Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The study presents data from a survey of 70 colleges, hospitals, museums and other non-profits about how they pursue bequests and what their results have been in recent years. The study helps its readers to answer questions such as: What percentage of total funds raised are accounted for by bequests? How much staff time are advancement and fundraising staff's spending on bequests? How are colleges, hospitals and other non-profits publicizing their pursuit of bequests? What methods are most effective? What are the age and other demographics of bequest grantors? For colleges, what percentage of bequests come from alumni? For all non-profits, what percentage of bequest grantors are prior donors to the organization? How many organizations reimburse bequest grantors certain expenses related to gifts of property and under what circumstances? What percentage of bequests are unrestricted? What percentage residual bequests? What are the costs of bequest campaigns? Just a few of this 94-page report's findings are that: 44.34% of the bequests granted to colleges in the sample were unrestricted meaning that the recipient has full discretion over how the funds are spent. For hospitals, the same figure was 74.4%.73.61% of the organizations sampled have a web page on the organizational website about how to leave a bequest to the organization.9.04% of the bequests granted to the institutions sampled over the past five years came from individuals aged 50] to 60. In general, the more money raised annually, the greater the percentage of bequests accounted for by so called residual bequests.

Download or read book Inside the Mind of the Bequest Donor written by Russell James and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2013-04 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Combining new fMRI neuroimaging results from his lab at Texas Tech University with experimental psychology, psychological theory, and survey research, Dr. Russell James leads the reader inside the conscious and subconscious processes engaged by bequest decision-making. Although many fundraisers think that legacy giving is just like any other form of fundraising, these new studies using fMRI (functional magnetic resonance imaging) show just how differently the brain reacts to legacy decisions. This lively presentation by the author of the world's first published peer-reviewed research examining charitable bequest decision-making using fMRI is no dry academic textbook. Including more than 300 visual slides taken from his public lecture presentations, the book presents intensely practical suggestions for dramatically increasing success in planned giving, legacy fundraising, and estate planning.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Based on original research, this first volume of a set of groundbreaking new books sets out a framework for analyzing sustainable urban development and develops a set of protocols for evaluating the sustainability of urban development. Protocols included are for sustainable urban planning, urban property development, urban design, the construction, operation and use of buildings. Using these protocols, the book goes on to provide a directory of environmental assessment methods for evaluating the sustainability of urban development and also maps out how these assessment methods are being transformed to evaluate the environmental, economic and social sustainability of urban development. Web-based applications are increasingly being used to support this transformation and the contributors deftly cover this application and issues concerning the use of information and communication technologies for evaluating the sustainability of urban development are also dealt with. With its multidisciplinary approach, Sustainable Urban Development presents key new material for postgraduates and professionals across the built environment.

Download or read book The History of Bethlem written by Jonathan Andrews and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-06-17 with total page 772 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bethlem Hospital, popularly known as "Bedlam", is a unique institution. Now seven hundred and fifty years old, it has been continuously involved in the care of the mentally ill in London since at least the 1400s. As such it has a strong claim to be the oldest foundation in Europe with an unbroken history of sheltering and treating the mentally disturbed. During this time, Bethlem has transcended locality to become not only a national and international institution, but in many ways, a cultural and literary myth. The History of Bethlem is a scholarly history of this key establishment by distinguished authors, including Asa Briggs and Roy Porter. Based upon extensive research of the hospital's archives, the book looks at Bethlem's role within the caring institutions of London and Britain, and provides a long overdue re-evaluation of its place in the history of psychiatry.
Download or read book At Any Cost written by Thomas F. O'Boyle and published by Vintage. This book was released on 2011-01-12 with total page 482 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "O'Boyle has researched and written a monumental book that should be mandatory reading for all CEOs and anyone concerned with business ethics." --The Philadelphia Inquirer "Superb . . . a spirited study of General Electric, and of its sometimes brilliant, sometimes bungling, but always ruthless boss, Jack Welch." --Chicago Sun-Times With convincing passion and meticulous research, Thomas F. O'Boyle explores the forces behind General Electric's rise to the top of Wall Street, questioning if GE, with chief executive officer Jack Welch at the helm, is still "bringing good things to life." Welch--explosive, profit-hungry, and pragmatic--catapulted GE's stocks to the top, up 1,155 percent from 1982 to 1997. O'Boyle argues that these astounding results have come only with the heavy price of employees' lives, blighted under the tyranny of "Neutron Jack" Welch, so named for his bomb-like ability to eliminate staff without disturbing surrounding operations. During Welch's reign, hard-nosed success tactics--unblinking downsizing, ruthless acquisition negotiations, and the virtual abandonment of manufacturing in favor of the more glamorous entertainment and financial services industries--coexist with scandals like price-fixing, pollution, and defense contract fraud. Sure to spark controversy, this gripping, comprehensive account begs the greater question: Is Jack Welch's GE a model company for business in the next century, or is it time to change the way the world does business? "Smoothly written and thoroughly researched." --USA Today "This book makes a valuable contribution to our understanding of corporate America. . . . Thomas F. O'Boyle persuades you that GE--Jack Welch's GE--brings bad things to life. In abundance." --Washington Monthly
