When it first appeared in 1994, Shaking the Money Tree became an instant classic in the field of fund raising for independent non-commercial film and video. Now consultant Morrie Warshawski has created a new, completely revised and updated version that gives filmmakers the full story on how to get grants and donations from individuals, foundations, government agencies and corporations in the 21st century.
Morrie Warshawski, who lives in Ann Arbor Michigan, is an arts consultant, facilitator, and writer who has spent over 25 years working with organizations and individuals throughout the United States.
