Case Study: Oxfam Helps Others By Using Internet
"we were taking in over two million dollars a day"
Dave Moore, Oxfam America
A typical Oxfam online appeal will bring in $50,000-$100,000. If other groups – such as MoveOn.org – drive traffic to us, we can perhaps double that number. Touchstone issues – e.g., Iraq – can multiply that number by a factor of 4 or 5. But for this emergency, we needed a whole new yardstick. For a few days between Christmas and New Year’s, we were taking in over two million dollars a day. And that’s just online. (Our phones – I should mention -- were constantly ringing for close to two weeks.) When things finally ‘calmed down,’ we still were taking in about $100,000 a day.

Is Your Web Site Tax-Compliant?
An organization should look at its own Web site and try to see what the IRS may see.
http://www.arentfox.com/quickGuide/busin...
by Laura Kalick, Esq.
Scores of exempt organizations now have Web sites that provide information to the IRS or anyone else who visits the site. The picture that is presented may create an inaccurate impression about the organization, however, and could raise some red flags with the IRS.
