Good books or websites on fund raising?

[Mike Rawlins]

I'm about to travel to Southeast Asia for filming and would like to know the best way to raise money for a project. Specifically, what kind of format do I present the request in? This is my first time trying to obtain "OPM." Thanks, M.R.

If it's for nonprofit/doc work, check out Morrie Warshawski at http://warshawski.com/. That guy knows what he's talking about.

Yes, Morrie Warshawski has a book called "Shaking the Money Tree" that is the definitive text on the subject.
