CAPITAL CAMPAIGNS: CONSTRUCTING A SUCCESSFUL FUND-RAISING DRIVE. Edwar C. Schumacher. National Center for Nonprofit Boards, 2001. Main Library Stacks HG177 .S38 2001
The support and participation of an organization's board members is critical to a capital campaign's success. In fact, if the board is uncertain about the viability of the campaign or its value to the organization, the campaign should not move forward. Producing income is not the only function of a capital campaign. It mobilizes volunteer leadership, brings a focus to fund-raising efforts, generates higher visibility in the community, and can boost the morale of everybody involved.
Capital Campaigns presents an overview of capital campaigns. It will help board members make informed decisions about fund-raising efforts and understand what will be required of them and of the organization as a whole. Written in an easy-to-understand question and answer format, the booklet takes readers through the stages of a capital campaign and provides guidelines for board member involvement.
Sample questions include:
(1) What are the phases of a capital campaign?
(2) How does a board decide if a capital campaign is needed?
(3) What will board members do during a capital campaign?
(4) How are volunteer fund-raising efforts organized?
Also included are lists of five make-or-break decisions that campaign leaders should make, what should not happen during a capital campaign, and capital campaign terms and definitions.

CHANGING BY DESIGN : A PRACTICAL APPROACH TO LEADING INNOVATION IN NONPROFIT ORGANIZATIONS. Douglas C. Eadie. San Francisco, Ca. : Jossey-Bass Publishers, 1997. 225pp. Main Library Stacks HD62.6 .E183 1997
Offers strategies for non-profit groups that want to avoid stagnation. According to the author, non-profit groups often fail because 1) they fear tampering with the status quo; 2) they chew over too many details of daily operations; and 3) they ignore the need for new approaches. Stronger leadership, sensible risk taking, and effective new policies ward off potential disaster. Practice humility and engage in frank self-assessment. Board members must allot more time to arrive at creative solutions to tricky problems and that managers of non-profit groups need to avoid quick-fix ideas. And don't forget caution. Planned change should never be allowed to threaten the integrity of ongoing programs and services or cause so much anxiety that morale or performance are damaged.

Board members have a responsibility to keep current with an organization’s financial situation, and annual financial statement audits can provide invaluable information. However, it is important to understand what to expect from your auditor and the financial audit.
A properly planned and conducted financial statement audit is a strategic tool that will help management, various constituencies, and board members objectively evaluate the organization’s financial performance. Even if last year’s audit was clean, it is important to utilize your audit to promote continued financial stability and growth. Occasionally, an auditor’s findings can be the breakthrough information nonprofit managers need to embrace a dramatically different manner of operating.
Checks and Balances, co-published with ASAE, defines ways in which a nonprofit organization can maximize the effectiveness of an audit and leverage the auditor as a partner in financial stability. Discover:
(1) Reasons for conducting an audit - beyond the typical incentives including governance rules, provisions in a loan agreement or grant, or ascertaining the value of an organization.
(2) How to choose among a variety of auditing firms - to ensure that a thorough understanding of your organization is obtained and value-added benefits are provided.
(3) Products of a financial statement audit - including the resulting opinion and management letter which empower management and the board to accurately view the strengths and weaknesses of the financial position.
(4) The importance of auditor independence - which exists at the heart of a productive auditor/management relationship.
By becoming an informed consumer of financial statement audits, your auditor can become a strategic resource that will help promote the financial success of your organization.
CHURCHES AS A COMMUNITY RESOURCE AND SOURCE OF FUNDING FOR HUMAN SERVICES. Susan Grettenberger. Washington, DC : Aspen Institute, Nonprofit Sector Research Fund, 2001. 19pp. Funding Center (1 East) HV41.9.U5 G74 2001
As devolution reduces government support of assistance services, religious congregations have been identified as potential providers. Yet few efforts have been made to understand the congregations' capacity to provide those services. This study documents the work of the United Methodist Churches of Michigan and their potential to provide more non-religious services to their communities. In what service areas are the church groups already active? Have requests for assistance increased in recent years? If so, do churches have the ability to meet the increased needs? What groups are the churches more likely and less likely to help? In what areas could the churches bolster their efforts?

CRITICAL ISSUES IN FUND RAISING. Dwight F. Burlingame, ed. New York, N.Y. : John Wiley & Sons, 1997. 266pp. Main Library Stacks HG177 .C75 1997
Fund-raising professionals must cope with a growing list of important issues, including resource management, increased regulation at all levels of government, ethical scrutiny, donor diversity, and the estabilishment of professional standards. Based on a think tank sponsored by the NSFRE in collaboration with the Counsel for the Advancement and Support of Education, the Association for Research on Nonprofit Organizations and Voluntary Action, and the Indiana University Center on Philanthropy. The participants address these issues and premises head-on, often coming up with surprising conclusions on controversial topics such as formula versus nonformula fundraising, fund-raising cost ratios as a measure of efficacy, and the perceived scarcity of minority donors. They explore fundamentals--donor motivation, demographics, innovative fund-raising strategies, and marketing versus public relations; advanced practices--cost effectiveness, regulation, law, and financial management; challenges in fundraising--ethics, diversity, and accountability; and international perspectives--fund raising in western Europe.

CULTIVATING DIVERSITY IN FUNDRAISING. Janice Gow Pettey. New York, N.Y. : John Wiley & Sons, 2002. 281pp. Main Library Stacks HG177 .P48 2002
Janice Gow Pettey offers a succinct overview of the history of the immigration and migration of four major ethnic groups (African American, Asian American, Hispanic/Latino and Native American) in the United States and reviews each group's cultural traditions of charitable giving and the adaptations they have made once exposed to traditional American charitable giving styles. Nonprofit professionals who have direct experience working with the group about which they are writing have submitted case studies in fundraising within these ethnic communities to serve as examples. Successes are included along with well-intentioned failures. Current demographic information demonstrates the impact ethnic groups have on traditional giving patterns. The author also addresses the larger influence undocumented giving by American immigrants has on their countries of origin and discusses how these gifts serve as a driver of foreign economies.
