Daily Thoughts 7/31/2010
I walked up to my local branch library and picked up a copy of Webster's New World Grant Writing Handbook by Sara Deming Wason. It is a basic overview of the grant writing process. I found this article from Oxfam kind of interesting. http://www.mrss.com/oxfam-eoy-2008-fundraising.pdf It shows a fairly common web application called a lightbox combined with a web video that is used as part of a fundraising campaign.
It is kind of interesting reading about the different types of foundations and trusts from community trusts to family foundations to corporate foundations. It is mostly new to me. I am reading it in the context of getting new technology like MP3 players, Ipads, Nooks, digital cameras, and software into the library.
I have been going through all my old emails for the last couple of years where I came across examples of people, corporations, and foundations giving money to libraries in our county and compiling them into a single document. It is mainly a mix of news articles and biographical profiles.
