We're seeing the rise of social media to promote, organize, and in some cases hold the actual charity event itself.  While initially driven by "free agent" fundraisers (those not on the organization's board or staff, but who are fans and social media users), we'll begin to see more and more as nonprofits adopt social media as part of their fundraising tool box.

We're also starting see how social media and social networks are allowing individuals to connect and self-organize charity events outside of a nonprofit organization.

Summary

Maneuvering through the New Standards and Regulatory Requirements  related to Trust and Endowments, a discussion of  Financial Accounting Standards Board's (FASB)  FASB Staff Position (FSP) No. 117-1, Endowments of Not-for-Profit Organizations: Net Asset Classification of Funds Subject to an Enacted Version of the Uniform Prudent Management of Institutional Funds Act, and Enhanced Disclosures for All Endowment Funds.
 
The new standards provide guidance on the net asset classification of donor-restricted endowment funds under the Uniform Prudent Management of Institutional Funds Act of 2006 (UPMIFA).  The guidance requires enhanced financial statement disclosures by all not-for-profit organizations that have endowments (whether donor restricted or not). The disclosure requirements apply to all not-for-profits regardless of whether the organization is currently subject to UPMIFA, a model act that has not yet been adopted by all states.

Internet Giving Benchmarking Analysis
Report Finds Online Giving Growing, Integration Key To Success
http://www.blackbaud.com/targetanalytics/benchmark...

Key findings from the 2008 donorCentrics Internet Giving Benchmarking Analysis support the long held view of Ted Hart and P2P Fundraising that Integration is key to success.

Editors Note: We here at P2P Fundraising praise Blackbaud for presenting this analysis.  Once again we urge all charities to integrate their online strategy with their offline fundraising, focusing on inspiring others to take action rather than just soliciting gifts.

Online giving still represents a relatively small portion of donors and revenue at most organizations, but it is growing rapidly and is becoming an important source for new donor acquisition.
  • Online donors are younger and have higher incomes than traditional direct mail donors. These are important constituents that nonprofits very much want to attract and keep, given the older average donor age in many files.
  • Online donors give larger gifts and, as a result, have a higher overall long-term value than donors to more traditional giving channels like direct mail, but they are less loyal in terms of repeat giving. Higher average gifts mask the lower retention rates of online donors, which may present an opportunity for improvement at many organizations.
  • The online giving channel must be an integrated part of an entire direct marketing program because although offline donors do not generally migrate to online giving, online donors do migrate to offline channels in large numbers. In addition, online donors tend to downgrade when they move offline, further evidence that online donors are not cultivated to their full potential.
