While much is known about who votes in American elections, much less is known about who donates. In this book, the authors utilize a unique and historically unprecedented data set of donors from the 2008 and 2012 presidential elections to answer longstanding questions: what is the relationship between donors and candidates? How do candidates attract and respond to contributors? How do campaign strategies reflect changing campaign finance laws and the development of the internet? With unprecedented cooperation from the Obama, McCain, and Romney campaigns, the authors investigate presidential campaign donors at all giving levels to produce the most systematic and complete analysis of donors to presidential nominees to date. As elections are decided increasingly by donors' dollars, Who Donates to Campaigns? provides relevant research on the broader trends in partisan polarization and, more generally, on how campaigns can engage more citizens in political participation.

The Time for Endowment Building is Now: Why and How to Secure Your Organization’s Future describes endowment contributions both through outright and deferred gift giving. It puts the concept of endowment development front and center and explains the steps and mindset that are necessary to create the capacity to build and increase the endowment of an organization. The role and responsibility of the executive and the board in encouraging endowment development are described, and a chapter is devoted to the identification of endowment prospects not through wealth analysis or “major gift giving” but by donative history. A highlight of the book is a case study of the Harold Grinspoon Foundation’s LIFE & LEGACY Program that provides training and mentoring as well as incentives to local community-based organizations to encourage the building of endowment funds. The book will be particularly appealing to boards and staff members of those not-for-profit organizations contemplating whether to launch an endowment program or are in the beginning stages of doing so. This book will be valuable to veterans in the field considering their policies in relation to the use of endowment contributions as well as the marketing of them to prospects and donors. It will also be of interest to those teaching fundraising courses in not-for-profit management programs.

Charities play an increasingly important role in our society. Whether caring for the vulnerable, campaigning for change or enabling access to the arts, they are organisations on a mission, underpinned by social purpose. However, charities now face unique challenges in a turbulent global economic climate due to structural changes in society post Covid and pressure on disposable incomes. Charities need to transform and, in some cases, modernise for sustained increasing demand from their service users. They need to engage with a wider range of stakeholders, meet higher public expectations on transparency and governance and compete for resources from existing as well as a continuous range of new competitors. This book brings together leading scholars to think about what is needed to future proof the nonprofit sector in areas such as partnerships, collaborations, branding, communications, income generation and fundraising, stakeholder involvement and meeting the future needs of service users. This edited collection builds upon the research in the editors' first book Charity Marketing: Contemporary Issues, Research and Practice to challenge students, researchers and practitioners in understanding the challenges and opportunities ahead and think about how to future proof nonprofit marketing. Drawing from a diverse group of academics and deep-thinking practitioners, The Future of Charity Marketing focuses on how charities can prepare for the future through sharing big ideas and examples of best practice. Presenting contrasting perspectives and the latest thinking on a range of challenges, this book gives topics for classroom debate, identifies areas for future research and offers practitioners useful insights.

What do faculty members, academic administrators, or development officers need to know if they want to be successful fundraisers in higher education? Colleges and universities are such complex institutions that it is difficult for those who work in development to understand how the academic side of the institution operates and difficult for college professors and administrators to understand the technicalities and legal requirements that affect the development side of the institution. Going for the Gold demystifies these worlds for anyone interested in higher education fundraising and provides practical, field-tested tools that everyone involved in academic development will want in his or her toolkit.

Charities operate within an increasingly challenging environment, with competition for public engagement, funding and volunteers intensifying. High-profile scandals have knocked public trust and the recent Covid-19 pandemic has illustrated how important it is for charities to provide support in times of need and fill the gap left by inadequate public sector provision. Across 12 chapters a diverse group of academics and deep-thinking practitioners present contrasting perspectives and the latest thinking on the challenges within the charity sector. The approach of the book contributes to the growing phenomenon of Theory + Practice in Marketing (TPM) presenting different perspectives and theoretical lenses to stimulate debate and future research. Charity Marketing provides a bridge between the practice of contemporary nonprofit organisations, charity marketing and recent academic insight into the charity sector. Using exemplar case studies of nonprofit and charity brands, this edited volume will be of direct interest to students, academics, marketing practitioners and researchers studying and working in charities, public and nonprofit management, and marketing.
