ST JOHN’S, NL, CANADA, October 13, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ — Grovential announces the publication of “The SMART Fundraiser: Raise More. Stress Less. Fund Your Mission with Strategy, Not Struggle” by Catherine Iheme, MBA. The comprehensive book addresses one of the most pressing challenges facing nonprofit leaders and social entrepreneurs: securing sustainable funding without overwhelming stress.
“The SMART Fundraiser” provides a step-by-step roadmap for social entrepreneurs, tech founders, and nonprofit leaders seeking to navigate the complex funding landscape. From grant writing to investor pitches, the book covers proven strategies that help organizations raise capital while maintaining focus on their core mission.
“I’ve seen far too many brilliant entrepreneurs and nonprofit leaders struggle, not because their ideas weren’t good enough, but because they were approaching fundraising the wrong way,” says Catherine Iheme, MBA, founder of Grovential. “This book teaches readers how to show funders why supporting their mission is a smart investment, not just a charitable contribution.”

• Grant Writing Mastery: Learn how to craft compelling proposals that stand out in competitive application processes
• Investor Relations: Discover how to pitch to angel investors and venture capitalists with confidence
• Sustainable Revenue Systems: Build diversified income streams that reduce dependence on single funding sources
• Strategic Storytelling: Master the art of blending data with emotion to create narratives that inspire action
• Relationship Building: Develop long-term partnerships with funders rather than one-time transactions
The book includes practical worksheets, templates, and real-life case studies from organizations that have successfully secured millions in funding.
“The SMART Fundraiser” is designed for:
• Nonprofit leaders seeking grant funding and donor support
• Social entrepreneurs pursuing investment capital
• Small business owners exploring funding options and tech founders
