Is Your Nonprofit Ready for Mobile?

April 22, 2014 By Nell Edgington Leave a Comment

Heather Mansfield’s newest book, Mobile for Good, is a nice complement to her 2011 book, Social Media for Social Good. This time around, she adds mobile to the “new media” mix and gives a detailed approach for nonprofit leaders ready to embrace changing technology. In Mobile for Good, Mansfield sounds a warning call to nonprofit leaders. The tide of […]

10 Great Social Innovation Reads: January 2014

February 4, 2014 By Nell Edgington Leave a Comment

January was all about wealth inequality, all the time. The 50th anniversary of President Johnson’s War on Poverty was an appropriate backdrop to growing unease about the fact that the rich are getting exceedingly richer. But there is much debate about what the solution is and even how to frame the problem. And where do […]

Why I Choose Google+

May 22, 2013 By Nell Edgington Leave a Comment

The constantly evolving world of social media can be absolutely exhausting. You want to keep up, but how can you when the number of sites grows every day? And each site competes with the others on look, functionality, audience size. I’ve finally decided to take the advice of many and focus my time on a […]

10 Great Social Innovation Reads: March 2013

April 5, 2013 By Nell Edgington 6 Comments

Perhaps it had something to do with the SXSW Interactive conference last month, but March was all about using technology in interesting ways to further social change. From crowdfunding, to a new giving graph, to credit card donations to the homeless, to engaging people in the arts and beyond, people are experimenting with technology for […]

January 14, 2013 By Nell Edgington 4 Comments

I’ve written before about when nonprofit fundraising goes really wrong. An organization that I donated to a few times refused to leave me alone after 11 years of ignored solicitations. Today I want to flip it and talk about a nonprofit that has done a great job at fundraising. (In some ways they mirror my […]

January 10, 2013 By Nell Edgington 1 Comment

As the end of 2012 drew near, December brought the usual looking forward and looking back. It was a time to reflect on where we’d been and where we (might) be going. It was also a time to salve the pain of disaster and tragedy with hope and innovation. Below are my top 10 reads […]

10 Great Social Innovation Reads: November 2012

December 7, 2012 By Nell Edgington 1 Comment

With a national election, hurricane Sandy, and Giving Tuesday, November was a busy month. All three events encouraged reflection about social change. And at the same time we had some pretty interesting arguments for how two of the sectors supporting social change (philanthropy and government) needed to shift as well.  All made for a fascinating […]

10 Great Social Innovation Reads: August 2012

September 7, 2012 By Nell Edgington 3 Comments

There was much discussion in August about money. We heard that foundations should be more open to risk and should engage with nonprofits to find the best solutions.

June 20, 2012 By Nell Edgington 7 Comments

I was blown away by the popularity of my post earlier this year, 9 Ways Board Members Can Raise Money Without Fundraising. It seems so obvious to me that there are a million different ways for board members to contribute to the bottom-line of their nonprofits, that it didn’t occur to me that a list […]
