Your Turn

Let it fly in this guestbook.

From the lens Charity 2.0 | Philanthropy 2.0 | Nonprofit 2.0 - & a mashup of charity 2.0 feeds.


I'll be back to work on this page, but it still will make a lot of people unhappy. Let me know what you think. Let me know how I can better convey the dire future charities face if they do not prepare.

    Working with fund raising for charities is not an easy job though. You spend your time for this for free and don't ask for any return. With open heart you do this just to help people.

    We always get a return. It can be me benefits like getting our name known, feeling good about our actions, or impressing others. There is a joy in giving, especially if it is well thought out toward creating a lasting good. We are well paid, just not in cash.

    I am trying to promote my program which uses technology for a good cause (as opposed to the mischievous (and malicious) ways it is unfortunately being often used nowadays. Would you consider adding my link to your page? Thank you.

    I am one person trying to help the local kids here in New Gloucester, ME, I need to either have someone donate a Meade LX90 - ACF 12" aperture, or help me spread the word about my fundraising website. I want to hold Astronomy Nights once a week throughout the summer for any kids interested in learning about the objects we will be viewing each week. Do you have a way to advertise my site or donate this telescope? I am not an organization, I am just one guy who wants to give these kids a chance I never had. My website is: www.makeyoungastronomers.bbnow.org
    Please check it out and see if it is a worthy cause. Thank you, Joe Edwards

    Perfect time to run across this lens, as I am a volunteer for a non-profit, charged with managing their Google AdWords (charity) campaigns and bringing in more donations. I'm reading a book, "Groundswell", but it's two years old and already a bit outdated (e.g., they predict that Twitter "may" become an important tool....) This is excellent ~ thanks for writing it! I hope you will keep it updated so folks like me can continue to prepare, and prepare again, then prepare again ~ this new technology is changing all the time!

    I am working within fund raising.
    The technology is vast!
    I have enjoyed your Lens and have left you 5 stars too!

    You are right, the tech alone can be overwhelming. Add in innovation and increasing donor independence and fundraising is getting a lot more interesting.

    Interesting read, at times I thought I was back in the dot come era. It is so true that the old methods are dwindling fast, and without technology you will miss a lot of the donors. Blessed by an Angel :)

    That era does resonate. As then we have thousands of shouting soap bubbles, shiny but without sustainable substance. Ten years later it is easy to tell who failed, and who found a way through the sharp pins of reality.

    This time we have an opportunity to learn from pioneers with arrows in their backs. They have succeeded where others fell. We will still get shot at, but by distributing efforts, our good causes can thrive.
