I think the last test factor - how do they respond if you tweet that you just gave - is really a critical step in developing relationships that many overlook. What did you find out about their responses? <br /><br />Also, from this small sample, could you extrapolate any trends that you hadn't seen previously?<br /><br />Best, DebraDebra Askanasehttp://communityorganizer20.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1410527928650560979.post-952326096468889652012-11-27T20:02:05.047-05:002012-11-27T20:02:05.047-05:00We can do that!We can do that!Donor Relations Guruhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15768044971685878089noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1410527928650560979.post-66357994703645648812012-11-27T15:33:07.378-05:002012-11-27T15:33:07.378-05:00This is a fantastic idea -- I'd also suggest t...This is a fantastic idea -- I'd also suggest that you make some of your donations as monthly gifts and evaluate how you are stewarded by different organizations......Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09363373678659533880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1410527928650560979.post-79200153284248155232012-11-27T13:40:40.653-05:002012-11-27T13:40:40.653-05:00I completed your analysis.

The donate link is buried on the site or it takes multiple clicks to find the form. Hopefully your experience will push more nonprofits to improve their online giving experience.<br /><br />KevinKevin Martonehttp://www.twitter.com/kmartonenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1410527928650560979.post-42703306099399014752012-11-27T11:56:40.649-05:002012-11-27T11:56:40.649-05:00Love it and thanks for sharing!!Love it and thanks for sharing!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1410527928650560979.post-13411890873786699742012-11-27T11:21:30.495-05:002012-11-27T11:21:30.495-05:00What a great idea and a great day to give to so ma...What a great idea and a great day to give to so many wonderful orgs!

Most non profits fund causes they are guilty in creating. they dont' want to change their lifestyle but have this inner guilty so they donate to those that suffer from their actions. What they give does not stop causes but rather increases causes which increases global problems. Humanities biggest enemy today is giving - how we give is so wrong. We need to learn how to give before giving which usually means stop how you earn your own living - change how you earn your own living and you help change the globe. medical is a good example - causes create illness but doctors today profit from pills which solves no problems. it's like giving a pain killer and ignoring the causes that creates the pain. eventually the causes that creates your pain will also kill you. The best is wall street - they know their living causes global poverty yet they still earn their money doing the wrong thing but give to the small percentage they destroy - insanity. <br /><br />we need a new plan, we need to educate ourselves on a completely different reality. globaltshirtfriday.com is my effort to make a shift on a global scale. I have plenty of work to do, I'm just one person. but if everything is wrong on the planet that means there is massive opportunity to do the right thing - the universe is hiring - who is looking for a new job?Judy lapointehttp://globaltshirtfriday.comnoreply@blogger.com
