While flipping through data about civic/service clubs in Arlington and their philanthropic and related fundraising activities recently, a fascinating nugget of information emerged: Every year, the little Pantego Lions Club, 34 members strong, typically makes about $60,000 worth of grants and scholarships spread across perhaps 20 recipients.
That's a powerful investment not only in building social capital, but also as proof that that some civic groups, of which the Pantego Lions Club is clearly an example, are considerably more efficient at raising money for charitable activities than others.
This ability prompts curiosity. What fundraisers are some of the more efficient clubs using?"
