I’m working with the Knight Foundation to facilitate a peer learning exchange that will help their community foundation partners learn and spread best practices in planning and implementing Giving Days. The post was also published on the Knight Foundation blog here. The campaigns were treated as works in progress.

Double the Donation

The company was founded in 2011 when Adam Weinger, Double the Donation’s President, was working at a major bank and made donations to his university, the local Big Brothers Big Sisters organization, and LLS. By the time he realized his company had a matching gift program, it was too late to get many of those donations matched.

As I wrote back in September when first covering Giving Tuesday, Giving Days are not a new idea and have been successful in local communities and entire states, like GiveMN which raised many millions of dollars in 24 hours using the Razoo platform its first year. Our friends at Fast Horse posted a nice summary here.

The marriage of refurbishment and accessible technology started in the early 1980s with the founding of the National Cristina Foundation. Another great nonprofit program that accepts used computers for the purpose of supplying them to disabled people is Touch the Future in Tucker, Georgia near Atlanta. Touch the Future.

We started with 47 conveners we selected around the country–regional, state, and local arts agencies and membership associations, whom we asked to invite their member organizations to take our survey. A case in point is Georgia Shakespeare. We were surprised, overwhelmed, and delighted at the level of response to our project.

We recently spoke with Elana Frank about her experience founding and scaling the Jewish Fertility Foundation (JFF). Her background at a community-organizing nonprofit in New York and a master’s degree in nonprofit management gave her a solid foundation for starting a nonprofit. But even so, she’s had much to figure out along the way.

The photo is a fundraiser for a local Budhist Temple which is trying to raise $100,000 for a building project (a large amount for that community) and money is coming from many small donations. I have raised over $100,000 for the Sharing Foundation (not counting any prize money) with and without contests.

That’s something we have heard more and more over the last year, as foundations and nonprofits look for ways to tap into the growing online giving market with these daylong campaigns raising funds for local causes. You can learn more about the Giving Day Play Book from this press release or upcoming Webinar. But they don’t have to be.

The tech support nonprofit, TechBridge in Georgia, has launched the first crowdfunding platform for nonprofit technology projects. Team Confufish Royale from Australia developed an app called Foodbank Local that allows businesses to easily donate excess food. Image four: Trag Foundation. Very sophisticated for a student team.

Sending comprehensive annual report booklets to the right donors can pay off, like in the case of The Rhode Island Foundation. They cut down on the number of reports they mailed directly (and made the report available online) but made sure to continue sending the paper version to some local lawyers.
