Abstract
Fund raising is an important component used by many non-profit organizations. For some non-profits, it is the one thing that keeps the organization viable from year to year.
The fund raisers of two non profit organizations, Literacy Volunteers of America, Cape-Atlantic, Inc. and The Community FoodBank of New Jersey, Southern Branch were used to determine which fund raisers are more profitable.
Fund raising events from both non-profit organizations for the past three years have been listed. This was done to compare events held by the two non-profit organizations and the money raised from those events.
A survey was also given to the executive directors of both non profit organizations. This survey was used to develop a public relations plan for successful fund raisers. The public relations plan lists objectives and strategies which can be used in the planning of fund raisers.
