NRPA Annual fund 2000 Campaign--A look at the past, present, and future.Congratulations and thank you to all our members who contributed to last year's successful Annual Fund Campaign. On behalf of the National Recreation and Park Association's Development Committee and the Annual Fund Committee, I would like to thank all who have helped to make our first two campaigns successful. Under the leadership of Committee Chair Fran Mainella, each campaign received donations from nearly 500 members, generating more than $100,000 toward new programs and projects for your association. Although that is a significant number, our goal is to have each and every member contribute to NRPA NRPA National Recreation and Park Association NRPA Natural Resources Protective Association (Staten Island, NY) NRPA Niagara Regional Police Association (Canada) NRPA National Rifle and Pistol Association beyond the cost of annual membership dues and the countless volunteer hours many of you devote to the betterment bet·ter·ment n. 1.

This month marks the beginning of our third Annual Fund Campaign. What will we do with funds generated in Campaign 2000? One of our major goals is to generate new entrepreneurial en·tre·pre·neur n.

Antithesis of in touch with. economically sound programs that extend our annual campaign funds, that is, programs and projects that may not save us money today, but will be financially beneficial well into the future. We are seeking ideas that reduce NRPA's overhead and eliminate or reduce program expenses and labor costs while attaining the Vision 2000 Strategic Plan goals and objectives. We challenge you--the membership--to look at fund raising in a different light. Fund raising is not a dirty word; in fact, it has become an important component of every one of our jobs. If it is not an important part of your job now, it soon will be. Why is it that many of us can solicit funding assistance throughout our communities, yet we find it difficult to make a personal financial commitment to the future of our profession and our association? I look at fund raising as a necessity to ensure the future stability of our association.

If we cannot see the benefit in giving to our own organization, how can we begin to expect those on the outside to understand our goals and financially contribute to our success? Our committee is looking for park and recreation professionals, citizen advocates, and corporate systems dedicated to parks, recreation, and environmental conservation advancement.
