Nevertheless, the findings seem interesting. The researcher missed, I believe the most interesting finding, which is that the two most important determinants -- the two most important factors -- in their decision to become a donor, is family income and personal income. Women listed as most important priority seating and then family income and then attendance, and then personal income. It is as if all men are sports fans -- they just need to have the money, and they'll do it. Women, on the other hand want value first and then they will consider whether they can afford.
I think the author of the study would have made a stronger study by diving up the motives from Influences. Motivescould have included such factors as seating access and attendance. This is the value sought. Then the Influences could have been listed, including income and past experiences, for example....
The researcher could have hypothesized that women would seek value while men seek affordability. Therefore men will be driven by Influences, while women will be driven by Motives. The survey could have been administered and the results organized in this manner, using basically the same presentation of calculations. Then men and women donors could be identified as something tangible, rather than merely as one groupd which rates "motives" highly and one that rates them slightly less-than-high.
Finally, many of the refeences appear to be made up. I cannot seem to look up a single one of them without difficulty.

The first step is dubbed "Stop and Think." As the steps' name implies, it advises that the decision maker take it slow to avoid bad decisions based on emotions. The second step, "Clarify Goals," is about understanding both short- and long-term impacts of the decision. Next, in step three, the decision maker is to "Determine the Facts" by gathering information. The fourth step, "Develop Options" leads the decision maker
In contrast, the University of Kentucky' College of Health Sciences uses a cooler and more distanced technique. The positive social missions of the school encompass education and research. This benefits students, but also benefits society (and thus potential donors), by providing health professionals and higher-quality care to society as a whole. The University of Kentucky brochure's approach is less personalized in nature than the Center for Common Ground, other than
fundraising activities and particularly grant seeking behaviors is a significant issue for any organization that relies on such funding. According to Jacobson (2006) the manner in which fundraising is integrated into existing systems is also important, as are the promotion of systems that are supportive of existing structures and innovative structure standards. Fundraising systems are so important in the health care field that they potentially make or break significant
Fundraising Activity The rodeo lost $8326 in its first year, and there are a number of different options on the table for improving the profitability next year. One of the options includes the creation of two more major sponsor slots that would be used to offset some of the costs that the organizing committee incurred in the first year. One of the largest costs was $3341 for the contestant hospitality tent,
Technology for Terrorist Fundraising Activities Over the last ten years, the way terrorist organizations have been funding their operations has been increasingly evolving. Part of the reason for this, is because law enforcement has greater tools in going after these groups. What has been happening is a host of different governments around the world have been giving them: increased powers to conduct surveillance and other covert activities against these organizations.
The amount of money the target audience has at its disposal will also determine the type of event held -- a wealthy donor base might justify a fancy auction, with a high price per 'plate,' while a donation drive to encourage teenagers and middle-schoolers to donate a portion of their lunch money to help hurricane victims would stress small donations, but not justify the physical expense of an 'occasion.'
