A couple of opportunities to share this morning:
- Tomorrow is a big day at Ologie (my home agency). We’re hosting a day of events with Richard McPherson, the author of Digital Giving - a book about how technology is changing charity. Fundraisers and marketing heads at leading greater good organizations will be here to talk with Dick about the social Web, online fundraising and community building.
At the end of the day, Dick is going to spend a few hours with our team, talking about how these trends impact our agency and our clients. Do you have questions about online fundraising? Send them my way. I’ll share the answers here later this week. - Months and months ago, April Hayes asked for a followup to the Advergirl Resume Makeover series. She wanted: cover letters.
Good news for April: I’m finally ready to get back into the makeover business. So, if you want some advice, send in your stuff.
Submissions should include:
- A sample of a recent / current cover letter you’ve submitted to a potential employer
- Your resume
- Details on at least two jobs you’ve applied for - minimum: company name and job title
I’ll pick 2 – 3 candidates to makeover later this month. Please send your submissions to lhouseholder at gmail by September 19.
Wow, I just added that book to my amazon wish list last week! I had a few questions..
1) how does (or does) notoriety come into play w/ online giving? Are people more or less willing to donate if they feel their name or brand will be associated with the gift?
2) has there been a shift in the size of donations, now that people may give more easily?
3) would "online donation" communities work, where people could keep track of their online donations? Or are people still primarily motivated by specific causes (so an aggregator would not really be used)?
Sounds like a great day tomorrow, I'd love to be a fly on the wall for that.. (will you be tweeting, I hope?)
