- To survive — and even expand — in the bad economy charities need to recruit “highly committed, talented, and generous board members,” says Alice Korngold, a nonprofit consultant, on her Fast Company blog.
- Small and midsize charities should utilize cloud computing — using the Internet to obtain software and hardware from a third-party provider like Google — because it can lower technology costs, help employees save time, and benefit the environment, writes Anna Jaeger, co-director of TechSoup Global’s effort to get more nonprofit groups to use environmentally friendly technology.
- Charities can generate revenue with discount coupons through CommonKindness, writes Calandra Cruickshank, president of the company, on the Huffington Post. CommonKindness allows members to print coupons from its Web site, companies pay a fee to CommonKindness when their coupons are used, and part of the proceeds go to charities selected by the members.
- On the Donor Power Blog, Jeff Brooks, creative director at the Merkle fund-raising consulting company, describes how fund raisers can build empathy with donors.
- While the employment picture in New Jersey may be improving, charities in the state continue to suffer job losses, says Harvy Lipman, a columnist for The Record, a newspaper in Bergen County, N.J.
