  • Fundraising Bright Spots
    FUNDRAISING BRIGHT SPOTS: STRATEGIES AND INSPIRATION FROM SOCIAL CHANGE ORGANIZATIONS RAISING MONEY FROM INDIVIDUAL DONORS By Jeanne Bell and Kim Klein This paper is one of a set of reports commissioned by the Evelyn and Walter Haas, Jr. Fund to address chronic fundraising challenges highlighted in the 2013 UnderDeveloped report. That report, produced in partnership with CompassPoint, gave voice to widespread frustration and raised the question, what now? In response, the Haas, Jr. Fund engaged a group of creative and respected experts to help us explore potential solutions. The Resetting Development work group looked at the issues from different angles: • What can we learn about the “culture of philanthropy” as a way of breaking the vicious cycle of underdevelopment? • What can we learn from organizations that are beating the odds? Both reports can be found on the Haas, Jr. Fund website: www.haasjr.org CompassPoint intensifies the impact of fellow nonprofit leaders, organizations, and networks as we achieve social equity together. We are a national, nonprofit leadership and strategy practice based in Oakland, CA. For over 40 years, we have strengthened nonprofit leadership and supported organizations and movement networks to adapt and operate strategically. We also collaborate with fellow capacity builders and regularly share research and tools with the field at large. We invite you to review our theory of change to learn more about our stance and approach to this work. In short, we view leadership development and capacity building as means to accelerating social justice.

  • Curling in Canada Stephen G. Wieting and Danny Lamoureux North
    Curling in Canada1 Stephen G. Wieting and Danny Lamoureux North American fans of sport long have recognized the prominence of Canadians in ice hockey. Ever since cable television services expanded in the 1980’s to offer both US and Canadian viewers programs with live coverage of the other countries’ sporting events (and as this television industry capital allowed Canadian Football League franchises to bid for United States college stars), US football fans have admired the wide-open style of the Canadian Football League. These presumed dominant Canadian sports aside, the rink of Sandra Schmirler, the four-member team she led to the 1998 Gold Medal in Nagano, was named ‘Canada’s Team’ in 1998 instead of the Grey Cup champion Calgary Stampeders of the Canadian Football League and Canadian hockey franchises within the National Hockey League.2 World championships have been contested for men in curling since 1957 and women since 1979, and there are few sports of any kind that have witnessed so commanding a dominance by a nation of a sport as Canada in curling. The long and venerable tradition of curling in Canada is relatively unknown to fans and sport scholars outside that country. This general gap in international attention to the sport and its very uniqueness suggest its potent value as a resilient example of sport and cultural memory – that is, how portions of Canada’s cultural legacy are remembered in sports writing, idealized athletic images, and national celebrations of a sporting endeavor. The very recent emergence of the sport onto an international viewing stage provides in sharp detail as well a record of how the history of a national sport and the special features of its performers negotiate the necessary but often treacherous channels leading to global attention.
