Fundraising

Fundraising has been a concern not only since the tsunami and the negative headlines surrounding major well-known donation organizations in the nonprofit sector. Every nonprofit organization fights daily for survival amidst rising costs and responsibilities, along with decreasing contributions. In this context, traditional social work is no different from work in healthcare, local food banks for the needy, services for people with disabilities, seniors, children, or regional associations for biodiversity, human rights, and so on. In times of reduced public funding, budget consolidations, and an ever-increasing price spiral, monetary, material, and time donations are becoming increasingly important for realizing or continuing essential projects. This book scientifically and practically explores the options and possibilities within the nonprofit sector, as well as the philanthropic and legal influences that may exist.
