If your nonprofit organization happens to be in Ohio, a Nov. 17, 2008 article in The Cleveland Plain Dealer states that the economic downturn "could mean fewer grants for Ohio's nonprofit groups in 2009." Here is a news flash, nonprofits always need money. Whether they receive a grant or not, charities always need more money. The question should be, how will they get more?
Foundations will continue to grant money because they must. Foundations exist for this exact reason. There are thousands of opportunities for nonprofit organizations to receive grants and mandated money. If an organization is aggressive enough, they will be awarded. It is the same principle in auctions.
The best survive because they adapt. The ones who worry do so because they go to the same well time after time until its dry. Business succeeds on the strength of ideas and relationships. Unless you go beyond what you have already mastered, one will never grow. What we seek we shall find and what we flee from, flees with us. It is time to seek that new money opportunity. Time to spread the word about your tremendous organization, its factor on the community or its spectacular auction event that is a must to attend! Be the organization that raises more money with the assistance of a certified benefit auctioneer specialist.
Fear defeats more people than any other one thing in the world.- Ralph Waldo Emerson. Don't let fear sink your fundraising efforts when lifeboats like auctions are available.
