  • 2008 Online Giving Trends
    It's only been a few days since the end of 2008, but I wanted to share some very early online giving trends from Blackbaud clients.

  • Philanthropy and Nonprofit Top 25 List - December 2008
    I compiled this list using the same methodology I used forĀ  my October 2007 list . Unfortunately, I still can’t compile a list of nonprofits outside the US. Quantcast and compete.com don’t do a good job of checking out international sites so I’m still limited by their inability to go outside US borders. Check out the list after the jump… Site URL Monthly Traffic (in millions) % Change (if available) Organization Status wikipedia.org 67.5 67% Wikimedia Foundation, Inc. 501c3 pbs.org 9.

  • Favorite Do-Good Books of 2008
    PhilanTopic included the book on its list of Best Philanthropy-Related Books of 2008 . 3. Here Comes Everybody: The Power of Organizing Without Organizations by Clay Shirky What I loved about Shirky's book was that it wasn't about Web 2.0 tools, it was about how Web 2.0... . I immediately bought his book and relished every page. Who knew that the actor who played BJ Hunnicutt on M*A*S*H was such an incredible human rights activist? This was probably the book that moved me the most in 2008. Check out his website at www.mikefarrell.org .

  • Election Comedy #too many to count
    The comedic piece everyone is talking about today is from Ron Howard , which I have pasted below. I think there is certainly an age thing here. I get it, I appreciate it. My younger employees, not so much. [Just to bring this back to our subject for a minute. Is it a coincidence that all this comedy is video and not a really witty blog post? Video people. It’s the other white meat, it’s what’s for dinner, and breakfast and lunch. It’s what you need to be doing to get your messages out.

  • Comparison of Email Newsletter Tools - Updated for 2008
    Last year I wrote a paper comparing email service providers (ESPs) for email newsletter blasting. The paper was based on research conducted by ONE/Northwest to figure out what the range of tools was for our typical non-profit client, and which ones seemed to be the best fit. I recently updated the document for 2008 - not much has changed it turns out, but Vertical Response has become even more attractive now that they offer 10,000 free email sends per month for registered 501(c)3 organziations.
