You're a director of a nonprofit organization. You have twenty years of experience in raising funds and writing grants. Your annual fundraising event is doing well and your membership revenues are up...and still your organizations financial needs are not being met. Increased competition and static private and public funding sources have resulted in a dramatic reduction in funding. This book is the beginning of the solution you have been searching for. It represents a new vision for the nonprofit organization, one that includes setting a goal of economic independence. A goal that can pay for increased programming, raising salaries, employee benefits and retiring that long term debt.This book was written and illustrated by Louis LeRoy, an artist and arts administrator who has observed and worked with nonprofit organizations since 1974. He has seen many dedicated individuals (who operated nonprofit organizations), go without medical benefits, pension plans and sub-standard salaries for over twenty-five years. This book is about change, and a new imperitive in the nonprofit sector. That new imperitive is to attain financial independence through earned income revenues. This book is a step by step guide on how to begin this important process.

This book will help your organization with the first steps necessary to develop a new revenue stream. It also has a large variety of resources which can help your new business venture. Here are some observations of the book by administrative professionals in the field."Focused, direct and written as if Louis is telling you this while sitting across from you at dinner, the book is packed with practical advice on how to build your organization's financial resources."
Mark J. Fraire, Grants Programs & Services Specialist -Wisconsin Arts Board"The timing is perfect. Faced with diminishing state & federal funding that so many organizations have grown to rely upon, LeRoy is challenging the cultural community to invest the same kind of creativity they put into their artwork and programming into earned income possibilities for their organization. He's an excellent guide having been there and done that"
