Tips for Highly Effective Fundraising: CompuMentor's International Fundraising Developer Shares Her Secrets

Tips for Highly Effective Fundraising
CompuMentor's International Fundraising Developer Shares her Secrets

By Jody Mahoney, Senior Director of CompuMentor

Fundraising is the toughest job in the nonprofit sector, but it's also the most fun and rewarding. The key is to know whom to leverage in order to tell your story. Development should engage everyone in the organization -- it shouldn't be reserved just for the executive director or the development director. While not as schooled in asking for funding, program directors can also be great fundraisers, and even better storytellers -- and, they actually have significant influence with grantmakers, allowing them to present ideas in a more meaningful way.

Being There: Faith on the Frontlines

Being There:  Faith on the Frontlines

Successful Models of Faith-Based, Cross-Sector Collaboration from the 2006 Partners in Transformation Awards Program

 

by Amy L. Sherman, FASTEN Editorial Director, 2006

 

 

Summary:

 

Hurricane Katrina brought America’s attention not only to the immense destruction of such a disaster but also to the astounding men, women, and organizations that moved in to care for the victims and rebuild families, homes, and whole cities.  In 2006, FASTEN  investigated the programs in which the faith community and organizations outside the faith community joined together to help communities through either natural or man-made disasters.   

 

Therefore, the 2006 Partners in Transformation Awards Program was open to ten states that have recently faced such a disaster:  Alabama, California, Florida, Louisiana, Mississippi, New York, North Carolina, Oklahoma, Texas, and Virginia. 

Winners were chosen for their innovative and effective multi-sector collaborations in one of three disaster-related categories:  Short-Term Emergency Disaster Response, Long-Term Community Recovery and Rebuilding Efforts, and Services Addressing Deep Pockets of Poverty.  This report offers descriptions of the award winners and semifinalists as well as best practices learned from the contest applicants.

Blackest darkness is reserved for them

Submitted by Neiswonger on vr, 06/12/2009 - 17:01

“Blackest darkness is reserved for them.”

(In Response)

Should we obey the authorities that God has given for our personal good and the harmonious interaction of society? Well of course. For the Christian I think that should go without argument.

If the worry were that some might use that authority in an abusive or over-reaching way, well again I would say, of course. Any due authority given can be a due authority abused. But that doesn’t mean that the essential authority is not a good in itself, just that the due authority has been used in a way that is out of proper alignment with its God given intent.

Drought is back on the Prairies

Submitted by Jordon on do, 07/02/2009 - 20:09

From the Globe and Mail

All across western Saskatchewan and southern Alberta, farmers are scanning crop-insurance policies and calculating how short they’ll be on payments this year as one of the worst droughts on record parches their land and their bank accounts.

The dry conditions are also wreaking havoc on local wildlife, prompting watering bans and spoiling Canada Day parties.

While some regions have seen the driest June on Environment Canada records, researchers who’ve studied longer periods of prairie weather say this could be the start of something worse.
