Capital Campaigns Succeeding Despite Recession

By Gary D. Morton

The Recession of 2008 and 2009 came at the worst time for Meridian Health. The company that operates six hospitals in New Jersey had capital campaigns under way or in the works at four of its hospitals.

Management...
7 steps to setting bold goals

It's all about the mission, and the mission statement is important in articulating that goal. But a nonprofit must go beyond just the mission statement.

Cass Wheeler, former CEO of the American Heart Association, urges organizations to set their sights on the “bold goal,” one that energizes the mission statement and takes it to another level, one that offers something that can't just be taken for granted.

Technology...
10 crucial database decisions

Information is information, but as methods for gathering and utilizing information change, the type of information a nonprofit is more important if it is useful and accessible.

Speaking during an Association of Fundraising Professionals international conference, consultant Cynthia Peak Hoffmann discussed databases and the types that are helpful to nonprofits. She said that there are certain criteria that should be used by organizations when deciding on how to use or purchase a database.
