Fundraising in a Recession: Don't Panic!

Channing — Thu, 09 Oct 2008 06:57:31 -0400

You can sense the nervousness for fundraisers right now as they watch the stock market flop around like a goldfish on the floor.

And the media pundits aren't helping. There are the Survivalists ("It's the Long Emergency - grab a tin of cat food and head for the hills!"), but also the Pollyannas ("It's business as usual - Capitalism needs to have a heart attack every few years!")

Don't panic! Instead, let's look at a historical example to gain some perspective. In fact, our example will be Ground Zero for the original Wall Street apocalypse: what was it like to fundraise during the Great Depression?

The Power of the Internet and Non-Profit Videos

GoodTube — Tue, 05 Aug 2008 17:31:06 -0400

The future of the media today truly is online. The amount of people switching to the internet for their daily habits such as reading the news, watching the news, shopping, research... everything can be found online, and can be used to our advantage. It shouldn't be any different for humanitarian-based initiatives. Non-profit organizations can use the internet and the power of voice and visual aid to their advantage online. That's where a website like www.goodtube.org can come in handy. It is completely non-profit, completely free to use, and is a channel for non-profits to use and share their videos with others.

Doxie needs eye operation

Las Vegas Guy — Fri, 19 Jan 2007 15:40:07 -0500

Well it may be bad form, but my first post is actually about another post I had put up a little while ago. It involves a dog named Zippy. He is a rescue Daschund, very young and needs an eye operation. The operation will end up costing around 3,000 dollars. Without it, he will likely end up blind at a very young age. You can read my original post here under Can you help?

Or if you prefer to make a donation right now, use this link. Zippy is in the Las Vegas area and is a wonderful little dog. He needs a guardian angel soon. If you are looking for a great Daschund to adopt or just want to help him get well, visit www.almosthomerescue.org.
