ON THE SHELVES

Financing Nonprofits: Putting Theory into Practice by Dennis Young
Financing Nonprofits draws upon a growing body of scholarship on the economics and organizational theory of nonprofit organizations to offer a set of practically applicable principles that can guide nonprofits towards firmer financial ground.

Yours, Mine, and Ours: Creating a Compelling Donor Experience by Barry McLeish
Nonprofit marketing consultant McLeish describes how to custom tailor donorship opportunities to meet the needs of the organization and the philanthropist and explains the new boundaries of fundraising, the need for a new mindset on the part of all participants, the new tools for getting what you need to meet your mission statement, the importance of running a nonprofit like a well-managed business, and the need for a cultural approach to donorship.

Nonprofit Networking

From Library Staff - May 12, 2008

Networking with other non-profit agencies can be beneficial to your operation. Participating in local events and groups can help you reach your goals together – there is power in numbers.

Nonprofit listserv: To inquire about joining the list, send an email to nonprof@mail.sgcl.org. The purpose of this list is to share information and experiences with other local nonprofit agencies.

Meetings: Join local and/or national organizations that have regular meetings and seminars, for example the Springfield Area Chamber of Commerce (http://www.springfieldchamber.com), the Association of Fundraising Professionals (http://www.afpozarks.org), the Alliance for Nonprofit Management (http://www.allianceonline.org), or the Community Partnership of the Ozarks (http://www.commpartnership.org).

Look through The Directory (available at any Springfield-Greene County Library branch, or online at http://thelibrary.springfield.missouri.org/directory/directory.cfm), and locate other nonprofit groups with similar interests, and contact them to discuss and exchange ideas.
