Description

Do your appeals tap into the traditional reasons for giving among African-Americans? Do you know which appeals are most likely to strike a chord among black alumni?

Fund Raising from Black-College Alumni covers these critical topics—and many more.

This book offers insight and advice for fundraisers at any institution. Based on an in-depth survey of black-college fundraisers, alumni staff and alumni themselves, this book will help you:

  • Discover why continual communication is key, particularly in the African-American community;
  • Learn five strategies for cultivating the spirit of giving on your campus;
  • Find out why crafting specific appeals can improve your response;
  • Incorporate the nine tactics that can help you make the most of a small staff; and
  • Understand the circle of African-American giving and how it may affect your giving programs.
