Keeping the Lights On: Fundraising for Family Support Programs.
Family Resource Coalition, Chicago, IL.; National Resource Center for Family Support Programs, Chicago, IL.
This monograph is designed for family support professionals who struggle with the challenges of finding the optimal mix of revenue sources with limited staff and resources. It contains nine articles that offer a variety of perspectives from people who work in the family support field either as program providers or as funders. The articles offer advice and suggestions for raising revenues and tapping into various funding sources, and offer descriptions of successful programs. The articles are: (1) "Development 101: A Few Basics" (Susan Oliver); (2) "Stone Soup: Fundraising in the Trenches" (Carolyn Micklem); (3) "Special Events Fundraising: A Common Sense Approach" (Gretchen S. Vapnar); (4) "Charging Fees for Services" (Christine Vogel); (5) "The Survival of Family Support Programs: A Funder's Perspective" (Margaret M. Petruska); (6) "Building Partnerships with Local Foundations" (Linda Lipton); (7) "The United Way of Chicago: An Invitation" (Roger Fox); (8) "Obtaining Public Funding for Programs to Strengthen Families" (Hedy Chang and Cecelia Leong); and (9) "A Halloween Fundraiser Benefits the New Orleans Parenting Center" (Peter Silvern). A resource directory identifies libraries with extensive not-for-profit development collections, suggests books and periodicals, and lists organizations that provide fundraising resources to the not-for-profit community.
