Pantagraph.com | Life | The shifting tithe: "n a trickle that could become a tide, church people are redirecting their tithes and offerings from the collection plate to direct transfers from their banks and credit unions.
The number of people doing so grows person by person, church by church, with some resistance in cases -- and a lot of resistance in others. Such resistance, and reasons behind it, keep churches from pushing too hard when it comes to signing up their supporters for automatic bank transfers."

'Gun for hire' aids nonprofits | Inquirer | 03/26/2007: "Board members were exhausted and in despair, laying off workers and sweating out each week's payroll, board chairwoman Kristy Buzard said. Funders began to lose confidence.
So Howley, 47, pulled on his hip boots and waded in.
'They thought they were dead, and they were close to being right,' he said.
Howley is an interim director - or, as he says, a 'gun for hire' - who comes in after an executive director has left, and cleans up the mess or stabilizes the organization while the board takes a deep breath and figures out what to do next."

The Badder Good

Published: March 25, 2007
Not long ago, in a pile of unopened mail, I came across a solicitation from a new organization that sends authors into New York City public schools. I found it bizarre, because I volunteer for a different organization that has been doing much the same for a long time. Then, a few days later, after donating money to one police-affiliated organization that solicited me by phone, I received a call from another one.
Well, you don’t have to be a cause-crazed fund-raiser to know that new charitable organizations are springing up faster than ring tones.
And of course, many are born of nothing but the best intentions."

The Art’s Here. Where’s the Crowd? - New York Times: "Two decades after Los Angeles emerged as the nation’s second art capital, the city is reaping the benefits of a migration of artists, galleries, dealers and curators. In recent years more than two artists have moved to this city for every one that moved away, a net rate of gain that is higher than in any metropolitan area in the country, according to an analysis of Census Bureau statistics by Ann Markusen, a professor at the University of Minnesota."

Remember when VCRs first hit the market? What cost hundreds of dollars then can be picked up today for $39.99, while Blu-ray is the latest and greatest. That’s the reality of technology; what was new and cutting edge (and expensive) yesterday is standard fare (and cheaper) today. The same can be said of online fundraising. What used to be an expensive, custom program for a pioneering nonprofit is now widely available to others for a substantially lower cost. That means that online fundraising is accessible to more organizations, and those who’ve been doing it for awhile are refining their practices."

Undoubtedly, the enthusiasm generated in the Dallas Convention Center is contagious. The Sunday Opening Plenary Session, sponsored by Bernstein Global Wealth and Philanthropy World magazine, began with a band that included such top hits as Shania Twain’s “Man, I Feel Like a Woman!”—with new lyrics. You had to be in the audience to appreciate “Man!
