Do We Need So Many Non-Profit Organizations?
On the one hand, this is a great development – it means that as a society we are becoming more aware of a need to give to others and are even taking the necessary steps to ensure that we help others.
On the other hand, though, the presence of so many non-profits creates a unique problem – “giver burnout.”
Giver burnout happens when individuals get so many appeals for help – from large cancer societies, small women’s shelters, literacy organizations, and every possible non-profit group in-between that they feel overwhelmed and are less apt to contribute anything to anyone. Even those individuals who do want to contribute have had to cut back on who they contribute to – there are simply too many groups requesting money and only so much disposable income any one person has.
Do you Need to Keep Creating Unique Fundraising Ideas?
In 2007, the National Association of Elementary School Principals found that 94 percent of school administrators rely on fundraisers to supplement district, state and federal money they receive.
That number has probably increased. So the answer is yes!
You must work harder to get funding. Where in the past groups often did well just by asking for money or organizing one big event to fundraise each year, now fundraising is big business.
Allison Jewell, vice president of American Heart Association – Miami/Fort Lauderdale Area, took time out of her busy schedule to discuss her gala fundraising ideas for non profits.
