Christopher E. Stevens (PhD candidate) is conducting a survey of nonprofit executives. The survey asks some basic questions about your organization and its experience with earned income opportunities. Some basic financial and human resource figures are requested, but estimates for these numbers are perfectly acceptable. Thank you for your time, and would appreciate your participation in this study. Here is the link to the online survey:

I’m Sandy Rees and I’m an AFP member from the Great Smoky Mountains Chapter in Knoxville, TN. I’m a Fundraising Coach and I work with small nonprofits to help them raise money, strengthen their Boards, and plan for the future. I’ve written a short report about the biggest mistakes I see in fundraising in small nonprofits, and I’m sharing it. It’s called “Ten Deadly Fundraising Mistakes and How to Avoid Them” and it’s available free to anyone who wants to read it. Get a free copy for yourself at www.deadlyfundraisingmistakes.com
