About the Book

Attention Nonprofit Fundraisers: How do you leverage the passion and enthusiasm your supporters have for you into tangible resources for your mission? And without costing yourself a dime? Answer: With the AMERICA SERVES Student Journal Fundraising Guide! Based on lawyer and mom Linda Falcão's work with multiple groups of fundraisers, and honored by the US Department of Education in 2008 as a guide to service learning, the AMERICA SERVES Student Journal has been used to raise money and resources for nonprofits since 2003. Averaging around $10,000-$12,000 raised per group, the book provides weekly action plans, meeting agendas, ideas for funding and publicity, templates for invitations, group materials, thank you's, and tax ID letters, etc., along with inspirational quotes and a journal section where you can keep notes of your experiences and next steps, and reflect on what your involvement in this journey has meant to you. Nonprofits as diverse as Eve Ensler's Tasaru Girls Rescue Centre, Jesse Ruben's We Can Project, the United Movement to End Child Soldiering, Orphans of Rwanda (now Kepler.org), Polaris Project, and CIVIC (Campaign for Innocent Victims in Conflict) have used these principles to create new donations to their work and new supporters. While originally used by student groups, the materials can be used by any group (or one or two motivated individuals) to raise money and awareness for your work. You don't have to do anything more than provide a link to this site on your own website under the "Make a Difference" or "Donate" or "Support Us" tab that's already on your website and encourage your supporters to buy this book. Start helping your supporters support you today! From the testimonial of Michael Brotchner, ED of Orphans of Rwanda, about an event raising $14,000 for his organization: "Adult advisor Linda Falcão has channeled her six years of experience guiding students into creating AMERICA SERVES, which provides a guidebook for students interested in presenting an educational fundraising event in their own school or community. The smart, innovative and replicable fundraising model behind AMERICA SERVES provides a solid foundation for students around the US to enact change and activate their communities and schools in a meaningful way. ORI is grateful for the opportunity to continue working with student groups inspired by AMERICA SERVES to impact their community and impact their world." The AMERICA SERVES experience has been recognized as promoting the skills of leadership, communication, and executive decision-making for the individuals who participate in it. The Commonwealth of PA named AMERICA SERVES as a grant recipient based on its effect in enhancing these skills among the youth participating in the program. For high school students, it provides an opportunity for a truly personal and meaningful service and leadership experience that they can use in college applications. For everyone, it provide an opportunity to get involved in helping others and take pride in how their own individual skills and efforts can pay off in such a meaningful and tangible way. Please feel free to contact Linda Falcão at lindafalcao@alumni.harvard.edu with any questions about how this program can be used to support and grow your mission, while benefiting your supporters at the same time!
