The first-Valerio Melandri Italian blog on fundraising

My new class to the degree course in Economics of Cooperative Businesses and Nonprofit Organizations

Data: October 13, 2006


The semester has just started and the lessons of "Strategy for Fund Raising and Raising People" at the degree course in Economics of Cooperative Businesses and Nonprofit Organizations, University of Bologna, Faculty of Economics of Forlì, are started. Here is a photo of my students that I would ask to come with its own post (and if anything identifying itself: "I'm the guy with glasses in the front row ...") but also to write a sentence (a sentence or even a mention of its own) inherent fund raising, that choice (or all three):
- To be in his / her fund raising;
- Is particularly important to better understand the fund raising;
- Describe the fund raising indirectly as fully as possible.
I am very curious to know the opinion of people on the fund raising for the first time face to fundraising. Good challenge (VM)

Ps Obviously the better phrase, a point more exam! (And I keep my promises!)

    Good evening, I will recognize in the group are the Brescia in the third row of Vicenza and the nice man Abruzzo and my face is covered by the Germanic girl!
    As I say, I think fundraising for me represents the basic element for the existence of the nonprofit, donations in the sense of reciprocity and exchange of material goods are the basis for arriving at nonprofit.Mi interesting because it is practical, but practical fought .. how far to go? own values ​​and where they go .. maybe it's part of the profit nonprofit that scares me and I am fascinated.
    Good night to all

    Not bad for someone who had never heard of fund raising in his life!

    Hi all!
    I'm Sara, in the second row, second from right to left ... but also to short center.
    The choice of this degree is born from the desire and need for staff to "explore" the nonprofit world, after three years at Urbino immersed in the world purely profit. Happy to recover this during the first degree in Economics and the Business of nonprofit cooperative of Forli, I tried to invent an acrostic to summarize what is in these first three weeks of lessons I could learn about fund raising. Here it is:

    I do recognize me: I'm the first guy you see flowing from the left, in 2 ° / 3 ° line, with the clear jumper (I had asked in class if we could open a company for fund raising).

    I confess that I have heard of fund raising for the first time during his lectures, at first until I had absolutely no idea what it was, but I immediately realized that this is an area unlike any other in economics for his ideal purpose , since it appears as the last outpost of the social order to which the market would tend gaze. What I can say about that, as a novice, is that the fund raising seems like having a philosophical mission: Do not look for money to accumulate wealth, but to accumulate values.

    Starting with a quote attributed to Socrates: "Practice is a good deal. If the man seeks is not only because he has no idea where you find the good. Therefore it is not bad but ignorant ", I can deduce that this is precisely the time when the fund raiser should intervene in the horizon seeing economic opportunities that the market can not see, becoming a collector of ethics.

    is the first time for me in the fantasy world of fund raising. From what I understood so far I can say that is the driving force behind the most complex of the non-profit world. Driving because it allows organizations to engage in their projects, making concrete ideas management; highly complex since it involves aspects I believe deeply contradictory: on the one hand the need to perhaps get some compromise, trying to tap into the resources where these are more concentrated, and, the need to place themselves in a society that will be highly credible skeptical.
    is a good challenge!

    prejudice I'm jessica and I can find in the picture! oh well I'll try to say the same about my fund raising. To me, the diversity of the matter is that the fund raiser is put into play in first person, because when you build relationships it takes a little bit out and then, before the various techniques of fundraising funds, the most risky is fascinating and inspiring the confidence and esteem of others. jessica

    I am a student (perennial), not pictured, but I recognize the classrooms!
    Just one brief comment: if the good day is half done, congratulations guys, you and whoever is passing the "passion" for fundraising.
    A big good luck!

    PS: I find particularly intriguing and interesting the idea of ​​the fundraiser as a "collector of ethics."

    So, are pictured at the bottom far right, man with glasses ... what about all the comments of my colleagues are enlightening, profound, and it relies on a "sacred fire", in short, many are really really caught, concerned and hopeful the future of the non-profit. But I have a big fear: I would not want all that revolves around end fund raising, excuse the expression, "tarallucci and wine," as the best Italian tradition ... So, although there are people pulling against - see goodbye to 5 x thousand - really roll up their sleeves for a real commitment, continuous and steady .....

    They are the "Luke" the 4 th message (not to be confused with the 10 ° ononimo my!). As written by Nicola: I think that as long as the state maintains this policy of tax deductions for those who choose to donate money to non-profit, the danger may be averted, even in trend with the fact that the bureaucracy moves back to leave the management of welfare always more individuals.

    Hello everyone!
    Pictured are from left in the third row. I know that I found I arrived late!
    However in my opinion, the fund raising is the ability of individuals to go beyond usefulness in the strict sense, but being able to svillupare relationships with other people based on a sense of belonging, of community, a small district in the country, that make the 'nothing more than a means to an end but a person can not just give us money, or who knows what, but someone who, like us, take to heart what the non-profit in that case is concerned, and then they feel an integral part.
    Kisses to all

    Hi all, I can not identify because unfortunately I was not in class that day.
    I believe that the basis of fundraising we should be listening to each part of actors (donors, NGOs and fundraisers) of the nonprofit world, as an integral and fundamental part of everyday life.
    Listening to the needs and desires.
    Good night

    Hello Professor,
    greetings to my dear colleagues,
    I think I'm the only one of those who were present that did not appear in the picture, probably because my front row seat next to the window, must have escaped the lens of his camera.
    The fund raising that you know we are doing during the lessons, from my point of view, is the study of the personal skills that an individual demonstrates that he has in the search for economic resources and, in support of and in the name of a good cause in favor of a "receiving subject" which may take various forms.
    In the professional fund raiser are, therefore, to merge the knowledge economy with human capabilities of the individual, the latter related to the attitude that the same places and in believing in spending for the one that is working.
    The basis of studies of fundraising can then return all the sciences related to the study of human psychology and human capacity autoelevarsi in search of "economic solutions" that can generally alleviate the suffering of others. Hello everyone, David Pirone.

    Ooops, I forgot .. the reflection on the Fund Raising remedy immediately:

    FR = Fund Raising Relational or Farce?

    With this joke a little 'provocative to say that the Fund Raising ... but I like to at some point: I like it as long as a tool to cultivate the relationship between nonprofits and donor; more if I do not like "not sincere" and spreads marketing!
    According to my modest point of view, in fact, the fund raising should only be used "sparingly" and not to flatter or asphyxiate the donor.
    In particular, I own a fund raising "responsible" for only three purposes:
    1-spread the message that my ONP is a witness by empowering the public;
    2-find people who sincerely believe in me (or rather in the values ​​of action and strategy of my ONP) to act with them and for them;
    3-to accountability (ie accountability to those who supports me how to spend his money) demonstrating my commitment.
    Nothing more.
    Behind every ONP there are sensitive people, generosity and hope for a better world: not scherziamoci!

    Hello everyone!
    Vivian ... I'm the girl cn fuchsia jersey in the second row on the right.
    When I read a profile that characterizes nonprofits are primarily attracted by the mission. I'd like to one day write one that many people (maybe potential donors!) To share! Today if I had a chance like that, would put the lines-of-this verse of the song "people have the power" patty smith:
    the power to dream, to rule
    to wrestle the world from fools
    it's decreed the people rule
    listen
    i believe everything we dream
    Can Came to pass trough our union
    we can turn the world around
    we can turn the earth's revolution
    we have the power
    people have the power ...
    because I think that man was and is able to improve, increasingly, their standard of living, will be equally able to use this power to help those who do not have time, those who are ill, those who does not take much to smile .
