Earlier this month, the Detroit Institute of Arts was "saved" by a voter-approved property tax (called a "millage") in its three surrounding counties. I'm focusing on the community response to the prospect of the millage and the way the public debate reflects broader conversations about the public value of the arts.

Its true impact has yet to be measured, but Twitter, Facebook, Foursquare, and every other social media platform have already caused a revelation in how people want to communicate.

The art of persuasion is a science that everyone has the ability to improve upon, according to psychologist Dr. Robert Cialdini. An important principle of persuasion is “social proof” — that people when faced with a choice they aren’t sure about, look to others around them for guidance, whether consciously or not.

The objections shared usually involve board members not wanting to ask people they know for money. The irony is that the people your board members know are the MOST likely to donate. That’s why many nonprofits are looking for options to engage board members in fundraising without requiring them to directly solicit people for money.
