Today, the Cleveland Plain Dealer reported that "more than 90 percent of Ohio's foundations report their assets have declined, and 60 percent of them expect to give less money in 2009 than in 2008." If Ohio foundations are cutting back, its time to view the much bigger picture. Considering that $15.8 billion was donated to US charities in 2008, how will your organization get more?
Foundations have been a tremendous source for organizations in need. They will always be a great source for donations. But when they are giving out less, how will the organization make up the difference? My business on the concept of finding new money. Organizations who understand making more work with Auction brio. How will your organization or event find more funds?
Slate.com list says that $8 billion more dollars were donated in 2008 than 2007. The analogy goes like this. When you go to the same well day after day it will go dry. If you did not dig another well in case of a drought, there is trouble. If you haven;t started digging the new well, start right now. There is prosperity but only for those who seek it.
If raising more funds is your goal, then raise the bar for opportunity. Contact Cleveland's premiere benefit auctioneer and let Auction brio educate your committee to make more money!
