  • "The Cabinet Office has produced very good guidance on how SROI should be used, but many charities aren't following it.

      I didn't know that guidance on SROI had been produced. Did anybody else? Could be useful.

      mmm, could this not be applied also to website communications? - why focus on text? - it's like appealing to one type of learner. Sometimes, even with the clever use of words, there is enough room for interpretation. Video gives a more accurate range of tonality and emotion!

    that's why I keep on insisting on tapping into the under-used video to be part of your comms ;-D pester power ;-)

  • Obama's push to weatherize millions of homes — another stimulus bonanza — will require new norms. In Oregon, a countywide program to upgrade windows and insulation at almost no cost to homeowners got a tepid response. But after an intense mobilization campaign — through citizen councils, churches and Girl Scouts who went door-to-door asking residents why they hadn't weatherized yet — 85% of the county enrolled. "What worked was creating a sense that we're all in this together and you're a social deviant if you don't join us,"

  • ocial norms help explain the attraction of opt-out 401(k)s as well: it's not just that we're too lazy to check a box but also that we assume the default is the accepted thing to do.

Stanford Social Innovation Review : Articles : Money to Grow On (September 6, 2008) - 0 views

  • The common deal breaker? A sustainable funding model. Nonprofits can likewise use this process to figure out whether and how they can attract growth capital.
  • In the for-profit world, the term “investment” has clear meaning and investors have sophisticated techniques for spotting and growing the most promising companies. Yet foundations and other nonprofit donors have not developed similar clarity or approaches. As a result, the nonprofit sector’s greatest gems often languish well below their full potential. By better translating for-profit concepts, donors can learn how to scout out and grow the best nonprofits. Likewise, certain nonprofits can take a page from business’s playbook and learn how to attract cash for expansion.

    A sustainable funding model can be used by Nonprofits as part of theprocess to figure out whether and how they can attract growth capital! - think like the business world! A further summary in the bubble on the page ;o)
