Charities finally cashing in on Web 2.0 revolution

Late last month, some 25,000 people in 75 cities across the globe gathered in groups to walk a dozen kilometres - some of them meeting at dusk and sleeping outside in parks or on public lawns, then rising at 5 a.m. to make the trek back. They were replicating the journeys made by northern Uganda's "night commuters" - children who each evening travel to safe towns to avoid abduction by guerrillas during the night.

Philip King to present at LGBT Conference

Artez eFundraising — Tue, 03 Nov 2009 07:21:21 -0800

Join Philip King, Artez President & CEO, at LGBT Conference on Saturday, November 7th! His presentation, titled "The Search for Sneezers: How to Find Online Donors in Epidemic Proportions" will not solely focus on internet tools but the application and implications of these tools on fundraising, particularly online. The internet has become a seamless gateway to effectively solicit the help of others while also capitalizing on the capabilities of a few natural networkers. In this presentation, Philip utilizes the spread of disease as a metaphor wherein fundraising is enhanced by the ability of these few to “infect” many effortlessly. This metaphor is designed to help attendees understand how to better create, execute and measure grass-roots fundraising on the internet and how to identify and cultivate ‘sneezers’ in online fundraising.

The 100+ Canadian Nonprofits That Tweet

Artez eFundraising — Mon, 02 Nov 2009 09:08:53 -0800

Over ten years ago when we first started out in the world of digital philanthropy, we noted how difficult it is for Canadian organizations to access specific information about the charitable sector. Most published metrics were American – where does Canada fit into the scene?

Things have definitely changed for the better, with far more information about the Canadian nonprofit community available thanks to groups like @imaginecanada , @charityvillage and so many others. However, in this excellent list: 130 Foundations That Tweet we noticed only two Canadian grant-making foundations made the list.

We were inspired to round-up the Canadian groups we’re following on Twitter and share the 100+ Canadian Nonprofits That Tweet. We’re including foundations, non-profits and charities, under the definitions set for voluntary organizations in Canada.
