TRANSFORMING BOARD STRUCTURE: STRATEGIES FOR COMMITTEES AND TASK FORCES. Marla J. Bobowick, Sandra R. Hughes, and Berit M. Lakey. National Center for Nonprofit Boards, 2001. 40pp. Funding Center (1 East) HD62.6 .B64 2001; cd available in Software Collection
Committees provide an opportunity for board members to use their expertise and work together on specific projects while allowing the board to keep its attention on the big picture. However, it is easy for committee structure to become too complicated. Boards with too many standing committees end up spreading their resources too thin. Boards that repeat the work of committees during regular meetings are complicating rather than simplifying procedures.
In Transforming Board Structure, NCNB's top governance consultants provide a fresh look at committees and illustrate how boards can use work groups to streamline the work of the full board. Discover the importance of reducing the number of standing committees and relying more on ad hoc groups and task forces to accomplish tasks on an as-needed basis.
The booklet covers: (1) Who should be on committees and task forces. (2) Job descriptions and characteristics of standing committees and task forces. (3) Recruiting outside the organization for some committee members. (4) Determining the appropriate sub-structure for your board. (5) Ensuring your committees are working as effectively as possible.
Also included is a diskette with job descriptions and sample committee tools.

UNDERSTANDING AND IMPROVING THE LANGUAGE OF FUNDRAISING. Timothy L. Seiler, editor. San Francisco, CA : Jossey-Bass Publishers, c1998. 122PP. Main Library Stacks HV41.9.U6 U53 1998
New directions for philanthropic fundraising ; no. 22.
The language of fundraising is laden with combative and unsavory terms-suspects, prospects, acquisition, campaign, target. This volume of New Directions for Philanthropic Fundraising challenges fundraisers to be more aware of language and its effect both on the users and the audience. Fundraisers and linguists offer practical analyses of how language is used in fundraising appeals. Chapters provide case studies of writing grant proposals, illuminating how writers shape their language to fit their audience; content analyses of fundraising letters, considering what persuades donors to give; and guidelines for developing successful visual rhetoric for both print and on-line formats.

UNDERSTANDING DONOR DYNAMICS : THE ORGANIZATIONAL SIDE OF CHARITABLE GIVING. Eugene R. Tempel, editor. San Francisco : Jossey-Bass Publishers, c2002. 147PP. Main Library Stacks HV41.9.U5 U53 2002
New directions for philanthropic fundraising ; no. 32.
This issue explores the approaches of organizations and outlines the approaches that donors take today and how organizations can respond to them. The authors document the ways in which philanthropy has been changing, how donors want to be treated, and the dynamics that have fueled the growth of philanthropy in this century. They reflect the shift to supply-side focus and indicate that focusing on the donor and relying more on discernment of donor interests, values, and satisfaction and less on scolding, demanding, and challenging, will create a larger and more thoughtful philanthropic response. This issue serves as a complement to Taking Fund Raising Seriously: Donor Dynamics Beyond the Comfort Zone, New Directions for Philanthropic Fundraising #29

USING CLASS AGENTS IN FUND RAISING. Paula J. Faust, ed. Washington, D.C. : Council for Advancement and Support of Education, 1985. 26pp. Main Library Stacks LC243 .A1 U7 1985
Fund raising strategies that take advantage of the ties alumni have with their graduating class are discussed in five articles. Topics include: organizing classes to promote fund raising, training volunteer alumni, stimulating class fund raising through competition and incentives, allocating staff time and resources, and using special reunion years to best advantage. Also considered are the role of class agents, the use of a class fund raising manual, senior class reunion gift programs, and financial concerns. According to Paula J. Faust in "Fund Raising through Class Association," class association means alumni are grouped according to the year in which they graduated. In "Class Fund Raising: The College Perspective," Janet G. Strahler suggests that peer pressure and direct classmate contact increase dollar totals and reliably increase fund-raising participation. Sherwood C. Haskins, Jr., in "Using Class Agents," suggests that it pays off to carefully select class agents, who write letters, collect information, and attend phonathons and school activities. In "The Capital Reunion Fund," Russell F. Carpenter proposes using two major reunions to conduct capital campaigns. Finally, Robert J. Kallin, in "Senior Class Reunion Gift Programs," discusses educating future alumni about alumni support.

In easy-to-understand terms, Mim Carlson leads you through creating a proposal--from start to finish--that fulfills the three most important criteria grantmakers demand from a competitive proposal: a clearly stated purpose describing what your organization is trying to achieve, compelling evidence that demonstrates the importance of this goal, and a well-reasoned plan that outlines how your organization will meet the goal in a cost-effective manner. And, once the workbook exercises are completed, your organization will have a fully developed grant proposal.
Contents: Developing the proposal idea -- Developing relationships with funders -- Writing a compelling need statement -- Defining clear goals and objectives -- Developing your methods -- Preparing the evaluation component -- Developing sustainability strategies -- Preparing the program budget -- Writing the organization background component -- Writing the proposal summary -- Putting the package together -- Sustaining relationships with funders.

WINNING RESEARCH FUNDING. Abby Day Peters. Aldershot: Gower, 2003. 215pp. Main Library Stacks HG177 .P474 2003
The most influential people in the world depend on researchers, and many researchers depend on funding. Here, Abby Day Lewis has talked to people who are successful at obtaining research funding as well as the people who funded them. She examines the reasons for looking for funding, the value of research, and research partnerships. These team partnerships bring their own challenges, as the author explains. Amongst other topics, she discusses how to assess partner needs; how proposals are assessed and chosen; and how to manage, monitor and evaluate a research partnership.

WISE DECISION-MAKING IN UNCERTAIN TIMES : USING NONPROFIT RESOURCES EFFECTIVELY. Dennis R. Young. New York, NY : Foundation Center, 2006. Main Library Stacks HD62.6 .W57 2006
Sixteen academic figures and charity leaders contribute essays focused on the idea that nonprofit groups always need to be prepared to deal with rapid transitions in the conditions around them. The book examines four basic topics: how charities decide to run their operations; strengthening a charity's management; grant makers' decision-making; and the relationship between nonprofit groups and businesses. Organizations that fear risk avoid making important decisions and confronting challenges — such as starting a capital campaign and asking potential donors for support — because they fear they will fail, even if that is not likely. The writers describe techniques and tools to keep decision-makers realistic about potential risks. Other chapters explore fiscal stress, political mobilization, volunteering, and more issues related to change.

WOMEN AS FUNDRAISERS. Julie C. Conry. Jossey-Bass Publishers, 1998. 139pp. Main Library Stacks HG177 .W65 1998
New Directions for Philanthropic Fundraising #19
Within the last decade, one of the most striking changes in fundraising has been the composition of the workforce itself-the dramatic increase in the numbers of women pursuing fundraising careers. This issue of New Directions for Philanthropic Fundraising addresses the opportunities and challenges created by these marked shifts in the gender make-up and workplace culture of fundraising. Using personal histories, demographic trends, statistical data, and life and work experiences, the authors highlight the significant ways the nonprofit sector is being shaped by women's leadership in fundraising and greater participation in the professional ranks. They outline a number of professional development strategies for women in fundraising; examine the current status of women in fundraising as measured by compensation rates and organizational position; and analyze the impact of women's changing socioeconomic role on the organizational structures and policies of traditional fundraising institutions, such as religious organizations and the YWCA.

WRITING SUCCESSFUL SCIENCE PROPOSALS. Andrew J. Frieland and Carol L. Folt. New Haven, Ct. : Yale University Press, 2000. 171pp. Main Library Stacks Q180.55.P7 F75 2000
This book will be of value both to scientists and to undergraduate and graduate students who want to write successful grant or research proposals. For scientists, today's environment of limited funding from Congress and private foundations means that grant proposals must be effective, competitive, and readable. The book is designed to provide a guide to writing proposals and improving their overall quality. For graduate students in the natural sciences, courses on proposal development and writing are increasingly part of the curriculum--this book is, in fact, derived from a course taught by the authors at Dartmouth. Increasingly, research design is a part of the curriculum for undergraduates in science. This book will provide guidance during the conceptualization and formulation of a research plan as well as give specific information for effectively organizing and presenting material in a format widely used for proposal submissions.

WRITING THE NIH GRANT PROPOSAL : A STEP-BY-STEP GUIDE. William Gerlin. Sage, 2006. 396pp. MSU Biomed and Physical Sciences Library RA11.D6 G47 2006
This primer on the writing of the NIH proposal and the mechanics of applying for NIH grants offers hands-on advice that simplifies, demystifies, and takes the fear out of writing a federal grant application. The graduate student, post-doctoral fellow, or junior research faculty member applying for a prestigious NIH grant - anything from a training grant to a full-blown research award - faces many complex issues. Although several grant writing guides already exist, they are overly general and do not focus on the NIH process. Also, although several NIH institutes provide information regarding grant submissions, this information tends to be voluminous and insufficient to guide one through the process. This book provides specific and detailed step-by-step guidance in completing an NIH application through a number of unique features. Contains actual forms from NIH grant applications - including the brand new SF 424 forms - which have been annotated so as to guide readers step-by-step, highlighting unexpected nuances that can make all the difference between winning – and losing – a grant. This unique book extensively covers SBIR and STTR grants as well.

200 TERRIFIC WEB SITES FOR NONPROFIT ORGANIZATIONS. Brownie S. Hamilton. Virginia Beach, Va. : The Grantsmanship Service, 1998. 57pp. Reference (1 East) Funding Center HG177 .T86 1998
Employees at the Grantsmanship Service list corporations, government agencies and units, and private foundations that have a presence on the World-Wide Web. Each entry reproduces the site's "welcome" page, gives its Web address, and contains a brief paragraph that explains the organization's mission and what kinds of grant-related information the site provides to its visitors -- such as giving priorities and limitations, application guidelines, and lists of recent grant recipients. Other sections showcase the sites of publications geared to non-profit groups and fund raisers; sites to help to identify potential sources of grants; and the sites of organizations devoted to philanthropy, such as the Foundation Center and GuideStar. The book also includes sites deemed to be of related interest to grant seekers, such as one designed to sharpen writing skills. Sites that provide services that highlight grant opportunities for their patrons also warrant attention from the compilers: the FEDIX Opportunity Alert, for example, sends subscribers e-mail updates on announcements of grants available for science and technology programs. The guide also includes information tailored to those people who are getting their first glimpse of cyberspace. Sections provide Internet-search tips, e-mail addresses where one may join "listservs" related to fund raising and non-profit management, and summaries of 10 "search engines" that comb the Internet for information.
