Creative, effective and ethical fundraising promotes philanthropy - Rockford, IL - Rockford Register Star: "On Nov. 6, Chuck Sweeny wrote in his column, “Nonprofits need to get creative in quest for funds.” As president of the Rockford Area Chapter of the Association of Fundraising Professionals, I would like to add a few comments to the conversation that in my opinion was begun with a sarcastic and cynical tone. I would have preferred a more positive, encouraging and affirming perspective that helps all of us — donors, nondonors and professionals — to grow in the virtue of philanthropy. Our society depends on the selfless giving of individuals and businesses for the common good."

Hattiesburg American - www.hattiesburgamerican.com - Hattiesburg, Miss.: "n the United States alone, there are more than 1 million charitable organizations with Americans giving close to $295 billion annually. In Canada, with nearly $6 billion given, there are more than 88,000 charities that provide services. Latin America and Asia are also seeing a tremendous growth in their charitable sectors as their governments are no longer able to provide enough funding for social services. Therefore, if not for charitable organizations, the quality of life for all would be greatly diminished as charities generously contribute to education, health care, arts, environmental causes and other important programs."

Business West: "Those who raise funds for a living say the competition for people’s dollars and energies is more intense than ever — but they’re not seeing an increase in the total number of donors.

When fundraisers from across the Pioneer Valley come together for National Philanthropy Day this month, they will be doing much more than honoring devoted volunteers. They’ll also be cultivating new ones."
