My 14-year-old son Jimmy had installed some new software, against my express wishes to not install random software from the Internet (still a good idea!). Jimmy explained it wasn’t software from the Internet; he had gotten it from his friend Chris who lived two doors down from us. I had never heard of it. It was a magical hour.

The move of Apple to use software update to break hacked and unlocked phones is somewhat ironic, given the attitude of Jobs toward DRM , and the open source basis for OS X. Jobs understands that DRM doesn’t work, and doesn’t help sell music. He should understand that the same thing is true for iPhones. Be Helpful.

I said in that post: At one level, whether or not the software underneath the SaaS is open source is not relevant. You are not obtaining the software, and whether or not you can see the code, or modify it, is really not the key issue here. And, at the level of most nonprofits choosing software, this is, in fact, correct.

That’s an interesting model, and, if the software is decent, sounds like it could be a good option for some organizations. The interesting thing, too, is that their model is that they take a percentage of what you raise (5%.) No setup fees or anything else. But, of course, as with anything, look (a lot) before you leap.

Due to a lack of major upfront expenses, fundraising online is one of the most profitable ways to raise money for your organization. More involved in-person fundraisers or campaigns that require lots of resources can eat into your profit margins.
