughout this book, but for a busy fundraiser at a smaller agency the helpful bits weren't really worth the trouble. There are better fundraising books out there."

Yours for the Asking An Indispensable Guide to Fundraising and Management Reynold Levy 9780470505533 Books Reviews
- This is a must read for all Boards of Directors, their officers and staff of all nonprofit organizations, but I believe especially small nonprofits. The author, Reynold Levy, states that NOW is the time to be raising funding. Know your need. Know whom you are asking. And Ask, and ask often. Because it IS "Yours for the Asking"
I bot my first copy from the Author and he autographed it for me. Then I bot 3 more from . One for my wife who is on 3 non profit boards, one for a friend who is the Paid Director of a non profit, and one for another non profit I support, all small. - Fabulous book! Makes you want to take on the world!
- Excellent book, Reynold Levy was instrumental in providing examples on his theories. Book was shipped and delivered quicker than expected.
- Mr. Levy is eager to share his experiences with his reader... a little too eager. There is much more space devoted to promoting the author's own successes than there is to helping you apply those lessons to your agency. I was able to glean helpful tips here and there throughout this book, but for a busy fundraiser at a smaller agency the helpful bits weren't really worth the trouble. There are better fundraising books out there.
- The bible for former and current employees of Ren Levy who wish to attempt to recreate his magic.
- There couldn't be a worst time to raise money for worthy causes and, for that reason, I can't think of a better book for anyone concerned about a non-profit's mission and financial viability. Levy has committed decades of experience into a compact and lively book that will be instructive for the professional staffs, board members and committed volunteers of almost any non-profit organization. The book balances sound practical advice with engaging and often humorous anecdotes from the author's own careers in business, philanthropy, and global public affairs. In the end, Levy demonstrates how fulfilling a professional life at the intersection of those three spheres can be.
- This is a repetitive and very elementary introduction to fund raising. I expected more from the person who raised so much money for Lincoln Center. Poor writing...not much of a book.
- I think the quality was a bit lower than I had expected, but it is good. Came in 2 days.
