Corporate Giving Declined in 2008
Last month we mentioned GivingUSA's annual assessment of individual giving which showed that donations from individuals had dropped 5.7% overall in 2008. Things were even worse on the corporate side. The Committee Encouraging Corporate Philanthropy's 2008 assessment of corporate gving (PDF) reports that corporate giving was down nearly 8% overall ($30.78 million compared to $33.19 million in 2007). Although 53% of corporations surveyed said they had increased their giving, and 27% had increased giving by at least 10%, it wasn't enough to make up for the overall decline.

  • The 2007 Skoll Awards for Social Entrepreneurship
    The big celebration was also in the Sheldonian: the 2007 Awards for Social Entrepreneurship. And it was exciting! Below, I have picked a few select photos: the rest are on my Flickr page. Salman Ahmed got the crowd pumping as before, and then we met our four rockstar presenters (well, at least one is literally a rock star, and the other three have a pretty good claim to the status): Jeff Skoll, Peter Gabriel, Sally Osberg and Muhammad Yunus.

  • 5 Tips to Start a Nonprofit Blog
    I am often asked for advice from nonprofits that want to start a blog. Here are five of the tips I most frequently give: 1. Read blogs. I can’t tell you how many amazing, visionary nonprofit leaders I talk to who when I ask them if they read blogs say, “I read email.” There are lots of theories about what is the best social media tool to first introduce to nonprofits. Newsreaders are my top choice.

  • Widgets of the world unite…
    ChipIn’s Carnet Williams says something very interesting in this interview with Britt Bravo (which to Britt’s great credit rather trumps my own interview with Carnet last month). Carnet says… What I think 2007 really should be part of is the evolution of the widget into a smart widget.

  • Four Steps to Ease You Into Social Web Activism
    If you just need bodies at a rally, names on a petition or donations in your coffers, mobilizing through traditional means will work great. But if you need an active, educated and effective movement, organizing through social webs has the potential to create much more lasting change." --Ivan Boothe, Organizing Rather Than Mobilizing: Using Social Networks for Constituency Building I'm filling in for a panelist on Sunday at the Bioneers Conference for the session , Alternet Presents: Social Media Activism/Web 2.0 Networking for Change.

  • My Fundraising 2.0 presentation
    On Tuesday (…it already seems much longer than that), I facilitated an “online fundraising” workshop for a number of wonderful development NGO-people in Brussels. We were all attending the Euforic AGM . Scarily, a few photos have appeared on Flickr. Not sure how much sense my presentation will make without the narrative, but here it is anyway: I peppered the session with examples of charities (and donors) already using social media to raise money for their causes. Participants raised some challenging questions.

  • Leveraging social networking to influence change
    PR Blogger Stephen Davies thinks we’ll start to see a fragmentation of social networks. As people begin to tire with the vast, general nature of MySpace et al , they may migrate to niche social networks that are more relevant to them, their passions and their lives. He asks: So what does it mean for brands? Niche social networks can be tapped into for more relevancy in online engagement. For example, which platform makes the most sense for a brand like Pedigree ? Bebo or DoggySnaps ?

  • What is Twitter, Really? And Can it Do Anything for Museums?
    There’s a new 2.0 drug that’s caught on hot and heavy in the last six months: twitter. If you’ve never seen twitter, take a moment and check it out. There's the basic site . There's twittervision , twitter's most popular mashup, which shows tweets (twitter entries) real-time on a global map. And many more mashups and applications available here . And now, the first question in everyone's head: why the heck would I EVER want to follow this 140-character tripe?

  • Interview with Brooklyn Museum's Shelley Bernstein
    Let’s say you wanted to find a model museum using Web 2.0 to support programs and exhibits. A place that blogs, that engages in social networking sites, that tries experiments, and reports about all of it honestly. A place that truly sees these initiatives as part of their mission to serve their local community. A place that does all this in the context of a fairly traditional collections-based museum. A place that makes it all pretty darn cool. Is there such a place? You bet. It’s the Brooklyn Museum . They've played with Twitter . They just finished a YouTube video contest .
