Are you ready for a huge spike in online gifts this month? I hope so! Because the money — and the donors — are out there.
How do we know the three organizations Facebook is supporting for its Ebola campaign were the best choices for our donations?
Change is coming to philanthropy. Big change. Hoping it will "blow over" is not a workable response. Doing what you've always done is a prescription for extinction. But neither is simply taking action based upon our own perspectives and experience.

Why? Because 53 percent of you are not measuring your social-media efforts and 67 percent have no social-media strategy. We all know that is not the best approach.
FundRaising Success is excited to be sitting down with the ALS Association to talk about what's happening in that organization in the aftermath of the social-media phenomenon, the Ice Bucket Challenge.
Here are 12 simple steps any organization can take right now to make their donors happy, boost their retention rates and create sustainable gifts year after year. These are the changes that matter.

Believe it or not, using Facebook is not as easy as just posting information about your nonprofit.
In an exciting, two-part webinar series FundRaising Success is hosting in partnership with Blackbaud and Charity Dynamics, the ALS Association is providing an exclusive, inside look at what happened this summer and what has happened since the Ice Bucket Challenge.
We were blown away by the global participation in this year's campaign. Without further ado, we're thrilled to announce the winners of TechSoup's Storymakers 2014 contest and to share their words about storytelling.
