Comment on Fundraising Experiment Now in Progress: Return on Influence by blogette

Not sure if you saw the little article for Heifer (and sort of Salvation Army) but it looks like they’ve dived into this power of influence thingy in a neat way. Here’s the link, hope it works: http://www.nwanews.com/adg/national/175558/. Exerpt: “With Christmas coming on, the charity started registering the bloggers and offering them online tools such as a fundraising thermometer and a button readers can click to make a credit-card donation…A knitting blog has brought in $ 19, 000 so far, he noted.” Hmm, hope your friends start to see the greatness in this idea! At least to test

Comment on Fundraising, the Cave Man, and Don’t Tell the Donor by Sean Stannard-Stockton

Sorry, I submitted this comment under the wrong post before:

Just like many companies hate their customers and many customers hate the businesses they buy from. I’m not one of those donor advocates that believe that big donors know better than the nonprofits what they should do with their money and as important as “performance measurement” is, I also recognize the many short comings in trying to measure nonprofits. That being said, I think both sides could benefit from more transparency.

Thanks for contributing to the conversation. I like that you regularly draw other blogs into what you’re talking about. The more we can all reach out to each other the better. As Phil Cubeta told me when I first started blogging, “Blogging alone is lonely.”

[…] I read a post on Donor InSite recommending that writers of fundraising copy hang up photos of their donors, or photos of people from magazines representing their donors, to look at and remember when composing fundraising letters. This is a very good idea. […]
