A voice for the nonprofit movement

May 18, 2009

The V3 Campaign is working to make the voice of the social enterprise and non-profit movement heard, its value realized, and its votes counted in every election. The goal of the campaign is to develop a new generation of political leaders who understand the economic contributions of social service organizations, who recognize the potential of social enterprise and micro-credit to reinvigorate communities and who include the sector in their plans to rebuild the economy.

Much like Service Nation, the V3 Campaign is citizen driven. The campaign’s web site lists a number of ways that nonprofits and individuals can participate in movement, including emailing the following questionnaire to district congressional candidates:

Nonprofit businesses generate 10% of our economy, pay 10% of American wages, represent a workforce of over 14 million, and channel the energy of millions of volunteers annually.

1. Please describe your personal and professional experiences with nonprofit organizations.

2. Please provide three specific ways in which, if elected, you would partner with and strengthen the nonprofit sector to achieve the goals of your campaign.

As a supporter of the V3 Campaign, I also ask that you submit a copy of your response to where it will be shared with other supporters of the nonprofit sector in America.

Another cool way to participate in this movement is the V3 photo-petition, a collection of photos submitted by nonprofit staff, volunteers, and other supporters that creatively illustrate ways nonprofits generate value for our economy. 

Looking for other ways to advance the nonprofit sector and participate in this game-changing movement? Visit the V3 web site.

Give Like a Millionaire

August 13, 2008

Earlier this week, the Wall Street Journal published an article about how today’s donors are looking for more control over the money they give.  It perceptively notes that while we’re not all millionaires looking for total control over every dollar we give, it’s nice to know our donations go to supporting the cause we donate to in the best way possible.

That’s where the article recognizes organizations like Kiva and DonorsChoose.org.  The article advises: “if you want to exercise the kind of control that deep-pocketed philanthropists enjoy, consider donating to one of a new breed of charities that allow donors to browse descriptions of specific projects online and fund them, in whole or in part. “

Both Kiva and DonorsChoose.org use the Internet to connect individual donors directly with recipients of the donation, whether through Kiva’s microloans or DonorsChoose’s donations to classrooms.  They champion diverse causes, but they’re both doing what’s great: helping people exercise their philanthropic spirit, no matter the size of their bank account.

Professional Women Unite!

November 28, 2007

A colleague just brought to our attention a great web site for professional women. It’s called YourOnRamp and it bills itself as “a community of professional women who balance their work and life with flexibility and creativity.” The site has a Nonprofit section that includes interviews with sector leaders, book reviews, online discussions, job listings, and a wealth of other resources for women interested in nonprofit careers. This section of the site has a slant towards social entrepreneurism.
