By Doug Plank To quote Charles Dickens: “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the age of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of light…” Many nonprofits have experienced the best of times with mobile and many have seen the worst of times. There has been wisdom and foolishness, belief (mixed with a lot of hope), certainly incredulousness and light. Why end with ‘light?’ Because a couple thousand nonprofits have truly been trying to figure out how best to use this new tool and there are considerable lessons learned to be shared. |

Social Ventures...
Thinking about philanthropy as a venture
With the multitude of channels available for fundraising -- direct mail, social media or television -- sometimes some techniques can get lost in the fold. During the 2011 Association For Healthcare Philanthropy (AHP) international conference in Boston, Mass., Bill Littlejohn CEO and senior vice president for the Sharp HealthCare Foundation heralded a “new” old tool, “philanthropy as an investment.” To balance long-term financial availability with capital requirements, Littlejohn offered suggestions on how organizations could embark on this pass.  |
Capital Campaigns...
Strategically planning the next step
With the conclusion of capital campaigns or the hiring of a new chief executive it is always in an organization’s best interest to plan for the future. Lisa Hillman of the Anne Arundel Medical Center and Bruce Flessner of Bentz, Whaler, Flessner, offered suggestions on how planning for the future can ensure staff moving forward on tasks. Their presentation “Planning Strategically, or How Do I Know What To Do Next,” was given at the Association For Healthcare Philanthropy (AHP) international conference in Boston, Mass. |
Planned Giving...
Make the most out of home visits
Sometimes fundraising can seem a lot like selling steak knives. Going door to door, hoping that someone won’t immediately shut the door in your face. But, as online interaction has become popular, can’t human interaction find a place in the fundraising cycle? During the 2011 Association For Healthcare Philanthropy (AHP) international conference in Boston, Mass., Liz Cahn and Joe Tumolo of Virtual Giving -- The Planned Giving Company, outlined their own steps for a successful fundraising visit. |
