Today, nonprofits face a reduction in grants; an economy that is stretching their nonprofit dollars to the max; an increase in demand for their services; all while trying to reach new donors in a very competitive industry. Nonprofits are trying very hard to "get the word out about what they do for others", while growing their organization for long-term success.Connect To Charityhttp://www.connecttocharity.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3614581.post-15018452624368224292008-07-01T20:12:00.000-07:002008-07-01T20:12:00.000-07:00I like embedded giving because it provides a stead...I like embedded giving because it provides a steady stream of revenue for non-profits. The key to successful embedded philanthropy seems to be transparency in the accounting. For some reason, too many organizations seem terrified to provide any level of accountability. This horrible lack of judgment needs to be corrected immediately in order to make these programs sustainable.<BR/><BR/>Dan Durazo<BR/>http://dandurazo.wordpress.com/Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3614581.post-38467645572823642312007-12-27T18:44:00.000-08:002007-12-27T18:44:00.000-08:00Are you kidding? do you think its something new? i...Are you kidding? do you think its something new? it has been there since ages, though the mode of production were different. take orchards in India as example, in my village special trees for the travellers and passerby were planted at the boundry line of each orchard, so that they can taste it and people who are outsiders have something to stay on if they dont have anything to eat. Coining new terms is not innovation.Syed Yunushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03670656466914033489noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3614581.post-53878077884638422672007-11-09T10:09:00.000-08:002007-11-09T10:09:00.000-08:00Every purchase does in the form of involuntary cha...Every purchase does in the form of involuntary charitable giving through sales and other taxes.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3614581.post-22010278762142060002007-11-05T17:22:00.000-08:002007-11-05T17:22:00.000-08:00One of the reasons the current presentation of "em...One of the reasons the current presentation of "embedded giving" data is so haphazard is probably because the practice is so new. Eventually, companies will figure out a way to print their giving numbers on your receipts, flash them on LED displays, have a running ticker on their website. Folks in frequent buyer programs will get their personal year totals in a xmas mailing.<BR/><BR/>The practice could mature so that the choice of charity by the company is more an extension of the brand. So Nike would give to "Right to Play" or "Nothing but Nets", Coppertone would give to melanoma research, Dell would go for bridging the digital divide.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3614581.post-44658292424469793962007-11-04T08:54:00.000-08:002007-11-04T08:54:00.000-08:00forgetfulness can be a good thing; it is just like...forgetfulness can be a good thing; it is just like breathing. if giving were like breathing rather than a financial transaction where you count the cost, what would be the loss? just a sunday morning thought.xb bloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01535117540376659363noreply@blogger.com
