Summary

Free strategy charts, sample ask letters, and the “choosing the right strategy” grid from Kim Klein and Ben Roth — the standard practitioner resources for small-budget, individual-donor and house-party fundraising.

Body

https://grassrootsfundraising.org/

Grassroots Fundraising publishes the working materials from Kim Klein’s fundraising workshops: a fundraising-readiness assessment, a “choosing the right strategy” grid (event, major-donor ask, small-donor ask, house party, planned giving), sample ask letters at three donation levels, a donor-acknowledgement protocol, and a board-giving template. The resources are explicitly written for small-budget, volunteer-led, social-justice organizations — not for major-party electoral or institutional fundraising. Some resources are CC-licensed; the Klein books themselves are ARR. Verify which item is free on the page before quoting. [source: klein-roth-grassroots-fundraising]
