All Means
A Practical Guide to Funding Charitable Work in Canada
For boards facing a decision: ask for more, earn, own, borrow, or need less.
Every dollar arrives with something attached: a promise made to get it, a report owed after it, and a change, sometimes small and sometimes not, in what the organization is willing to do. All Means is about that attachment, one way of raising money at a time.
Donations, grants, government funding, earned revenue, sponsorship, membership, events, endowments, and the rest. For each, what it asks of a board before the money arrives, what it costs to keep, and what it quietly does to the mission over a decade. Written, like Charitable Ends, for the volunteer director who has to decide and the person who has to carry it out.
Why there is no date
The first draft is complete. Before it prints, the parts that describe communities Public Benefit is not part of go to those communities, and whether those parts stand is their decision. The print date waits on those conversations.
