Beth Kanter wrote an extensive, thoughtful account of the upcoming Twestival event , which aims to raise $500,000 for the group charity:water.

I cannot merely say “We raised XXX more dollars with software that cost $ZZZ.”. when do you say, “As of this time, we are now raising $XXX more dollars than we did before – based on the new software?” One of my maxims is that a database doesn’t raise money — people raise money. Stewarding current donors. Time-management.

A recent survey published by NTEN, Common Knowledge, and ThePort had a similar conclusion: Only 39 percent of respondents said they've raised money on Facebook. 29 percent said they had raised $500 or less there during the previous year, and only 1.2 percent said they had raised over $10,000.

I got a press release today from a PR firm promoting its client's plans to raise $1,000 for Thanksgiving meals and $5,000 for families in need at Christmas. What's special about a charity raising money for families in need at the holidays? While these are certainly laudable goals, I had a strong negative reaction.
