Practical advice on how to spend money the right way. Volunteer program budgets are rarely large, so it's important to know what you want to do before you incur expenses. And the right strategies may even help you to gain more funds to make a difference.

A passage from the text:

"As many managers of volunteer programs with minuscule to nonexistent budgets would attest, money alone does not make an outstanding program, but it sure can help. When money does become available, the best way to spend it might be to first spend none at all. Get your bearings, see where you’ve been, where you are, where you want to go, and where dreams might take you. Releasing the purse strings only after careful consideration takes patience and constraint; your reward is a greater return on your investment."
