Fundraising for Sport and Athletics by Richard Leonard Sj

Explore innovative fundraising strategies.

Most athletic organizations--ranging from youth and junior levels to collegiate and Olympic levels--have insufficient finances to meet operational needs, requiring personnel to learn to proactively address resource deficiencies. Fundraising has become a critical strategy for bridging these financial gaps and covering essential expenses. This is particularly true in today's financial landscape, in which the competition for fundraising dollars has exponentially increased.

In the third edition of Fundraising for Sport and Athletics, author Richard Leonard expands upon the foundation of fundraising offered in previous editions with advanced strategies, updated fundraising program examples, and additional scholarly support of the administrative concepts. The discussion of fundraising programs has been developed to include additional aspects of the fundraising campaign, including situational analysis, problem and goal statements, and tentative strategies. This edition modernizes the fundraising administrative concepts to integrate the most current standards and operational functions.

Whether you are a student studying to be an athletic administrator or you are already a fundraising administrator, Fundraising Sport and Athletics contains the ideal mix of fundraising theory and practice that is essential for achieving athletic organization success.
