Because while women may take longer to cultivate than their male counterparts, once engaged they are some of the most loyal and generous donors around! The good news is that diversity in both organizing and staffing is now easier to accomplish due to the gift of technology. It's clear that (at least conceptually), the Internet affords us a great OPPORTUNITY to connect with people with rich and varied experiences across space and time.

It appears as a link in the navigation, typically called "News & Updates" or some such. The client controls the content of the blog, which is as easy as sending an email with an attachment! Can be updated from any Internet-connected computer. Are you using a blog yet to empower yourself to update your website yourself? When I create a new website for a nonprofit, I always attach a blog to it. Anyone can do it.

About three in ten (35%) adult internet users age 18 and older have a profile on a social networking site like MySpace, Facebook or LinkedIn. Despite comparatively lower levels of social network use, usage of social network sites by adults has increased markedly over the past four years.

am finding the coverage by media such as The New York Times and The San Jose Mercury News to be short on detail and long on anecdote [typical headline: It is OK for kids to be online ]. SO if you want a quick review of what is going on with this research, the bottomline is: most of the popular ideas adults have (oh, and the media that promote them) about teen use of the internet are wrong. The media release from the Foundation notes the significant findings: There is a generation gap in how youth and adults view the value of online activity.

Let me know what you think... > * How did Internet change the way nonprofits fundraise? Maybe a better question would be, "HAS the Internet changed the way nonprofits fundraise?" For example, it's entirely feasible for a news website to automatically match stories (IE: flood in India) to donation opportunities (IE: International Red Cross). Tags: tags tagging online Nonprofit I received an email from a college student asking if he could interview me about ePhilanthropy and the future of online fundraising.

I strongly agree with her assertion that many folks still "just don't get it" when it comes to understanding that the internet cannot be co-opted. Instead, the internet has to be approached as a different medium which has/is fundamentally changing the way people understand, use and access information.
