Community organizations are nonprofits that
operate within a single local community.
They are essentially a subset of the wider
group of nonprofits. Like other nonprofits
they are run on a voluntary basis and are
self funding. Even within community organizations
there many variations in terms of size and
the way they are organized. Some are run
like mini-businesses, with written constitution
and a board of directors (also known as
a committee), while others are much smaller
and are more informal.
Examples of Community Organizations:
Amateur sports clubs, school
groups, church groups, youth groups and community
support groups are all examples of community organizations.
Typically community organizations such as sports
clubs are run on a fairly formal basis with full
scale accounting procedures in place, whereas
the local cheerleader group will be less formal.
Fundraising for Community
Organizations:
Fundraising for community organizations
is very different from that of charities and the
larger nonprofits. Charities typically receive
the bulk of their money from donations. Donations
such as these rarely account for much more than
5% of a typical community organization's annual
total.
There are many reasons
why community organization fundraisers have it
a little harder than their charity counter-parts.
Obviously community organizations have a lot less
resources at their disposal than the bigger nonprofits
and charities, but the main reason is that the
benefits of charities are much more obvious than
those of the typical community organization. Community
fundraisers can overcome this disadvantage by
taking a people-focused approach to their fundraising.
Relationship building is a key part of the people-focused
approach. Relationship building communicating
the benefits that the organization offers to the
local community. Open days and other such events
are very valuable relationship building events
