    "Human Centered Design Toolkit Close For years, companies and other organizations have used Human-Centered Design to arrive at innovative business solutions. Funded by IDE as part of a grant from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, and in collaboration with non-profit groups ICRW and Heifer International, IDEO relied on this approach to improve the lives of communities in Africa, Asia, and Latin America. The resulting HCD Toolkit helps NGO staff and volunteers understand people's needs in new ways, find innovative solutions to meet these needs, and deliver solutions with financial sustainability in mind. The free kit is divided into four sections that bolster listening skills, running workshops, and implementing ideas. The HCD Toolkit contains the elements to Human-Centered Design, a process used for decades to create new solutions for multi-national corporations. This process has created ideas such as the HeartStart defibrillator, Cleanwell natural antibacterial products, and the Blood Donor System for the Red Cross--innovations that have enhanced the lives of millions of people. This process has been specially-adapted for NGOs and social enterprises that work with impoverished communities in Africa, Asia, and Latin America and compiled into a Toolkit available for download here or for order at cost at www.blurb.com."

  • Conventional wisdom says that scaling social innovation starts with strengthening internal management capabilities. This study of 12 high-impact nonprofits,however, shows that real social change happens when organizations go outside their own walls and find creative ways to enlist the help of others.

    This fund might be worth exploring for our joint project......if successful, it would give us funding to explore everything we discussed in detail......before actually delivering workshops. What do you think?

      Very inspiring change context - and see it with community building eyes - from the philanthropic sector ;-) enjoy
  • every year a culture book including testimonials of employees about how it is to work at Zappos.
  • Zappos tends more on spending money on employees than on media planning.
  • ...6 more annotations...
  • We invest the time and money into hiring and nurturing the right people, as many other companies do in their media planning - Brian Karma, Zappos director of creative services and brand marketing
  • you’ve got it in you DNA, whether you don’t: being able to implement the community management at all levels of a company, the 360 degrees process communities as Ross Mayfield explains, is more like an utopia for many companies that won’t be able to master the social media channel as Zappos do right now.
  • It’s one strategy that would work for any company,
  • not a company culture that many can afford to develop
  • the strategy is just smart: empowering people so they keep on being accurate and engaged with their customers to provide them with the best-in-class customer care, making people comfortable with buying shoes online and spreading the word thanks to the customer support.

  • $1,000 grants have proven they can change the lives of low-income individuals of potential in the Twin Cities. With 60 million living below the poverty line in the United States, and 400,000 low-income in the Twin Cities alone, the MicroLoan/Grant concept can help individuals and families of potential move out of poverty to a middle and upper-middle class standard. A significant percent of those 400,000 low-income in the Twin Cities are energetic people of potential. With a boost up of $1,000 or more with some mentoring from our volunteers, they would be able to change their lives dramatically.

community radio funding fundraising

shared by william doust on 27 Mar 09 - Cached
  • In 1981, Garrison Keillor, the popular host of Minnesota Public Radio’s satirical “A Prairie Home Companion,” offered listeners a free poster of his mythical sponsor’s “Powdermilk Biscuits.” To everyone’s surprise, more than 50,000 requests poured in; the station faced a $60,000 printing bill. To avert “financial disaster,” as MPR president William Kling later recalled, the station used the back of the poster to advertise products for sale, such as a Powdermilk Biscuits T-shirt. The idea worked. “I think we netted off that poster, which was really our first catalog, $15,000 or $20,000,” Kling said. “It instantly became clear that there were things like that you could do.”1
