Download or read book Fund Raising in the United States written by and published by Transaction Publishers. This book was released on with total page 622 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fund raising in the United States is big business. Some 350,000 nonprofit organizations employ an army of fund raisers, all competing for their share, employing the latest technology in computerized direct mail and telemarketing. The American public is swamped with appeals on behalf of this cause or that, as ever more ambitious financial goals are set. Equally intense are demands on active citizens to staff fund-raising drives; a 1987 survey found that 48 percent of Americans engage in some sort of volunteer work. Popular philanthropy, financed by organized, high-pressure fund raising, is uniquely American. This classic history of fund raising in the United States, first published in 1965, has been out of print for the last twenty-two years despite continuing demand. It covers the role of fund raising from the seventeenth century to the present, with emphasis on mass secular fund raising in the twentieth century (religious fund raising is excluded). It documents techniques and problems that are central to the profession today, as well as events and persons on the cutting edge. As both Cutlip and Schwartz indicate in this new edition, since 1964 the climate for philanthropy has been conditioned by two factors-public policies and public perception. Reduction in federal grants to charities and changes in tax policies have increased the gap between needs and resources. Public perception is also a problem, as the result of rampant scandals. Competition for the philanthropic dollar is keener than ever; but the picture is not all gloomy. Schwartz outlines nine positive trends. Among them is increasing interest in philanthropic studies in many areas of academia, including history, sociology, economics, public policy, behavioral sciences, social work, and American studies. There is also increasing interest overseas, as American approaches to fund raising become an example for other nations.

Book excerpt: This new edition of the Carnegie Classification of Higher Education groups American colleges and universities according to their missions and similarity of their programs and purposes. In this 1994 edition, for the first time, institutions are classified according to the highest level of degree conferred, and a new category is introduced--tribal colleges and universities. A foreword by Ernest L. Boyer reveals trends in higher education as indicated by changes in the classification. Preliminary figures and tables offer data on percentage of institutions within each classification area, enrollment by type of institution, and changes in enrollment over time. Part I then lists public and private institutions by state within the following classification areas: research universities (levels I and II); doctoral universities (levels I and II); master's (comprehensive) colleges and universities (levels I and II); baccalaureate (liberal arts) colleges I; baccalaureate colleges II; associate of arts colleges; and specialized institutions (religion and theology, medical, other health professions, engineering and technology, business and management, art, music, design, law, teachers colleges, and tribal colleges and universities). An index lists institutions alphabetically, along with their respective classifications. (JDD)

Download or read book Successful Fundraising for the Academic Library written by Kathryn Dilworth and published by Chandos Publishing. This book was released on 2016-10-07 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Successful Fundraising for the Academic Library: Philanthropy in Higher Education covers fundraising, a task that is often grouped into a combination role that may include, for example, the university museum or performance venue, thus diluting the opportunity for successful fundraising. Because the traditional model for higher education fundraising entails the cultivation of alumni from specific departments and colleges, the library is traditionally left out, often becoming a low-performing development area with smaller appropriations for fundraising positions. Most higher education development professionals consider the library fundraising position a stepping stone into another position with higher pay and more potential for professional advancement down the road rather than as a focus for their career. However, for universities that invest in development professionals who know how to leverage the mission of libraries to the larger alumni and friend community, the results include innovative and successful approaches to messaging that resonates with donors. This book provides information that applies to all fundraising professionals and academic leaders looking to strengthen their programs with philanthropic support, even those beyond university libraries. - Makes the case for university libraries as a viable avenue for donor engagement that translates to all academic areas of higher education fundraising - Highlights the importance of collaborative relationships and fundraising strategies with academic leaders, donors, and fundraising staff - Outlines strategies that have resulted in fundraising success for academic and research libraries at universities of varying size and culture

Book excerpt: What? Los Angeles was the original wine country of California, leading the state's wine production for more than a century? Los Angeles County was the agricultural center of North America until the 1950s? And where today's freeways soar, cows calmly chewed their cud? How could that be? Los Angeles, the capital of asphalt and Klieg lights, was once a paradise filled with grapevines and bovines, so abundant with Nature's gifts that no one could imagine a more pastoral place? Los Angeles County was the center of an agricultural empire. Today, it is the nation's most populous urban metropolis. What happened? Where did the green go? As Americans connect with gardens, farmers markets, and urban farms, most are unaware that each of these activities have deep roots in Los Angeles, and that the healthy food they savor literally had its roots in L.A. This book is for all who treasure the country's agrarian history.
