Download or read book New Strategies for Educational Fund Raising written by Michael J. Worth and published by Rowman & Littlefield Publishers. This book was released on 2002-11-30 with total page 449 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this sequel to the highly respected and practical 1993 book on fund raising, Worth and his group of authoritative contributors cover areas that did not even exist in this field in 1993, including the concepts of "principal gifts" and "benchmarking." They adapt strategies from Worth's earlier book and introduce many new ones to meet current challenges and take advantage of new opportunities. Comprising 31 chapters divided into ten logical parts, the authors provide a complete picture of this field, which is so important to leaders in higher education. Beginning with a strong base of knowledge, the authors then discuss topics ranging from raising funds from individuals; creating the campaign (accounting, long-range planning, leadership, the mission, kickoff); corporate and foundation support; traditions of giving; managing and supporting development programs; ethical concerns; and trends for the future. Michael Worth gives a great deal of attention to the environment in which those responsible for advancement in higher education have to work today. The book addresses new areas in the field that didn't exist when Worth wrote his first edition of this book in 1993. For example, the use of financial instruments in the planning of gift giving are more sophisticated, and business techniques have been tapped to improve management of programs and measurement of success. Part II of the book describes the underlying foundations of educational fund raising in three chapters, each written by an expert contributor. This section of the book describes the base of knowledge in the field (theory and research) and discusses the institutional plan and its relationship to the goals and objectives of the institution. Part V, covers corporate and foundation support, which is based on reasoned strategies and business plans and goals rather than on altruism and emotion, which can often be the foundation for individual giving. The book also includes a glossary and a selective bibliography.

Download or read book The Local Education Foundation written by George W. Neill and published by . This book was released on 1983 with total page 28 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This short booklet explains the education foundation approach to raising money for schools, describes how administrators or boards of education can start an education foundation, and presents profiles of six foundations throughout the country. The author emphasizes that, of all the attempts to find supplementary school funds, the local nonprofit education foundation, offering tax deductions to donors, has been the most successful. Outlined are the Ford Foundation program to aid groups forming local education funds, how to start a foundation, where to find money, what principals can do, the advantages of being independent from the school district, the importance of choosing appropriate members for the foundation board and who these might be, why small grant programs have been successful and how to start them, and the teachers' role. Specific "Do's and Don'ts" are suggested, including getting a volunteer lawyer to fill out nonprofit forms, funding specific dynamic programs, and beginning with a pilot school. Key questions asked by school administrators and their answers are listed. The six case studies of foundations are intended to show the wide variety of approaches communities are using to start foundations to improve education. (JM)

Download or read book Development for Academic Leaders written by Penelepe C. Hunt and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2012-10-02 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: DEVELOPMENT FOR ACADEMIC LEADERS In addition to their other duties, academic leaders are expected to network with potential donors and to be productive and enthusiastic fundraisers. More often than not, however, academic leaders are given little or no training on how to be savvy fundraisers for their institutions. Development for Academic Leaders is a much-needed resource that offers a concise yet comprehensive guide to fundraising for those who are new to the process. The book clarifies roles, responsibilities, programs, activities, politics, and funding sources as well as offering a review of the overall process. Written by Penelepe C. Hunt, a successful practitioner of and noted expert in academic fundraising, the book includes information on attracting and retaining effective development officers and contains suggestions for deans (and other campus leaders) for working effectively with these valued members of their institutions. Hunt introduces novice fundraisers to the cycle of giving (identification, qualification, cultivation, solicitation, and stewardship) and provides information on how and when to take part in the fundraising process. She defines the various types of funding including annual gifts, major gifts, planned gifts, and principal gifts and reveals why ascertaining which type of gift will be most appealing to a donor is an important part of planning for a successful solicitation. Development for Academic Leaders also contains suggestions for overcoming reluctance on the part of leaders to ask potential donors for a gift. Hunt explains that donors do not give merely because our programs need and deserve support. They give because of their own desires, passions,and aspirations. Development for Academic Leaders also reveals the importance of participating in your institution's overall development communications efforts and offers a general overview of campaign and event principles and how you can use these funding strategies to the advantage of your college. For any academic leader who participates in their program's fundraising efforts, this important resource offers a wealth of information for becoming a creative, skilled, and successful part of the fundraising team.
