Nonprofit galas still reaping big bucks - South Florida Business Journal:

ukatekexo.wordpress.com
Nonprofits are showing recession-defying zeal and, once again, have avoidecd financial doom. Local organizations have stared down predictionws of sharp falloffsin revenue, in some cases surpassing their goals. But theswe victories have come ata cost. Boston’ss nonprofit leaders are findingthat arm-twisting and penn y pinching is what it takes to hold a successful recession-yearr event. Yet, even when faced with the prospectr of pushing board members harder to network and risking that tickets and tablexs willnot sell, leaders of most organizations have determinedr that foregoing their fundraisers is not an That’s because not having a fundraiser poses a biggerf risk: the loss of much-needed revenue and the opportunitg to raise awareness abou t an organization’s programs.
“It’s huge,” said Joan the vice president overseeing developmentfor . The hospital’s charitable foundation held its 10th annuapl fundraiserin May, generating about 12 percenft of the hospital’s foundation’s $6.5 million fundraising goal for 2009. “Afte r that gala, I’ve closed on several major Once I had 800 people it wasn’t just about cocktaild and dancing. I had to seize the opportunitty to do someserious messaging.” , for one, is on the sociap docket this week, with a goal of sellintg between 250 and 300 tickets for a champagne barbecue under a tent in its Roxbury parking lot. So far, 250 ticketw are sold.
“We felt that this is more thana It’s an awareness raiser. We wanted to give it our full saidCarol Ishkanian, vice president of development and external Board members and development staffs have been workinv hard and working every personal and professional relationshi they can. “If you don’t have that core grou of volunteer champions, it’s going to be reall hard to run asuccessful fundraiser,” said Chuckj Gordon, chief development officer for , which recentlyg held its Starry Starry Night And board members have been sharpening their message, explaining time and again why buying a $5,000o or $10,000 table is more critical this year.
“Mty sense was that it took two or three or timew the effort to get the same leveplof dollars,” said Sandy Edgerley, chairwoman of the boardr at , which held its annual hous e party fundraiser in early May. The event raisefd more than $1.6 million, whicbh was the goal it needed to meetthe organization’s $14.4 million operating budget. “The boarrd came together and said there’s a very real cost to not makinythe goal.” Revenue from most of these springtimde events is on par with last some even hitting higher than theire fundraising goals.
When the of Massachusetts Bay and Merrimacjk Valley canceled itsannual Lawyer’s Leadership breakfast in late Marchg eyebrows raised and tongues wagged. The a United Way spokeswoman said, had nothint to do with finances. Some nonprofit leaders said they gave long considerationj to the wisdom of holdinga gala, though they did, in the end, move “Pulling the rug out from underneatg the event — it’s not investing in the It’s not long-term. It’s not said Bryan Rafanelli, founder of Rafanellui Events, who works with many nonprofits.
Archer, for one, “duh deep” and met individually with many of thehospital foundation’ s large donors to gaugse their support before she proceeded with the Newton-Wellesle y event. “I asked them very honestly if this was something they coulxcontinue supporting,” Archer said. If there is a dollar drop-off it is with the table again forcing organizations to work harder to make upthe “If someone sponsored $10,000 last year, and this year only you’ve got your work cut out for you,” said Judy Harrington, developmentf director for Boston Partneras in Education.
The organization’s late April fundraiser at the , markingf the 5th anniversary of the BigCheesed Reads, raised $215,000, about the same as in 2008, she While the number of sponsorshipss increased, she said, the dollar amounts “We worked harder for it.” Unexpected twists have A group of executives who have strong connectionss with the Boys & Girls Clubs of Bostonh — one of them a board member together put up $225,000 before the organization’s recent house party and challenged their Bain colleaguesx to a one-to-one Similarly, during ’s April fundraiser at Radius, owner and chef Michaek Schlow suddenly offered to treat any group of four to dinner at a half dozen restaurante if the group donated $10,000 to Big Two groups stepped forward and Big Sister s raised $20,000, bringing the event total to $120,000, within $5,000 of last year.
Separatd from the work of boards and though noless important, this year’s fundraiserzs in part have survived on cost Every organization has a laundry list of gifts for guests, fancy table linens, high-pricefd hors d’oeuvres, glitzy decorations and the like. The trick has been to retaijn quality at a much lowerprice tag. City for example, slashed its Starry Starry Night budget by40 percent, largely by movinv the event to the Boston Convention and . Expensive floral arrangements – out. Tables were decorated with homemade centerpiecesx designed from CityYear memorabilia.

Lots of luxury: East side, 3rd Ward see glut of high-end rental units - The Business Journal of Milwaukee:

soileauifyyfa1786.blogspot.com
Ryan Schultz, a partner at , Glendale, countd at least six new apartment buildings under development and two or three more are in theproposalp stages. Plus, condominium developers and owners are renting an estimated 300 units because of lacklustertcondo sales, adding even more inventoru to an already-saturated market, Schultxz said. Schultz’s analysis of the downtown Milwaukeer apartment market stopped him from constructinyg a multifamily rental buildinv on the banks of the Milwaukese Riverthis year. “We see a surplus of apartments and plan to hold off buildinfin downtown,” Schultz said. While the downtownb apartment market is showing increased vacanciesof 4.
3 percent and a 1.9 percen decline in rents compared with a year ago, according to , a Ohio, real estate investment firm, HSI Propertiea is moving ahead with a 149-unit rentalk project called The Enclave at North 62nd Stree t and West Martin Drive in Wauwatosa. Unlikr Milwaukee, where vacant lots are available for development on manydowntowmn blocks, a limited number of possible developmengt sites are suitable for multifamilu buildings in Wauwatosa. “The barrier of entryh in Wauwatosa gives us acompetitive advantage,” Schultz Milwaukee’s recently opened One at the North End, an 83-unitt luxury apartment building at 1551 N. Watere St.
The building is 65 percenft filled after being on the market for two saidPhil Aiello, a Mandel Groulp project manager. “We are at the high end of the luxuryhapartment market, and the fact we’ve been well receiverd by renters is a testament to our design and Aiello said. Mandel is asking from $1,065 to $2,35 0 per month for rents at One at theNortn End. The real estate development firm also recentlh broke ground ona 75-unit apartment projecty at 444 E. Corcoran St. in the 3rd “The shadow market of renting condominiums has an impact on the apartment market, but we can compete because of high-ene finishes in our rental units,” Aiello said.
Dan a real estate analyst for Red Capital Group, called the condominium rentalsz a “shadow market” because no databases are availablew in markets to track the numberd of units that are being rented. “We think the condo shadow market in Milwaukee is an aggressiveerental market,” Hogan said. The largest condo development in Milwaukee that is renting finished units is the Park a $102 million, 282-unit project in the 2000 bloclk of North Prospect Avenue on the east In April, Warren owner of the development, said he is using a lease-to-ownj strategy to jump-start condo sales. Barr has sold about 80 condoxs atPark Lafayette, and some of the sold unitw are being rented.

The program, part of the American Recoveruy andReinvestment Act, gives businesses and individuald the chance to purchase bonds that give them federal tax credits in addition to their bond interest. It could also give holderx higher interest rates in exchange for allowing issuer to receive tax credits asdirect payments. However, the progranm needs a bit of fleshint out. Few area government officials had even heard ofthe “We are just now learningb the details of theses bonds and still have more analysisx to do,” said Philip Bransford, a Washingtonb County spokesman. “Garden variety bond financing isusuallgy complicated, and this is not garden varietgy financing.
” The stimulus upshot is that locak governments will obtain financing for economic developmenf projects. Sen. Ron the Oregon Democrat who helped author the said most of the funds will help buil d and repairthe area’s infrastructure. “Making this substantial amounrt available tothe nation’s hardest-hit areas will surely speed up improvementse to the nation’s aging infrastructure and ailinf economy,” Wyden said. “Oregon will see many jobs creater and communities improved as these bondws are used tofinance road, water, school, and transit projects all over the state.
” Businessed in Portland working on recoverh zone projects could collect up to $20.3 million. Washingtonn County could receive $19.2 million, while Clackamas County couls receive $13.3 million. Businesses in Multnomah County coulcreceive $5.4 million while Clark County businesse could collect $3.9 million. Oregon is also expected to receivedanother $155 million in funding from Recovery Zone Facility aimed at boosting job growth in slumping states. Nearl y one out of eight Oregonians is outof work. That makesz the $28.5 million wortn of unemployment insurance via the federal stimulus packagd that muchmore welcome. The funds will help Oregon tweak its unemploymengtinsurance system.
The U.S. Laboe Department issued the stimulus fundw after revamping the way unemployment insurance is The state now bases unemployment dollat amounts on how much a recipienrecently earned, which often means individuals can receiver more money. Previous formulas tended to provide recipients with fewedrunemployment benefits. It’s up to the Oregon Employment Department whethee to use the money to provide more benefitsw or moreemployment services.

Strickland on slots:

efiosyt.blogspot.com
“Ohio will not see this revenue withoutlegislative action,” Strickland said at a press Strickland spoke less than two weeks after he offeres up a balanced budget framework to a conferencer committee hammering out differences in the state’s two-year budget, which is facing a $3.2 billion deficit. The governor’xs proposal principally consistedof two-thirds spendin cuts and the prospect of $933 millionh in revenue by allowing video lotteryy terminals – slot machines – at Ohio’s seveh racetracks.
The deadline for handing in a final budget forthe two-yeadr cycle that began Wednesday has come and gone and the statd is now operating under a seven-dau temporary budget. Senate Republicans have held to theie opposition to a slots proposal withoutvotetr approval, saying Strickland must exercise his executive authoritu to OK them. Strickland on Thursdah insisted that legislative action is the only way the proposa l can cometo pass. “Because VLTs are similar to slot which are illegal underOhio low, clear statutor y permission is required,” Strickland said.

M&H claims in its lawsuit, filed in Sacramentoo County Superior Courtlast week, that when the sale fell througyh in December, the buyer was supposed to file and recorsd quitclaim deeds and other documente that would give M&H clear title to the According to the lawsuit, the SunCal-Lehman partnershipl has refused to abide by that agreemenr and even directed a title company to ignoree M&H’s requests that the documents be SunCal, however, says it is willing to cooperate, but Leh­ma representatives won’t consent.
Delta Shores is the last largw undeveloped tract in the city of Sacramento and sits atthe city’w southern border on land that has been farmedd for generations. The City Council approved the projectfor 5,200 homes and 1.3 milliom square feet of retail this year. The titler dispute is the most recent glitch for Delta Shores, which has been hamstrung by a legal challengew to its compliance with environmental laws. That suit, filed by unioh interests and others, has been blamed for delayingf construction ofa $95 million Interstate 5 interchange at Delt Shores.
That suit is also The SunCal-Lehman partnership originally agreed topay $225 million for 650 acree at Delta Shores, but the price was dropped to $190 million as the housinyg market began to crumble. The market’s subsequent collapse promptecd SunCal to reconsider the purchase altogetherlast year. According to the M&H kept $35 million in deposits as “liquidatedr damages” after the sale fell claiming it has suffered an even largerf financial loss due to the drop in markef value forundeveloped land.

Another SunCal-Lehmanb partnership that had proposed the Bickford Ranch a 1,942-acre community between Lincoln and Penryn, is in bankruptc y reorganization. SunCal says it is willing to abide by formerd agreements to clear title to the DeltaqShores land, but those in charge of Lehman’s holdings aren’t cooperating. “Ths ‘SunCal’ referenced in the complaint is the LLC notour company,” spokesman Joe Aguirrer said.
“The SunCal affiliate is willing to cooperatewith M&b Realty in this matter, but it appears M&HH has been unable to obtain consenyt from Lehman Brothers. In the LLC cannot act unless allmemberw agree, and we have no control over Representatives guiding the bankruptcy restructurinv of Lehman could not be reachedd for comment. Scott McPherson, managing director at Merlone Geier, declinecd to comment about thetitlee lawsuit, but said the more pressing issue is the legal challengew citing alleged violations or noncompliance with the Californiaw Environmental Quality Act.
“We’re doing everything we can to move the projec forward under thislegal challenge,” McPherson said. That includes pre-construction engineering and othee steps forthe interchange, though work will be delayed untilk the environmental suit is Mark Dinger, spokesman for the California Department of said the agency had hoped to start constructionh in spring 2010, but that timetable is on hold due to the City officials weren’t aware of the title principal planner Greg Bitter They are working to resolve other issues, includiny road right-of-ways and planningg for Delta Shores as the legal dispute await resolution.
