World Vision Responds to Tsunami

World Vision is one of the charities that has responded immediately to help disaster victims in this tragedy:

This excert comes from a recent e-mail update from World Vision

"In the past 11 days, World Vision has been carrying out organized and orderly distributions of survival packets containing food, clothing, bottled water, medicines, sleeping mats and other essential household items from buckets to pots and pans. We have also been caring for children who are separated from their parents, perhaps orphaned by this disaster."

I'm kicking off the new year by offering a completely revised 2nd Edition of the
e-book "The 5 Keys to Successful Fundraising."



So what's new in this edition?

These 5 Keys are in a sequential order beginning with the foundation that every fundraiser MUST have. Next you'll find out about the three types of fundraisers, how to organize your program and how to ENSURE a succesful outcome.

The other major addition is questions for reflection in every chapter. That's why this e-book is more like a workbook. It can also be used in a group setting to help
generate discussions among your fundraising team.

Corporate Donations for Tsunami Relief

Many corporations and businesses are donating funds to aid in the tsunami relief efforts.

Corporations give to tsunami relief - From planes to pills, the world's largest companies offer millions in cash, donations and services

One of the best ways businesses can help is to match employee contributions. Each gift made by an employee is matched dollar for dollar by the company.

Many companies already have a gift matching program in place. If you plan on making a donation to the relief efforts, check with your company first so that your donation can go even farther.

If you own or are in a leadership position of a business and would like to find out how your company can set up its own employee matching program, see the following article from onPhilanthropy:
