Through engrossing personal stories, a wealth of innovative suggestions, and inspiring examples, they show nonprofit leaders how to build a community of engaged partners who share a common passion and are eager to provide the resources needed to change the world—not just money, but also time, talents, personal networks, creative thinking, public support, and all the other forms of social capital that often seem scanty yet are really abundant, waiting to be uncovered and mobilized. Highly practical, motivating, and thought provoking, The Generosity Network is designed to energize and empower nonprofit leaders, managers, donors, board members, and other supporters. Whether you help run a multimillion-dollar global nonprofit or raise funds for a local scout troop, PTA, or other community organization, you’ll learn new approaches that will make your work more successful and enjoyable than ever.

Download or read book Come for Dinner written by Kelly Connor Harvey and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 158 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Professional fundraisers utilize a diverse range of tools to cultivate sustainable means of financial support for an organization. One method of attaining funds is through the execution of well-planned special events. Fundraising special events manifest in a wide variety of forms, from black-tie galas to backyard raffles, depending upon the organization and the benefit cause. In researching a variety of special events held for the benefit of fine art museums across the country, I was introduced to the idea of the "dine-around." This special event concept hinges on the willingness of individuals to under-write the cost of a ticketed dinner event for the benefit of an organization. For this project, I adapted the dine-around concept to fit the needs of the Samuel P. Harn Museum of Art and the Gainesville community. This thesis project, "Come for Dinner," encompasses both the planning of a series of eleven self-sustaining dinner events and the creation of the Exhibition Circle. All proceeds from the "Come for Dinner" events will benefit exhibitions at the Harn Museum of Art. These exclusive dinners are inspired by and highlight current museum exhibitions and will be held monthly at the home of a member of the Exhibition Circle.In addition, a guest of honor or local art personality will be present at each dinner to facilitate conversation and entice guests to attend the event. Admittance to the dinners requires purchase of tickets in advance and membership to the Exhibition Circle requires an additional donation of $5,000 or greater. This two-tiered fundraising effort is designed to meet the monetary goal of $100,000 after one complete series of dinner events. The "Come for Dinner" series is a novel addition to the extensive fundraising efforts of a variety of organizations that presently occur in the Gainesville community. Due to the close connection each dinner has to the exhibitions at the Harn, the event will be branded in connection with the museum, making it the Harn Museum of Art's annual signature fundraising event. In addition to being a fundraiser, "Come for Dinner" is designed to enhance community relations through 'friend-raising,' provide publicity and increased visibility for the museum, introduce the museum to new audiences, and demonstrate the Harn's dedication to producing a wide variety of challenging, innovative exhibitions.
