Charity Navigator - 2006 Metro Market Study: "harity Navigator recently completed our fourth annual national study to determine and analyze any statistical differences that may exist in the financial practices of charities located in different metropolitan markets across America.
Methodology
We began by segmenting the charities in our database into the major metropolitan markets. This year we expanded the scope of the study by adding five markets for a total of 30. The new markets are: Charlotte, NC, Portland, OR, Kansas City, KS & MO, Nashville, TN and Orlando, FL.
* The 30 metro markets account for 55% of the 5,000 charities evaluated by Charity Navigator.
* These charities generate 65% of the total revenue and total expenses.
* The largest market included 535 charities and the smallest comprised 30."

NP Times / Special Report: 2006 Salary Survey: "The donor. It is not easy to determine when and how that “donor,” that enigma, evolves. There are people who have spent a lifetime trying to solve the riddle that opens the door to a donor’s heart and wallet.
Donor motivations are a moving target. There are 1.9 million nonprofits in the naked city. If you don’t catch the donor’s fancy and keep it, someone else will do it.
The changing nature of donors was the topic for this edition of Executive Session, held in Atlanta during the annual conference of the Association of Fundraising Professionals. "

"A fund-raising dinner - like the chicken barbecue held last Saturday at the fire station - could bring in roughly $7,000. But the fire company - with an annual budget of about $120,000- would have to hold more than 100 such dinners to collect enough money for the planned expansion.
'Financially, we didn't think it was doable without something special,' said fire chief Jim Martin. 'We were ready to drop the project.'
However, a creative solution came from a local builder, George Desmond, who donated a parcel of land to the fire company through the Desmond Family Foundation.
'That was a welcome surprise. It was totally unexpected,' Martin said.
Desmond and other business leaders encouraged fire officials to build a house on the property, then sell it to raise money for the fire station project.
The donated land, located on Enterprise Drive near the fire station, is valued at roughly $80,000."

Nonetheless, with her 25th reunion — an occasion that can net Harvard tens of millions from the celebrating class — in the offing, Tavrow saw an opportunity too good to pass up.

Supporters of major colleges and universities are commonly barred from knowing how their donations are invested, according to a survey released Tuesday.
Only senior administrators and trustees know where endowment dollars go at 66% of the 216 schools that responded to a survey by the Sustainable Endowments Institute, a research and consulting project of Rockefeller Philanthropy Advisors, a consulting firm for benefactors.
Every school in the survey has an endowment of at least $100 million. The median endowment for U.S. and Canadian colleges in 2005 was $71.66 million, says the National Association of College and University Business Officers.
Results of this first-time collegiate investing survey are striking a chord on campuses where students want to see investment policies reflect their schools' moral values."
