      Chapter 2 describes the anatomy of charitable fundraising. The chapter summarizes the various methods of fundraising, the different roles of a fundraising professional, and the role of nonprofit accountants and lawyers. The chapter also describes various viewpoints of regulators and includes descriptions of certain factual aspects of fundraising for charity, including the types of organizations encompassed by the various laws and the rules of those individuals who are, along with the charities themselves, enmeshed in this regulatory process.

      The many laws governing the process of soliciting gifts for charitable purposes principally apply, of course, to charitable organizations and those who raise funds for them. Thus, it is necessary to understand the scope of the term charitable organization as it is employed in these laws.
