Beyond Fund Raising: New Strategies for Innovation and Investment in Nonprofits, John Wiley & Sons, 1997.

High Impact Philanthropy: How Nonprofit Boards, Organizations and Volunteers Can Transform Communities, John Wiley & Sons, 2001. Co-Author, Alan Wendroff. Written at the emergence of the "new philanthropy," "HIP" frames high impact philanthropy as the result of engaging donor-investors in transformational giving. Contrasting the transformational "infinity loop" process with the transactional "bell curve" approach to fund raising, vision is developed as the strongest donor motivation. Stewardship is positioned as the strategy that keeps donors in a continuing transformational relationship.

Over Goal!What You Must Know to Excel at Fundraising Today, Emerson & Church, 2003. This book is a compilation of Kay's most-read articles from Contributions, a journal for the development profession. The articles cover the "A - Z" of fund raising and organizational management for nonprofits, and each was edited and updated before the publication of the book. Each article is just several pages, and readers report that it is an excellent reference for quick pointers on everything from annual appeals to board relations.

The Ultimate Board Member's Book, Emerson & Church, 2003, is the most recent work. A "One Minute Manager" for board members, this no-jargon, highly readable book is 112 pages long and can be read in under an hour. Praise for the book has been resounding, and the publisher offers quantity purchase discounts that have led to many organizations buying as many as 100 copies for distribution to current and future board members as well as staff.
