Are you a leader of a nonprofit organization looking to diversify your revenue through fundraising events? If so, this is the book for you. Nonprofits of all types host fundraising galas that bring them money, publicity, new supporters, and good will. From awards ceremonies to sit down dinners and auctions, galas are delivering more than warm fuzzies to organizations in your community-so why not yours? The Alliance for Biking and Walking’s Guide to Fundraising Galas is the first book to bring you the ins and outs of organizing fundraising galas that benefit bicycling and walking. Filled with models of sample galas, and take-away tools, this Guide is an indispensable resource for the new or seasoned gala organizer. Alliance draws on the experience of six organizations’ successful galas and brings you their secrets. This Guide is written especially for bicycling and walking organizations, but any nonprofit looking to host a gala will benefit from the advise and models in this book.
From rural communities to big cities, organizations are planning fundraising bike rides that are bringing them new members, new partners, new political connections, and funds to help their organizations thrive. What better way for a bicycle or pedestrian advocacy organization to show off their success in the community and raise awareness for their cause than to organize a fundraising ride/walk. But how does an organization get started organizing such an event? The Alliance for Biking and Walking’s Guide to Fundraising Rides is the first book to bring you the ins and outs of organizing fundraising rides that benefit bicycling. This Guide will take you through all the steps of planning a successful fundraising ride, from setting a date to thanking your sponsors and volunteers. Filled with expert advice, samples from successful rides, and take-away tools you can use, this Guide is an invaluable resource for the aspiring event planner while offering new tips and ideas to veteran ride directors.
The Alliance Benchmarking Project is an on-going effort to collect and analyze data on bicycling and walking in all 50 states and at least the 50 most-populated U.S. cities. This first biennial report, released August 29, 2007, reveals data on bicycling and walking throughout the U.S. including: bicycling and walking levels and demographics; bicycle and pedestrian fatalities; bicycle and pedestrian policies and provisions; funding for bicycle and pedestrian projects; bicycle and pedestrian staffing levels; written policies on bicycling and walking; bicycle infrastructure including bike lanes, paths, signed bike routes, and bicycle parking; bike-transit integration including presence of bike racks on buses, bike parking at transit stops, and hours per week that bicycles are allowed on train; and public health indicators including levels of obesity, physical activity, diabetes, and high blood pressure. The report is full of data tables and graphs so you can see how your state or cities stacks up. Inside you will find unprecedented statistics to help support your case for increasing safe bicycling and walking in your community. (August 2007, 116 pages)
