Selling the benefits of charity..
August 8, 2011According to American entrepreneur, author and public speaker Seth Godin, ”Everything we do, we do because somehow it benefits us”.
“We go to work for the satisfaction (I hope) and because we get paid. We smile at a stranger because it feels good to be nice (and perhaps we’ll get a smile in return). We pick up [...]
Japanese tax reforms encourage future philanthropy
June 22, 2011I received an interesting email today; quite possibly third hand, through the various email forums I subscribe to. It was from the Public Interest Corporation Commission (PICC) in Japan – Japan’s equivalent to the Charity Commission here in the UK. It was a very brief statement by its commissioner, claiming that recent tax reforms in [...]
Story-telling: A new approach or a timely reminder?
May 13, 2011Have you noticed that every conference you go to, many blogs and lots of training courses are now heavily promoting ‘story-telling’? It’s the new buzz phrase that aims to get fundraisers to revisit the needs, programmes and visions of their organisations and, on that basis, we love it!

Styles of Giving?

April 18, 2011In many of the focus groups that I run for different charities I’ve tended to spot three broad types of supporters: acquaintances, friends and fans. Acquaintances tend to have a passing knowledge of the charity, are relatively warm to the charity but probably give to many organisations at a similar level. They are also relatively [...]

March 30, 2011Over the last fifteen years the momentum has been growing around the quest for a truly holistic view of the donor capable of driving an integrated marketing approach; drawing together a comprehensive view of a supporter’s transactions, behaviours and motivations. Many commercial suppliers have promoted their data and software products on delivering this ‘holy grail’ [...]

Giving in Switzerland unaffected by economic crisis
October 27, 2010Figures recently published by Swiss charity quality mark ZEWO this month, suggest that the economic crisis did not affect giving in Switzerland in 2009 as heavily as expected, as income to its members is holding steady.
Around CHF 2.83 billion (£1.84 billion/$2.87 billion) was donated to the 457 ZEWO member charities in 2009, an 8% increase on [...]

Ho ho ho…Happy Christmas!
September 21, 2010You always know Christmas is coming when the charity Christmas catalogues start to arrive! I have two on my desk – UNICEF’s and the British Red Cross’ offerings. I’ve not spotted many Christmas cards in charity shops yet or indeed in any commercial shops.
Many charities have pulled ‘brac’ on their trading offers of late in [...]
