I just read a piece on the Care2.com nonprofit online marketing blog, Frogloop entitled, “The Future of Online Fundraising.” The author, Allyson Kapin writes about a new online fundraising program in which Autism Speaks, through a collaboration with Blackbaud, built Autism Speaks U in an effort to personalize online fundraising for purposes of enlisting those […]
Yesterday, the League of Conservation Voters (LCV) and I parted ways amicably. The event was no fault of my own or LCV’s. As such, I am again, back on the hunt for a new job. This time, I hope to refrain from jumping at the first offer and really consider whether it is a good […]
My apologies for not posting much this month until now. I was away for familial reasons; my wife gave birth to our second child — a son. Life is rapidly unfolding for me and I couldn’t be happier. Recently, I wrote about redesigning Heather Carpenter’s Web site at NonprofitAlternatives.org. The site isn’t live just yet, […]
Lately, my weekends have been some of the best of my life. This weekend was no different. On Saturday, October 30, 2010 I attended the Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert Rally to Restore Sanity and/or Fear in Washington, DC on the National Mall. It was a fantastic event. The acts were just as good as […]
(See the original on The Blot Says… blog) If you follow me, and I thank you for doing so, you know that I am a big fan of anything related to zombie lore. From my About page to one of my recent posts regarding Rhiannon Frater’s As the World Dies trilogy and my complete and […]
Today is a great day for me. Since I started with League of Conservation Voters, I advocated for the new Adobe Creative Suite (CS) to do my job more effectively. Because I work at a nonprofit, we were able to get the product from Tech Soup at an incredibly discounted rate. I am happy to […]
If you’ve visited the “About” page on WillHull.com you’ve probably noticed that I enjoy reading horror novels. In particular novels about zombies, apocalyptic scenarios and the breakdown of society. I absolutely love Brian Keene’s The Rising and City of the Dead series as well as his Hammelin’s Revenge zombies in Dead Sea. Rhiannon Frater is […]
Today, as is accustomed to my personality, being a Myers Briggs ENTJ, I acted too quickly when trying to spread the news of the latest campaign that is launching today. I was quick to jump the starting gun and was asked to rescind my posts to both Facebook and Twitter about it, which I quickly […]
Great news. I was contacted by Heather at NonprofitAlternatives.org after I posted my article linking to her article from my Williteration post, “Deciding on a Nonprofit-focused Master’s Degree Program.” She was impressed with WillHull.com and asked if I would help her to redesign her site. Long story short, I am in the middle of a […]
In relation to a previous post, “Measuring Performance, ROI and The Production Line,” I would like to suggest that you take a moment and read this excellent post from Beth Kanter, “Get Your Social Media Strategy in Shape With Spreadsheet Aerobics.” What is most impressive about this article is the approach she takes to data […]
Today, thanks to Heather Mansfield, who runs the Twitter NonprofitOrgs profile, I came across a great article that I would like to share with you. Entitled, “Setting the Record Straight about Nonprofit-Focused Graduate Degrees” by Nonprofit Leadership 601. This is a great article that explains the subtle differences in nonprofit-focused master’s degree programs. I chose […]
Each election cycle, the League of Conservation Voters (LCV) hosts the Dirty Dozen on their Web site. According to the LCV Web site, “Every election year, LCV’s trademark Dirty Dozen program targets members of Congress — regardless of party affiliation — who consistently vote against the environment… where LCV has a serious chance to affect […]
This week, I started a new position with the Leage of Conservation Voters (LCV) as Manager of Grassroots Advocacy and Online Advocacy. This nonprofit is an environmentally focused nonprofit that has a 501(c)(4), 501(c)(3), PAC and 527 legal recognition. What makes this organization great is that they can name names without jeopardizing their nonprofit status […]
Today marks three complete months of unemployment for me. The average, according to the US Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics is 32.8 weeks. I am only on week 13. Unemployment insurance will only last six months, or 26 weeks. This indicates that unemployment insurance may run out while I seek out gainful employment. […]
