2009 is going to be an interesting year. This year, I think the watch word for smaller nonprofits will be: segmentation. The larger nonprofits seem to have it down pat. It has always bothered me that nonprofits are measured in dollars and cents, and that we’re all lumped into the same pot. Donor Power Blog.

What nonprofits can do about it: Share more success stories, please. As the agents for social good, nonprofits are in a unique position to help reverse this trend of extreme negativity in the online collective consciousness. If your nonprofit works in disaster relief, share a story of survival. They need to feel hope.
