Telecommuting is a 21st Century Possibility – Part 2
Wednesday, September 2, 2009
by Jennifer McEnery
Does Telecommuting make sense for you?
What you should consider before proposing to telecommute?
Telecommuting isn’t the same as freelancing. Unlike freelancers, telecommuters work for an organization and not for themselves. Therefore, there are different expectations regarding where, when, and how you work.

Telecommuting is a 21st Century Possibility - Part 1
Wednesday, August 26, 2009
by Jenifer McEnery
Living abroad had long been a goal of mine and my husband. So when he came to me with a proposal to teach English in Budapest for six months, I jumped. (I mean I literally jumped!) I loved my work and, after seven years with my organization, was in a good position with exciting projects. Taking a six-month leave of absence would mean at best losing the benefits associated with my tenure and at worst mean risking the loss of my position.
It seemed as if I would have to choose between my career and fulfilling a personal commitment to my husband and myself.

Cyber Crime Pays a Call
Monday, July 12, 2004
by Hildy Gottlieb
... So the first thought running through my head when we learned of the problem was consternation: "There is a war going on, and my phone is being used to make long illegal calls to countries that are both directly and indirectly involved in that war." It's one thing to feel violated after a crime, but this went beyond that feeling, bringing home to me the fact that regardless of how each of us individually feels about it, the world is in a state of war, and the tools of war and espionage have absolutely changed.

New Online Tools Transform How Nonprofits Reach, Motivate and Retain Advocates
Monday, April 5, 2004
by Vinay Bhagat
The primary goal of advocacy is to drive positive change in support of an organization's mission. This change may involve impacting legislation, securing funding or affecting a corporate policy. Grassroots advocacy involves influencing large groups of people to agree with an opinion or objective and getting them to help influence policy makers through media coverage, personal contact, phone calls and letters.

Distributed Campaigns: A View of the Digital Campaign of the Future
Tuesday, March 23, 2004
by Ryan W. Ozimek
A key takeaway for e-philanthropists from the Dean experiment is the following: Dean brought in more than $4 million in contributions via the Internet from donors averaging only $75 per contribution, in just a few months. This didn't happen by chance. Instead, this came from thoughtful preparation and construction of a distributed network of individuals who rose from the grassroots, and who believed they could help create change from the bottom-up, not the top-down. This idea that technology can provide a framework that provides information flow to be decentralized is called 'distributed campaigning'

As I was watching the results of the recent Democratic political primaries, I realized that as a fund raiser/consultant operating in the not for profit non-political arena that I needed to learn a completely new vocabulary in order to be successful.

by Amie Michaelek
Donor data management... the bane of nonprofit existence for many of us. How on earth are we supposed keep up with endless amounts of data clean-up, much less data entry, on top of our busy multi-faceted positions that keep us moving in five different directions at once?

The Good, the Bad, the Ambiguous: A Look at Technical Standards
Monday, December 1, 2003
by Jude Higdon and Celisa Steele
Technical standards are everywhere these days -- and it's not hard to understand why. Standards are useful: They provide a context for development, they create a shared language that facilitates discussion, and they provide guidelines for evaluating work. But standards can also stifle creativity by defining an issue narrowly or become dangerous by unnecessarily limiting the ways we approach a topic.
