Recently I was able to speak with Jason Dick, blogger for the site ‘Small Change’. We discussed the 7 Deadly Sins of Fundraising.
Click the link below to read our interview:
Is Person-to-Person Fundraising Dead, or Just Getting Started?
My answer is neither! Person-to-person fundraising is certainly not dead (far from it), but it got started a long, long time ago.
Even if you don't follow fundraising trends, you may have heard of Kiva. Oprah and Bill Clinton are both big fans, and it's received a lot of media coverage of late.
What is Kiva? Well, it's an exciting web service that allows individuals to make microloans (literally, small loans – as little as $25) to entrepreneurs in developing countries. Microfinance institutions screen individual entrepreneurs, and post profiles of qualified ones online. Individual lenders are then able to browse the profiles and select who they'd like to support – perhaps the young man who wants to fix up his family restaurant, or the woman who needs a new sewing machine for her home seamstressing business. The entrepreneurs pay back their loans to the microfinance institutions, who return it, via Kiva, to the lenders.
A winning fundraising strategy demands two things — the right technical solution, and the right strategy to go with it.
Artez has clients all over the globe who are increasing fundraising and connecting closely with donors and participants.
