    article by Steve Daigneault, 2.15.2013 on what the Obama campaign staff learned from their fundraising and advocacy program in 2012. Excerpt: "Facebook app made a huge difference for their mobilization efforts. The app allowed the campaign to ask supporters to contact specific people on their friend list based on geography via Facebook. Toby and Marie estimated that millions of additional people were reached this way that weren't reachable via any other channel. Best performing appeals often had the highest unsubscribe rates. Turns out, evoking passion in supporters worked both ways, but ultimately the campaign decided the positive fundraising results were worth the increased unsubscribes. Even when considering retention, the conversion stats outweighed the downside of losing people."

    From Nonprofit Tech for Good blog, 1/11/14 Interesting to see how this list meshes with the list from 2015 from the business and not for profit side. Top of the list is mobilizing online communications and fundraising campaigns. Although not free and costly to small not for profits, social media and responsive designs for websites, blogs, and e-newsletters will become common. Flat design - making sure everything is optimal for mobile is crucial. Donate buttons on social media sites. Google Wallet will be integrated into Google+ pages. Already on YouTube Channels that participate in YouTube's nonprofit program. Live reporting on social media of org events, maturation of mobile fundraising apps, and increased employment opportunities in new media jobs in the nonprofit sector are the other 2014 trends.

    great article on rise and decline of Wikipedia by Andrew Lih, June 21, 2015, NYT. Rise of smartphones is one challenge; fundraising continues apace creating new tensions around allocating/dividing proceeds; record participation in elections for new trustees is call for new governance?; too few women as editors or trustees; yet Wikipedia is most popular way into articles/resources in museums, etc.

  • funders do not invest sufficient funds in our organizations to build capacity because we don’t have enough capacity.
  • Yet we are constantly asked to do stuff, to sit at various tables, to help with outreach, to rally our community members to attend various summits and support various policies.
  • Because we don’t have capacity, we can’t get support to develop capacity.
  • ...6 more annotations...
  • funders provide small grants to nonprofits of color so they can do things like hire a consultant to facilitate a strategic planning retreat, or to send them to workshops on board development, fundraising, personnel policies, or myriad other capacity building topics.
  • critical missing element. Staffing.
  • If we value the voice of our diverse communities, we must build the capacity of organizations led by those communities. But we must do it differently than how we’ve been doing it. We must invest strategically and sufficiently.
  • Capacity Paradox.
  • capacity of immigrant/refugee-led nonprofits by providing this critical missing element of staffing.
  • The gap in leadership among the immigrant/refugee communities will widen further because kids are not entering the nonprofit field. Most immigrant/refugee kids are pressured by their families to go into jobs with higher pay and prestige

  • “Staffing, workflow, finance and fundraising will be the trends to watch in nonprofit operations during 2017 when it comes to charities and associations.”
  • “The Limitations of Seeing Volunteers Only as Unpaid Staff,”
  • volunteers are seen as ancillary, not central.
  • ...9 more annotations...
  • direct invitation, not a Facebook post.)
  • clustering” – banding together to share resources or determining specialties.
  • Skilled volunteers can be integral to these developments, both to guide the learning management systems necessary and to present a wide array of professional development and public education programs.
  • support prevention rather than “bandages.” Point funders to volunteer work that brings about change and the finances needed to grow that work.  
  • screen applicants with experience solely in the corporate world for whether or not they also have a history of charitable giving and volunteering?
  • NPTimes foresees a surge in new training programs and certification opportunities, as well as nonprofits moving towards offering education to the general public to generate revenue.
  • Separate tasks that can legitimately be delegated to competent volunteers as their only role
  • Volunteers, however, can be advocates. They can speak out and be heard in more effective ways because (most of the time) they do not personally benefit from the outcome.
  • Marching and public protest are core activist tactics. But, the true potential for volunteerism is that many people are looking for how they can have a voice and affect decisions to come.
