More people headed online before making donation

Non-profit Times - Cross virtually every demographic — age, gender, race, income, education and household size — more people are heading for the Internet before they make a charitable donation.  According to a new The NonProfit Times study, twice as many potential donors are heading online after receiving a fundraising solicitation by mail than they did just three years ago, and among those 65 and older, the increases were even more substantial.  Patrick’s 2 cents – study shows the growing importance of the non-profit web site + growing usage of online research on non-profit activities.

Marketing for charities

Chronicle of Philanthropy – marketing and communications expert Seth Godin discusses innovative ways of  marketing for charities.  The biggest mistake non profits make is that they’re so busy not making mistakes they end up being boring. Boring and selfish and self-absorbed, all while they’re working so hard to make the world better.  It’s ironic.
