Three ways to engage millennial donors By Kathleen Kelly Janus for Stanford Social Innovation Review For many nonprofit organizations, getting young people to support their work seems an insurmountable challenge. Millennials are a mystery to them. As the stereotype goes, what is the use of involving the lazy, unemployed, social media-addicted generation, anyway? Even so, it's widely understood that millennial engagement is vital to cultivating a pipeline of support for the years to come. The good news is that engaging millennials does not have to be such mystery. In fact millennial supporters can become an organization's most avid champions. At Spark, an organization I co-founded, which is now the largest network of millennial donors in the world, we've proven that while they may not have as much to give, collectively their impact can be powerful. In nearly 10 years, we have raised more than $1.5 million to support women's issues, mostly in contributions of less than $100, and probably even more importantly, we have inspired a large group of young people to support gender equality issues who will likely continue to contribute to women's organizations for decades.

Harnessing the power of the crowd By Patricia Campbell, content manager, The Guardian In the years since Barack Obama's crowdfunded presidential campaign put this alternative form of fundraising on the map, crowdfunding has diversified dramatically. In the UK, digital innovation, particularly across social platforms and the financial tech (fintech) industry, has engendered a flourishing sharing economy, disrupting the natural ebb and flow of traditional finance streams. Peer-to-peer models are thriving, with the crowdfunding sector showing substantial growth. Crowdfunding can neatly be described as the practice of financing a project or venture via small amounts of money from a large number of people. It's most commonly understood as a means to fund grassroots businesses, with "backers" recouping financial rewards. But, driven by uncertain economic times, a new crop of donation-based crowdfunding sites for personal causes is booming. Read more. |
Funding innovative breast cancer treatment By Tom Jackman, reporter, The Washington Post The journey started in the gym at West Springfield High School in 2004. The rookie coach of the girls volleyball team wept as he told his players he was struggling not only with teaching the sport but also with his mother's recent diagnosis of Stage 4 breast cancer, the deadliest stage. The girls were speechless, stunned by Rick Dunetz's raw display of emotion. But they rallied around the coach in an electrifying run to the district championship, galvanized by his mother's first appearance at the title game. Dunetz was struck by how the players and the patient fed off each other: The team's underdog winning streak, he said, seemingly inspired his mother to keep fighting cancer. Read more. |

Sponsor's insight Four signs performance reviews need to go By Mike Bensi, advisor, FirstPerson Performance reviews feel as though they have been around since the beginning of time. No matter how many organizations say they are going to blow up performance reviews, they still remain. They are the things that wouldn't leave. They are inevitable and universal, just like those family and friends who can't or won't take a hint that it's time to go. More feedback, more often is the future of the dreaded performance review. Meeting with your employees once or twice a year to assess their past, present and future is beginning to seem quite quaint. Some organizations, like Instacart, are moving to a hybrid system that bridges the old and the new. Others have decided to ditch the annual process entirely. Performance reviews have come to be seen as more trouble than they're worth. Just ask Adobe, who nixed their annual review process earlier this year. Or startup Zugata, who aims to make that frustrating process less time-consuming and more productive. Read more. |
