Clara Miller, the head of the Nonprofit Finance Fund, always has terrific insights into sector, especially in the area of funding as one might expect. She just published an article, The Looking-Glass World of Nonprofit Money , which zeroes in on many of the problems of the sector. It's a great argument for social enterprise, because earned income can be used in the ways that for-profits would invest money for growth and infrastructure.

Whenever there is a flash animation on the top of a web site, I hardly ever take it in. As I watched the marketing slogans cascading slowly across the splash page of the Walker Art Center's Web site, the line "Where Inspiration Meets Conversation" made me pause and think before I started clicking. What a great slogan for a blog! The Walker is one the pioneers in the field of art and technology or digital art.
Last month I was able to introduce Steve Case (of AOL fame) for his closing keynote at the 6th Gathering of the Social Enterprise Alliance. His remarks just appeared in the Wall Street Journal under the title Purpose and Profit Go Together. It's very exciting to see the spread of interest in social enterprise and social entrepreneurship among the community of top tech entrepreneurs.

Do you really know your donors? Not just what they give, but who they are? 👥 In this interactive session, we’ll break down how nonprofits can use behavioral indicators (affinity, recency, frequency, and monetary value) to build prospecting segments that go beyond wealth screening and actually align with donor identity. You’ll walk away with practical strategies to move beyond basic demographics and cultivate supporters based on how they already engage with you!
Yesterday I visited Betsy Bayha, a friend of mine who is a producer for Lucasfilm, working on documentaries. Skywalker Ranch is a very cool place! I was passed by four guys in Stormtrooper gear: the publicity machine is getting ready for the release of the new Star Wars movie later this month. The environment is designed to be conducive to the creative process: I was especially impressed by the library in the main house.
I just had to post this email I received. A couple of the Benetech team members hold the patent on the talking GPS locator for the blind technology, and this user is using technology we helped create. Jim From: "Rich Irwin" To: "Gps-Talkusers" Hi All: Thought I would share a great GPS experience I had last week. I needed to take a 50 mile trip using several public transit systems to an area I had never been before.

Payroll compliance is a cornerstone of business success, yet for small and midsize businesses, it’s becoming increasingly challenging to navigate the ever-evolving landscape of federal, state, and local regulations. Mistakes can lead to costly penalties and operational disruptions, making it essential to adopt advanced solutions that ensure accuracy and efficiency.

Lisa Meyers Brown responded to my question to her about her observations of the state of blogging by nonprofits. I'll try to be focused here by simply saying that the nonprofit world is seemingly in a place of exploration, as are many for profits. We're not sure how to use blogs most effectively, the ROI, how to strategically integrate ourselves into the medium given the "rules" of blogging, and even more, how to genuinely integrate ourselves into the conversations about cancer that ar
Last week I posted about Dave Gilbert's experiment with podcasting "unnofficial audio guides" at Moma, a project called "Apologia: We love MoMA. Hackers hack a platform out of respect for it." This morning, Dave Gilbert emailed with a link to the NY Times article about his project. Way to go Dave! These audio guides were inspired by a recent podcasting trend called "sound seeing," in which people record narrations of their vacations so others can enjoy.

A couple things about this article " Cambodian ex-monarch joins blogger community " in the Taipei Times caught my attention. The King's Royal Blog (which is written in french, english, and Khmer) and ability to make the article into wikipedia links. Sorry for the crosspost with Cambodia4kids, but occassionally technology issues do crop up in Cambodia, despite the lack of electricity in someplaces.
Because it relates to blogging and because part of my extended family is from the Philippines (as well as Cambodia) here goes: By way of Global s Online , a Google Bombing campaign to change the online image of women from the Philippines and take back the keyboards flipina and Philippines. It got started by Milky Soft's post " Filipina and the Philippines " How to participate. 1.

To see the full set: [link]. My questions: Is there a way for nptech folks to share their practice working with clients via flickr? Food for thought.
David Weinberger wrote posted this interesting twist about information overload : The power of tags shows that the way to manage information overload is more information. That's what the doomsayers of the 90's ??? Information Anxiety! Information Tidal Wave! ??? didn't foresee. So, guess he is saying more is less? There was an excellent point in one of the comments from Jon Husband: It's (the flow) not gonna stop, and the traditional ways information and knowledge have been classified, ordered,

Last week I asked " Where is the nonprofit blogroll ?" and in the comments section, Marnie Web left a quick response pointing me to npoblogs.net and some history. Yesterday, I was delighted to see that Marnie Webb posted step-by-step instructions on how to add your nonprofit blog to npoblogs.net. (This was on my to-do list). It is being maintained by Ruby Sinreich ( be sure to read her blog entry about her presentation on community blogging).
That was the name of the session for this Thursday's Bloggers Meeting at the Berkman Center. The moderator was Shimon Rura. The session begain with an overview of some of the familiar services that are using tagging. There was also a look at the differences between spurl, furl, and delicious in terms of clusters, related tags, bookmarking widgets, private tags, etc.
By way of Greg Beuthin at ext.311 some interesting arts and technology links: Plone for Artists. TheatreWithoutBorders (CivicSpace). Looks like Arts Wire, the next generation! By the way, Arts Wire was the original artist online network. Launched in the early 1990s using a text-based conferencing system (think the Well for artists), it didn't quite make it.
If you're interested in nonprofits and blogging and podcasting , drop everything and go read Brian C. Russell's (AudioActivism) and Ruby Sinreich's (LotusMedia) presentation slides at the recent RPTnet conference. There is also an audio clip on the site of an interview done as a demo during the session. (I wish they had recorded and distributed the entire session. ).

Across the nonprofit sector, organizations invest heavily in donor retention efforts, yet the struggle of cultivating lasting relationships remains. While attracting new donors is crucial, the lack of repeat donors poses significant financial risks. Through a comprehensive analysis of industry data, experts argue that there is a direct correlation between donor burnout, donor retention, and the talent retention crisis.
Tip of the hat to Michael Stein for pointing out this new white paper by Exponent Partners, Paul Hagen, called " Salesforce Nonprofit Opportunity." Normally, my eyes would have glazed over, but the recent thread, "What's in Your Tool Box?" has been inspiring one or two nonprofit technies to share their list of tools. All this was inspired by Michael Gilbert's article sharing his publishing tools and workflow.
I'm going to blogher conference ! Got childcare lined up and found a cheap flight. I'm going! Now all I have to do is figure out how to make this image show up on of my side bars!
Recently I came across a metaphorm for the blogosphere, Blog-poly : a game of monopoly. I started to wonder about what an appropriate metaphorm for the nonprofit sector of blogosphere might be. But, before I could even begin to play with that idea, I need to blog some examples of nonprofit blogging. While browsing the blogher schedule , I came across Lisa Meyers Brown's blog " The Rhetoric of Me " which is focused on: "What I think about everything.especially nonprofits and social
This graph comes from Intelliseek's blogpulse. It scans all the blog sites it is aware of and graphs the hits for a key word or phrase as a percent of all its blog posts. When I visited, it had discovered 11,254,702 blogs (hmm. a million more than Sifry's Alerts announced a few days ago. This graph answers the question: What is the percentage of total blog posts that mention the words "nonprofit organizations" and "blogs"?
Effectively managing cloud technology is getting more complex. From cybersecurity concerns, vendor lock-in, cost increases, or lack of transparency on costs, it can quickly get out of control. Knowing what you can control and finding a platform that’s built with nonprofits in mind is key.
