The Piggy-Back Principle
www.nonprofitmarketingblog.com
by Katya Andresen, VP of Marketing at Network for Good

In our sector, we tend to focus on how little we have and how much more we need.  But we would need less if we got more creative about piggy backing - for example, aligning with an issue or news already getting a lot of attention, or riding a demographic trend, or using (with permission, of course) great content developed by other entities. read full story below

10 Easy-to-Use Photo Sharing & Slideshow Websites for Nonprofits
"Because a picture is worth a thousand words"
http://www.wildapricot.com/blogs/newsblog/archive/...
by WildApricot

Photo sharing has become increasingly popular in the last few years as a way for associations, clubs and nonprofits to publish or distribute their digital photos online. As a result, many of the photo sharing websites that host these photos have become useful sources and practical tools for managing photos online.

Using a photo sharing site is an easy way to share your nonprofit's event, conference or holiday photos on the web in a creative way. Photo sharing sites allow one or more users to upload photos to a main account and share those photos by email, instant messenger or by posting the slideshows on your favorite social networking site, website or blog. read full story below

by Gifts in Kind International

The Home Depot and Gifts In Kind International have partnered together to provide building and home improvement products to nonprofit organizations around the country this year. The Framing Hope product donation program matches nonprofits with Home Depot stores in their communities. Stores donated products to partner nonprofits during a 12-month period.

 

“We are grateful to be part of this program,” said Catalina Loeffler, a pilot program participant, in a recent interview. “We have received a wide variety of items including flooring materials, doors, screens, rugs, blinds, bath fixtures and much more, allowing us to help more people in our community.”

 

Registration information and eligibility requirements are available online.
