摘要

Many factors impact the economy, and each and every one of them can play a roll in how effective fund-raising efforts might be. Successful investors can often become valued donors, but an economic downturn can just as easily turn an expected boon into a bust. Identifying and nurturing prospective donors is hard work and time consuming, and the return on that investment is higher in a healthy economy. What worries me most is the state of the economy, or the current economy that is referred to as healthy. While it is true that there is nothing that is immediately alarming about it, there are indicators that suggest all is not what is seems. Frenzied behavior by real estate speculators and home buyers in the US market have caused what some analysts have labeled a "bubble" in several housing markets. I have come to understand that bubbles in any market are never a good thing, but perhaps they are unavoidable, cyclical, and natural. But every bubble represents a market that has developed beyond its means to maintain its growth. We saw such a bubble in action in the late 1990s, when the stock market seemed invincible with almost weekly record breaking highs. When the stock market bubble popped, ripples were felt far and wide, even if only slightly. Personally, I saw my projected retirement dwindle over night. I saw others lose significant amounts of money from what they wrongly thought of as safe investments with high returns. On a larger scale, I even witnessed a substantial donor become slow to uphold their philanthropic commitment. While the details are not known to me, it is likely that the original gift was to be from the revenue generated by investments in the market that were no longer producing. I am sure this was not an isolated case as many saw their worth on paper recalculated downward after the market readjusted.
