==WUaS Idea- and Academic Resources==
 
 
===Ideas===
 
- work with individual donors
- analyze the donor base
- plan special events
- solicit grants from foundations and corporations
- get media coverage
- use the Web to further fundraising goals
- start a side business to raise funds
 
(from Amazon.com's page for Ilona Bray's "Effective Fundraising for Nonprofits: Real-World Strategies That Work")
 
 
1) Fundraising at its best is grounded in nurturing and building a 3-way partnership between: a) the Donor; b) the Non-Profit Organization or School; c) The Non-Profit's Mission and Purpose.
Line 71 ⟶ 80:
2) Our most successful non-profits and schools "work from their core strengths" - a concept that "permeates the organizational culture" and is reflected in how we approach our work and mission.
 
3) Virtually all successful fundraising programs recognize that a relatively small percenpercent tofof donors will account for a high percent of dollars raised.
 
4) Fundraising is a process designed to nurture and support an organization's mission and work. It is not about meeting goals and "raising money".
Line 79 ⟶ 88:
6) The most successful fundraising programs are based on an "Inverted Pyramid Model" that guides: a) the focus of development activity; and b) the allocation of time and resources.
 
7) The most successful fundraising programs are ground in the concept of a growing and sustainable partnership between the organization and donor.
 
8) Successful fundraising programs are, with few exceptions, grounded in a comprehensive development model with a carefully targeted set of program areas designed to meet both short and long-term organizational needs.
 
9) The most successful fundraisers share one common trait. They possess a "unique gift" for uncovering and connecting with a donor's transformational story.
 
(from 'Nine Guiding Principles for Fundraising' by Henry B. Freeman)
