Fundraising, Part 2: Investment in capacity pays off � Philanthropy North Carolina: Note: This article, the second of three, is from a report written for Blackbaud, which asked me to look at fundraising strategies that nonprofits have found to be effective.]

Since the bottom fell out of the economy nearly five years ago, San Francisco-based Dignity Health has invested in building the capacity of its fundraising operation, an investment that has begun to help fuel growth in major gifts and planned gifts.

Operating over 40 nonprofit hospitals and care centers throughout California, Arizona and Nevada, Dignity Health raises roughly $100 million a year in private philanthropy and government grants through 33 separate foundations that support the hospitals.
