PUBLICATIONS
By William F. Vartorella, Donald S. Keel
Review by Club member Milbry Polk Funding Exploration will be an important book for most members of the exploring community to own or indeed memorize. William Vartorella and Donald Keel between them have spent decades raising serious money for exploration, some $500 million, and in this new book they share their secrets in a well laid out point-by-point funding map. Vartorella begins the book stating that the threats to serious scientific exploration are not the environment or political unrest around the world but funds. From there the authors walk the reader through the financial minefields that hinder so many explorers and scientists. They offer hope to us through a careful examination of the process needed to create a successful expedition or long-term study. The authors discuss at some length the criteria for establishing a successful not-for-profit entity, the roles of a board, understanding and cultivating donors, the emerging role of corporations, and navigating the variety of foundations. The presentation is clear and concise. This is a must-read book.
