Hyphenated words get new look

"We run a lot of stories about people and organizations raising money for charitable causes. The AP style used to be: ''fund raising'' (two words as a noun), ''fund-raising'' (hyphenated in other uses) and ''fund-raiser'' (hyphenated for a person or an event). I don't know why.
The new style is one word for all of them: ''fundraising'' in all uses and ''fundraiser.'' Not only is this simpler to remember, it's also consistent with the national Association of Fundraising Professionals. It used to look silly to have it one way for the name of that group and another way for its activities."

Organization seeking to boost philanthropy

In the Romero household, extra money earned picking onions and berries was sent to family in Mexico or dropped into a church's donation basket.
Any extra time the immigrant family had between jobs was spent mowing lawns for elderly neighbors in Tolleson and taking them to shop for groceries. The family didn't consider the good deeds as charity, just something they did.

Editor's Note: This article contains information that has been revised from the print version of The Chronicle's August 4 issue. After The Chronicle went to press, it learned that General Motors had provided incorrect information about its giving figures. Those numbers have now been corrected in the online database that accompanies this article.
After two years of steady declines due to a stagnant economy and volatile stock market, the nation's
largest companies increased their charitable contributions last year, according to a Chronicle survey. Most companies in the survey expect their giving either to grow or hold steady this year -- as long as economic gains continue."

Nonprofit organizations, like their for-profit counterparts, are aware of the need for search engine marketing to boost their online visibility. Nonprofits, which include trade associations and nongovernmental organizations as well as educational, public interest and religious groups, have information they wish to share with the public.
But as their budgets often are quite limited, many nonprofits are choosing SEM as a major part of their overall marketing and public relations. The search campaign therefore becomes more than a technical, Web site-based exercise. Properly conducted, it can give the nonprofit client strategic feedback regarding its goals, audience and message."
