Page 34 RAIN Spring 1985 _________TOOLS FOR ORGANIZATIONS_________ ACCESS: Organizational Development “Raising Money from Churches,” by Gary Delgado, Grassroots Fundraising Journal, February 1986, $3.50/issue, $20/year from; Grassroots Fundraising Journal PO Box 14754 San Francisco, CA 94114 With shrinking government resources and intense competition for foundation dollars, many nonprofits are looking around for new sources of support. In this article Gary Delgado, director of the Center for Third World Organizing, provides a basic introduction to securing support from local churches and national church organizations. He is particularly effective in spelling out what you need to know and do at each stage in the process. The article also provides access information on related publications and some national church funding resources. This seven-page article is the best guide I have seen for community groups exploring church support for the first time.—SS “Directory of Useful Organizations,” by Elizabeth Moss, Conserve Neighborhoods, January 1986, $15/year from: Conserve Neighborhoods Preservation Press National Trust for Historic Preservation 1785 Massachusetts Avenue, NW Washington, DC 20036 If you are involved in a local community group and want to know how organizations at a national level might be of help to you, this compact directory is a good starting point. The directory provides information on 42 national nonprofits that offer assistance to local community groups. Organizations are listed by the following categories of expertise: citizen involvement, technical assistance, neighborhood alliances, housing and community development, cooperatives, economic development, energy, land use, preservation, and the arts. Each listing includes: basic access information (including phone numbers), key services, membership fees and benefits, and publications. This issue alone is worth the price of a one-year subscription (10 issues) to Conserve Neighborhoods] —SS The Nonprofit World Report, bimonthly, $59/year from: The Society For Nonprofit Organizations 6314 Odana Road, Suite 1 Madison, WI 53719 For some time now I have been reading The Nonprofit World Report and frankly I'm impressed. Published by The Society For Nonprofit Organizations, it consistently gives the best broad coverage available of issues of concern to nonprofits. As editor Jill Muehrcke wrote to us at RAIN, the magazine “emphasizes practical, concise, ‘how-to’ eontent and speaks to the important issues facing nonprofit organizations and their leaders, regardless of service area.” Ihiis philosophy was illustrated in a recent issue which included such articles as: “Nonprofits in Competition with Private Enterprise: Where Is It Leading?” and “Six Steps to More Effective Annual Reports.” In addition to articles, the magazine has regular departments that focus on legislation and administrative rulings, the nonprofit as entrepreneur, technology, fund raising, and book reviews. For some this outstanding publieation will have one drawback—^price! People who subscribe right away may be able to take advantage of a special price reduction from $59 to $39 a year. Even at the regular price the value of the information provided makes this magazine a bargain. —SS CRITERIA VOLUNTARY SECTARIAN QUASIPUBUC PRIVATE PARACORPORATE OrigiiM Civil Endeavor Religious Mission Statutory Mandate Individual Enterprise Civic Endeavor PurpoM Community Service Community Ministry Policy Implementation Private Ends Community Service Detcrmiiiatimi Internal/ Volunteer Board External/ Parent Body External/ Government Internal/ Proprietor Internal/ Board and Executive Suff Oominant Elite Board Parent Body Official Overseers Executive Personnel Executive Personnel Board Empowerment Membership Parent Body Government Proprietor Membership Board Appointment/ Cimpoaition Volunteers Elected by Members Staff and Others Named by Parent Body Volunteers Elected by Members Staff and Others Named by Proprietor Volunteers and Staff Elected by Members or Stipulated in Bylaws Start-Up Funding Voluntary Contributions Voluntary Contributions and Parent Body Subsidy Public Funds Private Capital Voluntary Contributions Operating Revenue!
