- NEW SOURCES OF INCOME FOR ACCOUNTING ASSOCIATIONS.
- Creator
- MCGHEE, ARCHIE., Florida Atlantic University, Luing, Gary A.
- Abstract/Description
-
Accounting associations have been slower to develop non - dues income than have trade and other associations . Thirteen major accounting associations, excluding state C. P. A. societies, indicated that their rate of non-dues income varied directly with the association's membership. Only associations with less than one thousand members failed to conform to this pattern. In 1970, only the accounting associations with a 25,000 membership, or over, attained the level of non- dues income reported...
Show moreAccounting associations have been slower to develop non - dues income than have trade and other associations . Thirteen major accounting associations, excluding state C. P. A. societies, indicated that their rate of non-dues income varied directly with the association's membership. Only associations with less than one thousand members failed to conform to this pattern. In 1970, only the accounting associations with a 25,000 membership, or over, attained the level of non- dues income reported by trade and other associations in 1967. The sale of books and other publications was the greatest 1970 source of non-dues income; however , rising revenues from educational and training courses threaten this leadership position . Income from advertising and publication subscriptions increased; but advertising's taxability and the increased association scrutiny by the Internal Revenue Service may reduce emphasis in these areas. The threat of losing tax-exempt status could dempen future efforts to expand non-dues income for accounting associations .

- A VALUES STUDY OF VOLUNTARY FINANCIAL CONTRIBUTORS AND NON-CONTRIBUTORS TO AN INDIVIDUAL MEMBERSHIP ASSOCIATION.
- Creator
- MATTHEWS, GERALD WILLIAM., Florida Atlantic University, Sanford, Donald G.
- Abstract/Description
-
This study attempts to explain the motivation for a voluntary financial gift through the analysis of individual value systems. Contributors and non-contributors to a fraternal association are compared by value rankings. Certain socioeconomic information was also collected and compared. It is anticipated that the study will be a base of information for more detailed study into the complex field of motivation to contribute financially to not-for-profit organizations.

- Reaching a new breed of donors: Strategic communication for attracting baby boomers as major donors to public institutions of higher education.
- Creator
- Stephens, Katie Gustafson., Florida Atlantic University, Scodari, Christine
- Abstract/Description
-
Maturing baby boomers are moving into prime giving years and, if history repeats itself, this generation will change the "philosophy of giving." These aging baby boomers will amass significant wealth either through inheritances or their successful businesses. It is therefore critical that professional fundraisers identify how to effectively communicate with the affluent members of this generation to develop them into major donors.

Show moreMaturing baby boomers are moving into prime giving years and, if history repeats itself, this generation will change the "philosophy of giving." These aging baby boomers will amass significant wealth either through inheritances or their successful businesses. It is therefore critical that professional fundraisers identify how to effectively communicate with the affluent members of this generation to develop them into major donors. Using a qualitative approach through in-depth interviews, this research examines characteristics and traits of baby boomers, identifying seven common themes that can be used to develop communication strategies. It concludes that affluent baby boomers demand accountability from charitable organizations and value meaningful experiences. They are focused on personal accomplishments and are deeply family oriented. Messages must be concise and delivered by those respected by the donor. High-tech media are preferred.

- EFFECTS OF PUBLIC RESEARCH UNIVERSITY LEADERSHIP ON INSTITUTIONAL FUNDRAISING PERFORMANCE AND THE MODERATING ROLE OF MANAGERIAL POWER AND TRANSFORMATIONAL LEADERSHIP BEHAVIORS.

This dissertation investigated the influence of university presidents and business school deans on fundraising performance at public research universities. Drawing on strategic choice theory, upper echelons theory, and transformational leadership theory, this research suggests that managerial power and transformational leadership behaviors moderate the relationship between an institution’s fundraising strategy and its performance.

Show moreThis dissertation investigated the influence of university presidents and business school deans on fundraising performance at public research universities. Drawing on strategic choice theory, upper echelons theory, and transformational leadership theory, this research suggests that managerial power and transformational leadership behaviors moderate the relationship between an institution’s fundraising strategy and its performance. To test these hypotheses, data on strategic choice, managerial power, leadership behaviors, and leader demographics were collected from 79 U.S. public research universities for fiscal years 2017–2021. Panel regression, specifically random-effects generalized least squares regression models, tested the hypotheses. The study found that university presidents and business school deans who exhibited transformational leadership behaviors, had higher fundraising outcomes. Furthermore, the study identified a significant positive effect of a dean’s prior work experience at prestigious institutions on a business school’s fundraising performance. This implies that deans hailing from elite institutions might possess qualities or networks that significantly enhance fundraising outcomes.

- Abstract/Description

This study operationalized Bekkers and Wiepking's (2007, 2011) eight theoretical mechanisms that drive private giving, examining them within the context of alumni donor behavior at a selected public university in the southern region of the United States. The purpose of the study was to determine if the theoretical mechanisms that drive private giving represent distinct psychometric dimensions, and whether they are correlated with one another or essentially independent. A survey with 24...
Show moreThis study operationalized Bekkers and Wiepking's (2007, 2011) eight theoretical mechanisms that drive private giving, examining them within the context of alumni donor behavior at a selected public university in the southern region of the United States. The purpose of the study was to determine if the theoretical mechanisms that drive private giving represent distinct psychometric dimensions, and whether they are correlated with one another or essentially independent. A survey with 24 original items was created for this study, and completed by 178 alumni association member donors and non-member donors from the selected university. The study found support for six factors that are relatively independent of one another, contributing meaningfully to the overall multidimensional construct. The found factors were labeled efficacy, solicitation, reputation, values, altruism, and awareness of need as they fit reasonably well according to their original names. No differences were found between the mean response scores for alumni association member donors and non-member donors across the six dimensions. These results are beneficial for university fundraisers, alumni relations professionals, researchers in the field of philanthropy, and methodologists interested in developing instruments that measure the motivations for private giving.
