Experienced nonprofit executive looking both for opportunities for employment and to increase my skills to enhance and strengthen those I interact with and for. Looking to share ideas and knowledge on those issues of particular interest and cocnern to me - best practices and meeting expectations of those who funds and regulate the industry.

Yes, it is active. Of course, ALL our groups are active - as soon as members participate! :-)

(But, more seriously, Robert: You'll get better results starting a discussion than in making comments only...)

Is this group active anymore?

I am working with non-profit organizations to help them with a new fundraising idea that will raise a huge amount of money without asking anyone for a dime, that is not labor or time intensive. I would need about 5 minutes of their time. Could you please direct me to the correct person to speak to about putting this plan into action.

It is the holiday season and time is of the essence to take advantage of the oppotunity I will show you.


I spend about $5,000 a year Holiday shopping what if I told you that out of that you would raise about $1,000 for your organization. You'd take it right. It is the simplest plan to put into action, 5 minutes to set up just spread the word to all of your supporters, staff, volunteers, etc. And the money will roll in 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year!

I know your still saying yeah right!! Here's the deal, I own a website that is set up like a mall with links to over 650 major retailers, home depot, toys-r-us, staples, Apple i-tunes. Everytime somebody does their online shopping I get paid a percentage of whatever the spend.

No more begging businesses to donate to you - it's done set up already!
No more trying to find someone to run a website - it's done already!
No more asking people for money they don't have - It comes anyway because they have to buy their necessities.
No more spending endless hours of man power for 3 months for an event that will last 4 hours, a day a weekend even, this is all year long!!

All you will have to do is start telling people about your great idea and giving them your web address, they will help you because it's not costing them a thing. You are just giving them a different door to go through to do what they normally do everyday.

Please contact me if you would like to hear more.

Hi,
I would like to get in touch with all who are interested in the nonprofit sector in India or those who may want to involve themselves in this sector in India.

I am in Mumbai, India and run an organisation which provides capacity building services to the non profit sector in this country. We help small and mid size organisations to become more visible, professional and increase their reach.

Let's have an old fashioned "barn-raising" to rebuild Vincent!

I have an idea on how to raise money quickly for Vincent. It requires 40 golfers who will work together to raise support for themselves to play in a golf marathon. I already have it all set up and we can do this together. We actually could pull this off in a very short time.

When I first told Vincent about the concept he was ecstatic. This was at the end of April. I knew that financially he was struggling at that time but he made it through the end of the month and into May.

We all love Vincent for who he is and how much his encouragement has touched our lives. The outpouring of concern today following his letter is a huge example of how much everyone here cares about Vincent.

On Monday night when I talked to Vincent, I suggested launching the golf tournament to raise funds. I asked Vincent how he felt $75,000 more or less would affect what he was doing in building his network. He said it would certainly help.

I know someone this last week responded to the flurry of Linkedin problems with a question to Vincent about him starting his own network. Vincent replied that if he had a couple of million $$$ he might just do that.

On Monday, I told Vincent that I felt it was perfect timing to let all of us who had been supported through the years by him and his ENCOURAGEMENT now support him and everyone could be part of that support in having the fundraising golf tournament to secure funds for him and his plan to build the network.

He asked that I send him something in writing so that he could read it. He also said that he had an excruciating headache and was going on to bed. We were to talk again on Tuesday night. That never happened. The phone calls and emails that I sent have gone unanswered.

I understand now why they were unanswered. In order to have this golf tournament it would have meant that he was saying he needed help and that was very hard for him to admit.

Will you help with this fundraising? Let's call it an old fashioned "BARN-RAISING" so that we can rebuild Vincent! This was done in all the olden days when a family lost their home to a fire. Vincent has lost not only his home to this fire; he has lost much more than that. Vincent lost his self-respect, his zest for life, his family ties that he cherished so dearly and most of all his feeling that he could create a livelihood for himself. We can join together to rebuild not only his home (a place to live) but also to rebuild the valuable respect he needs by knowing that without his asking for help … we wanted to help him.

Please contact me ASAP if you will be part of this project.

Thank you, Margaret, Jason, and all of the rest of you who today intervened in this crisis.

With much love and concern for my friend,
