Nonprofit fundraiser for book festival
To organize a book festival many subjects must be addressed: the reason for the fundraiser, public need, monetary goal, special guests, sponsors, initial capital, permits, and volunteers. With the right tools, the fundraiser can be a huge success. Starting out with the basics and organization is crucial in the process of any fundraiser. Welcoming different ideas and recommendations of the organizers of any event are a must. The purpose for this fundraiser is to raise awareness about adult illiteracy. The book festival fundraiser will target the adults who struggle academically and in the workforce because of illiteracy. Reading is a fundamental skill necessary to succeed in the world today. According to Boyer (1994) “Children are our most precious resource. Their well-being is bound to the well-being of us all. To neglect anything that will improve their chances in school and life is simply foolhardy, since to invest in children is to invest in the future of the nation.” Reading will develop these children into well-spoken, well-rounded, and intellectual adults. With stating these facts, the city of Boston, Massachusetts, in the last 20 years has continued to create jobs in sectors such as manufacturing, technology, and service jobs. The economy of the city focuses mostly in the financial, business, service, professional, medical, education, high technology, and defense industry. One of the oldest literary publications based in the United States for many years is Bostons Atlantic Monthly. With the support and sponsorship of these sectors, a fundraiser of this magnitude could succeed in this city. The population of Boston according to the Census reported in 2010 is 617,594 and key sectors with the highest number of employees are in the health care and social
