DOWNLOAD EBOOKHigher ed fundraising can't keep doubling down on ineffective practices. We can't keep hoping donors give. Instead, we need to give donors hope. We need to adapt to new philanthropic realities in higher education, both to avoid wasteful, depletive fundraising and to optimize our institutions ability to produce more significant, sustainable fundraising results. This will require rethinking how we organize ourselves at every level, including the board, executive team, and advancement operation. In the largest sense, what we must be most attentive to going forward is what we've been inattentive to in the past: the growing gap between what institutions wanted and hoped for from their donors and what donors wanted and hoped for from schools, colleges and universities. In The Future of Fundraising, James M. Langley describes the changing philanthropic behaviors and expectations of our donors, then details the strategies and tactics that will allow fundraising operations and institutions to detect and catch the prevailing winds in their sails and thereby expedite the advancement of their missions and sustain donor trust. Langley contrasts old, increasingly ineffective approaches with current and emerging best practice, unpacking in practical detail how we must organize ourselves and how we must create new models of collaboration to establish a more adaptive craft. From the author of Fundraising for Presidents and Fundraising for Deans, this new book that will challenge, inspire, and empower you to create the conditions at your college or university for more sustainable philanthropic growth.

The late twentieth century saw charities grow from timid service deliverers into major providers with campaigning teeth. What caused this? How did they gain confidence and strength? In this fascinating history, examined through the eyes of RNIB from 1970 to 2010, Ian Bruce examines the internal drivers and the external socio-political environment that allowed and encouraged this explosion. Bruce's experience of leading a charity at the forefront of this change, and his participation in the wider charity sector for fifty years as both activist and academic, gives him an unsurpassed understanding of what happened and why. His first-hand knowledge will speak to charity workers as well as academics, covering themes such as the rise of beneficiary power against patronising providers; the change from welfare to rights; the shift from the medical to the social model of disability; and the adoption of social welfare and business professionalisms such as Strategic Planning and Charity Marketing. Today's charities have much to learn from the successes and mistakes of this dynamic period."

DOWNLOAD EBOOKLet's face it, seminary failed to prepare you for church growth, strategic planning, land acquisition, facility development and high growth staffing. Yet, at some point, every church faces these challenges. What if there was a way that you could learn from someone else's experience? And what if that person, rather than simply pointing you in the right direction, was willing to journey along with you, as a coach, a friend and an advisor? And what if that person had a proven track record and has worked with many of the fastest growing churches in America? In Fueling Vision: A Common Pastor's Guide to Uncommon Success, Oaster gives church leaders a step-by-step guide to navigate the world of strategic planning, church growth and facility development. Oaster will equip you with the knowledge and direction needed to plan out your ministry objectives, avoid being taken to the cleaners by staff, realtors, architects and builders, and rapidly move your ministry towards the complete realization of it's potential. For over thirty years, Bradley Oaster has worked with Christian churches throughout the country to guide and direct church leaders toward the fulfillment of their ministry's potential. Brad's depth of experience and success is unmatched. Among the 100 fastest growing churches in America today, three of the top ten churches partnered with Oaster in the early formation of their ministries. In 2000, Scott Wilson and his dad, Tom Wilson engaged Brad Oaster to develop a long-range plan for what would later become, The Oaks Fellowship. "I remember sitting in my office in 2000 wishing there was someone I could call that could help me know what I should do. I would have done anything to find someone who had walked this path before – a person who could act as a coach, a friend, and an advisor. Our church has seen incredible growth and breakthrough since we met Brad - from one location to two locations, six major building programs, from two to eight services each Sunday, from 0 small groups to over 100 small groups, from 650 people to 2,400 people in weekly attendance."

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe why—and how—of faith-based fundraising and stewardship. For years, many faith-based fundraisers and communities have been inspired by Henri J. M. Nouwen's book A Spirituality of Fundraising and his approach to fundraising as a calling and ministry. Many who are inspired by Nouwen's vision remain hesitant to ask for money, saying, "I don't have the personality to raise money" or "Asking for money still feels too complicated and makes me fearful." Nathan Ball, a close colleague and friend of Nouwen, tackles these trepidations head-on with his workbook, providing a 4-week how-to guide for putting Nouwen's culture-shifting vision into practice. Nouwen and Ball lift up fundraising as a powerful way of loving and building community. They provide gentle guidance that will help people from all walks of life reimagine the task of fundraising and access the inner conviction and external skills to engage in the task of fundraising. In this workbook, readers will find the complete original text of A Spirituality of Fundraising plus extensive commentary on its themes. There are many questions for reflection and journaling, prompts for listening and meditation, and instructions for using the book as an individual or with a group.
