Aufgrund zunehmenden Wettbewerbs und rückläufiger staatlicher Förderung hängt der Erfolg von Nonprofit-Organisationen immer stärker von der Marktorientierung ab. Im vorliegenden Buch wird deshalb nicht nur das klassische Marketing auf nicht-kommerzielle Institutionen übertragen, sondern ein eigenständiger Ansatz aufgezeigt. Zunächst werden die Besonderheiten von Nonprofit-Organisationen herausgearbeitet und dann die zentralen Aufgaben bei der Planung, Organisation, Durchführung und Kontrolle eines Marketingprozesses. Im Mittelpunkt steht dabei die konsequente Ausrichtung der Aktivitäten an den Erwartungen der internen und externen Anspruchsgruppen sowie an den Marktveränderungen. Zahlreiche Beispiele verdeutlichen die Möglichkeiten einer effizienten Gestaltung der Ressourcen-, Absatz- und Kommunikationspolitik. Zudem finden die aktuellen Entwicklungen und Erkenntnisse, zum Beispiel in den Bereichen Social Media-Kommunikation oder Relationship Fundraising, Berücksichtigung.

Beer argues that the better a nonprofit organization can speak to donors’ needs to construct and maintain an identity and to belong to something larger than themselves, the more successful the nonprofit will be in attracting supporters to its mission. He explains how nonprofit executives and fundraisers can effectively engage a donor’s identity and provide a sense of belonging in three powerful ways: by telling stories, by building genuine relationships, and by giving donors positive experiences with the organization and with one another.

The Quest for Belonging is packed with trenchant, useful, and sometimes surprising observations gleaned from Beer’s interviews with highly successful fundraisers, scholars, writers, and nonprofit leaders. This book is a trove of practical advice as well as a paradigm-shifting work on the psychology of giving and the art and craft of fundraising.

In-kind donations are an essential resource for many nonprofit organizations (NPO). However, their high practical relevance is not yet reflected in the literature on nonprofit marketing and fundraising which still focuses primarily on cash giving. Against this background, we summarize the limited and fragmentary literature on in-kind giving and provide some practical insights.

The paper makes several contributions: first, we present an income classification of NPO’s manifold mix of resource sources that includes in-kind donations. Second, a classification of (cash and non-cash) donations categorizes the heterogeneous forms of donations and, in particular, financial surrogates. Third, and based on this typology, we develop a comprehensive definition of in-kind donations as an important step towards conceptualization. Fourth, we outline the specifics of in-kind donations and associated challenges via three case vignettes that illustrate practical experiences of NPO in dealing with product philanthropy. Finally, we give some recommendations for NPO’s in-kind fundraising endeavours and indicate avenues for further research.
