| Publisher Description: Between government cutbacks, shrinking endowments, and business belt-tightening, the nonprofit sector may end up being the biggest victim of today's topsy-turvy market that few even hear about. But this does not mean that nonprofits aren't just as vital as before--if not more so--or that yours cannot receive the regular funding it needs to fulfill the mission you heroically set out to do. But it's going to take the same type of advanced organizational and competitive strategies that the most successful for-profit businesses have utilized in order to remain atop the leader board.Bridging the gap between theory and practical methods, The Nonprofit Fundraising Solution shows readers how to: - Ensure that executive leadership and board dynamics fully support fundraising initiatives - Build a broad constituency of donors aligned to the mission - Determine the right level of funding diversification - Use tactics such as challenge drives, stretch gifts, and corporate matching; parlor gatherings; leadership councils; year-end drives; corporate partnerships; and major campaigns to power revenue, increase access to wealthy donors, and raise their community profile - Proactively encourage planned giving - Avoid revenue plateausTo survive and ultimately thrive, a nonprofit needs forceful revenue strategies and an organizational culture that champions them. Complete with stories of those who have done this exceptionally well, as well as "casebooks" of the strategies-in-action, this invaluable resource for philanthropists of all kinds reveals how any nonprofit can implement advanced fundraising methods and secure the funds they need to excel. |
Contributor Bio(s): Pagnoni, Laurence: - LAURENCE A. PAGNONI has spent 25 years in the nonprofit sector as a fundraising consultant and the executive director of three nonprofit organizations. He is chairman of LAPA Fundraising and the author of INFO, a popular blog about cutting-edge nonprofit fundraising.Solomon, Michael: - For two decades, Michael Solomon and Rishon Blumberg have been revolutionizing the field of talent management, first guiding the careers of rock stars, then bringing their unique managerial acumen to tech talent and entrepreneurs. Native New Yorkers and close childhood friends who got their entrepreneurial start in the '80s throwing parties and selling t-shirts, Michael and Rishon founded Brick Wall Management in 1995, eventually representing musicians like John Mayer, Citizen Cope, Vanessa Carlton and others. Brick Wall artists have been nominated for, and won, multiple Grammy Awards and nominations with more than 12 million albums sold. Brick Wall has also grown into a successful consulting business that advises clients in many aspects of the arts--from Emmy award-winning songwriters, to producers, directors, and other entertainment related companies. As the inevitability of the decline of the record industry became apparent, Rishon and Michael set their sights on the tech world. With the creation of 10x Management in 2011, they changed the way top-level programmers could find work in the fast-moving tech landscape. By bringing the business model of sports and entertainment representation to the tech world, 10x has become an invaluable resource for companies seeking coveted tech experts: Yelp, BirchBox, Verizon, HSBC, Google, Facebook, MIT, BMW, and Vice, to name a few. 10x has been featured in dozens of news outlets (e.g. The New York Times, Harvard Business Review, Wall Street Journal, Forbes, CNN, Bloomberg, BusinessWeek, Fast Company, MSNBC, ABC, Nightline, The Today Show, Wired, TechCrunch, Mashable, Huffington Post, The Guardian, The Economist and Inc.) including a seven-page feature in The New Yorker. |
