There's a story there with actual individuals being affected. Such was the storyline for a campaign by Environmental Defense Fund (EDF), which told a universal tale of survival to communicate about the kit fox problem in Northern California. Information in the context of a story is dramatically more compelling than straight facts. Your communications person or a volunteer may produce your newsletter while others are creating donor letters, annual reports or grant requests, or training new volunteers and staff. If you heard that a certain type of fox is endangered, would you be moved to act? How about if you heard that a mama fox was trying to keep herself and her litter safe as their forest disappears? Now that's different.

fiscal sponsorship may be a good formal solution. The agreement should also protects potential donors, because if they do give a donation (for example, a grant) and there are not proper agreements in place, the sponsorship relationship may not exist, in the eyes of the law (or the IRS); and it may wind up that, under legal interpretation, a grant has been given to you without the tax exempt status actually being in place, despite all of the best intentions in the world. Depending on how agreements were written (between [Warning: this post and no other post in this blog is either legal or financial advice.

This got me thinking about bumper stickers, as well as the context in which our messages may be seen. Here in California, I often see bumper stickers that say, "I saw the Mystery Spot ." While bumper stickers may not actually lead to world peace (or whirled peas, for that matter), they can be an effective way of building awareness of your cause and perhaps getting people to think about it in a new way. I drove behind a car yesterday that made me wish I had my camera with me. It was a city parking enforcement vehicle, sporting bumper stickers like those I've often seen on

It's just like the California Gold Rush or the Frazier River Valley Gold Rush.
