Global Health Frontiers: Dark Forest, Black Fly
Upcoming Broadcasts:
Duration: 56:46 STEREO TVPG (Secondary audio: none)
In poor, remote communities across Africa, parasitic worms transmitted by small black flies infect millions. The resulting river blindness torments sufferers with intense itching, and eventually robs them of their sight. This documentary travels to the front lines of Uganda's fight to eradicate this devastating disease. Narrated by Mia Farrow, it highlights the field work and insights of scientists, health professionals and humanitarians, including former President Jimmy Carter, committed to combating river blindness.

How are you feeling (comfort wise) at halfway point of pregnancy?

I guess I do have one complaint- my feet fall asleep so much easier these days! I usually put one foot under my other leg (I know, it's a terrible habit) and half the time I get up to realize my foot is asleep!

I feel pretty good actually, its nice to finally say that. The nausea for the most part has worn off but I still get days where I can't stand it. I'm not huge either, although my belly is definitely starting to get in the way of how I do things. I can only bend at the legs to pick something up off the floor. Bending at my waist isn't happening anymore. Sleep is ok, I toss and turn but I actually feel MORE rested on less sleep. It would be nice if that carried through when I'll be going on no sleep with a newborn. I think at this point I'm just getting anxious and impatient. I love love love being pregnant honestly, but I can't wait to see my little girl at the same time, and I'm so curious whether she'll cooperate and be head down or another breech baby. And we won't know that until the end so its just a waiting game. So much to look forward to, just stinks having to wait lol

The terrace of the apartment Madonna del Monti 6 was excellent. Everything was within walking distance. The size of the apartment was just enough for two people.
Bathroom and toilet are in a poor condition. The mold is visible and can be smelled.
Location was good as it was close to many venues. The rooftop garden was a nice feature and gave the feeling of extra space
The location was right in the middle of a number of bars and restaurants and the noise that traveled up the walls made it very difficult to sleep until after 2 am. The bed was one of the worst we have ever had to endure. An old, compressed futon, it felt like we were sleeping on a board. The extra pillow for the third person in the room was like a left over sandbag from WWII.
Excelent apartament on Via del Boschetto, yet not well enough advertised onyour website. We were surprised with all the things we found there that weren t mentioned, like hair dryer, iron, dishwaser. It looks better than the pictures, the neigborhood is really nice.
That we only had one set of keys for 4 people.
Very good location of the apartment and nice to have the roof terrace to enjoy the view of Rome from the top.
The apartment is marked as a luxury apartment, but this is not the case anymore. Many guest have been here and this is visible all over. The toilet was not working properly (but was fixed fast) and the hot water was coming on/off.
The location was perfect. The apartment itself was nice as well, however the roof terrace wasn't attached to the apartment (as expected). The manager was friendly and helpful. The apartment was quite well equipped, pretty much everything you need in the kitchen was there etc. The location was very central, nice restaurants and little shops around. Close to Colosseum. A big plus for the kids chanel on TV. On the day of departure we could leave our suitcases in the apartment for a few hours after the check out, that was a nice bonus.
The keyholder who came to meet us at the apartment was very nervous and not professional at all. It turned out that she had never been in the apartment before. The roof terrace was on the upper floor, we were not provided a key for it, and we had to knock on the neighbour's doors to have the door opened for the terrace. The terrace was quite dirty, although the view was stunning.. About 100 steps to climb up to the apartment, not great with when travelling with the kid.. I did know in advance, that there is no elevator, next time I won't think it doesn't matter. The bathroom was a bit filthy, especially shower. The shower curtain was molded and the drain was blocked. A little bit of work in the bathroom would be needed. We had booked for 3+1, however the beds were made only for two. When I asked about this from the keyholder, she popped up the sofa bed and threw a couple of pillows on the (very narrow) leather sofa, "there you go!!" Eventually we got all the needed bed linen, however in my opinion the beds should have been ready already when we got there. Despite we had a few problems with the keyholder and the terrace stuff was a bit disappointing as well, we enjoyed our stay after all..
location,clean and comfortable
The apartment is very centrally located - Monti is charming. Local shops are on the doorstep, also bars and restaurants. The kitchen is very well equipped if you wish to ccok. There are two bedrooms and two bathrooms and a spacious living space. We loved it!
The location of the apartments was excellent, easy access to metros and in a great neighborhood. T
At the Madonna del Monti 6 apartment the apartment was comfortable but the bathroom was unacceptable. There are mold issues in the shower that need to be addressed, and the toilet stopped functioning during our stay. This was most inconvenient.
The apartment was in an excellent location to walk or use public transport to all the sites. Plenty of space for us all. Helpful staff. Thank you
The kitchen was a bit short on space and we had trouble flushing the toilet throughout the stay
Great location for access to everything
Very noises square, hangout for drinking around fountain
Good space
Poor clean
next to the Colosseum, 2 minutes to the metro, terrace
looks like the owner just left the apartment, shower was broken (didn't fix it 'till the next day; gave us a bottle of wine as compensation), not clean, mold in the bathroom
Location, close to Termini Station, buses, many attractions within walking distance. (we are good walkers)
Small shower with awkward curtain.
The apartment is well decorated, with fantastic location and view. Both lift and Wifi in fact are available.
Detailed needs of guests,according to how long they stay in the apartment, fail to be considered by the staff , such as toilet paper.
The location is very good. It is easy to move around just walking. There are various options for food in the area and many grocery stores. The house is very spacious, which is nice traveling with kids (and grandparents as well!).
The shower is full of mould; the bath tub cannot be used for shower as it has no curtains. It would be nice to have few more clean towels available - we were there for 4 days and did not want to do laundry. Also there is no place to hang used/wet towels to let them dry - which makes using them for multiple days more complicated. The kitchen could be a bit better furnished: there was only 1 towel for the dishes and the coffee pot was very old and broke the second day (the handle actually broke) which made it difficult to use afterwards. It would be nice to have wireless in the house.
The location and security of the premises. It was really quiet and easy walking to everything.
They swapped us from the apartment that we had chosen and booked and emailed 1 week before to advise us. We had no options. They charged us twice for the accommodation, didn't advise us and took 5 days to respond to emails and phone calls. We eventually got a refund 10 days later but paid an additional €60 in bank fees. Customer service was terrible.
The location and views were fantastic.
The bathroom was very outdated and the shower had a continuous drip.
Location, roof terrace, space. Quality of accommodation was good but not outstanding.
Sofabed was too small for two people really. Apartment was a bit expensive for what it was I felt.
Excellent location. Spacious sitting room. Good supply of books.
We were on the top (fourth) floor; there was no lift. We were not told of this until the deposit had been taken. Very small bedroom. The shower cubicle was mouldy. I would not call this a luxury apartment, certainly not for the money charged. We had to wait a long time outside the apartment before we were met and let in.
We stayed in apartment on Piazza del Grillo 10. Good location, we liked the apartment very much, nice balcony with a view and sunshine! Comfortable beds, nice bathroom.
Location.. amazing views of Rome. Highly recommended, very good value for money.
Shower not really perfect but location and breathtaking views of Rome were more than enough to forget about the little imperfections
The apartment is located on quiet street (via Leonina), and is designed in traditional Italian style. It has a big terrace with the view on S. Maria ai Monti church, which is ideal for taking food thanks to big table and awning. There are two bathrooms, kitchen with gas and lots of plates and dishes, Wi-Fi. Cavour metro station is just a couple minutes away, Coliseum can be reached by foot in 10-15 minutes.
There is no kettle. Door-locks require some practice to be used easily.
The apartment was beautiful. The view was stunning. It was in a great location. There were tons of restaurants and shopping with in walking distance.
Both beds in the apartment were uncomfortable. The shower never stopped dripping and the water pressure was terrible.
I liked the location, and the flat.
The personal was awfull , we have to wait 2 hs untill be in the flat ( one hour the girl who was in charge to open the door she wasn't there) another hour she doesn't have the right key . She was very rude. There wasn't microwave. We didn't have Internet for one and a half day

Strategies to turn supporters into fundraisers for #GivingTuesday, and beyond.
Filed under: Crowdfunding • Giving Days • Social Media •
#GivingTuesday – what for many will be the launch of the December giving season – is now just 7 weeks away. Gulp.
Your year-end campaigns are just about ready to go, but making the most of December is probably in the back of your mind all the time. Perhaps you're asking yourself if there is anything else you can put into motion today that can move the needle at year end.
Yes! Try a peer fundraising campaign.
The Power of Peer Fundraising
Social, Personal, P2P or team fundraising are all names for the same concept: harnessing the power of your supporters and their networks to scale your impact.
At their best, peer fundraising campaigns center around a passionate desire to make an impact on a problem or cause, and then "recruit" supporters based on a shared interest in the cause or in honor of the friendship with the original project sponsor.
Once in a while, peer fundraising campaigns catch fire. That was the case this summer with the Ice Bucket challenge. It started when 29 year-old Pete Frates, stricken with ALS, sought to bring attention to the disease, and to inspire others to support research toward a cure. He challenged friends to dump ice on their heads, and Pete's network sparked into action. His friends took the challenge and in weeks it was everywhere on social media.
From June to August, more than 3 million donors gave more than $100 million dollars to the ALS Association.
Your superheroes – no cape required.
Campaigns like the Ice Bucket challenge are the exception for sure, but their lessons are transferable to every peer fundraising initiative. They're effective because supporters, who often reside in the background of your fundraising, move front and center, and become the heroes of the story. We want to root for their success.
And when combined with a few key elements, peer fundraising leverages your team's limited resources, spreads your story, and attracts new supporters.
What does It take? Sponsors with genuine passion for your cause, plus…
· A little creativity
· An authentic need
· A personal appeal
· Social sharing
Make it easy for peer fundraisers
Empower your supporters to get going, now.
1. Suggest a theme and goal for your supporters. Use your #GivingTuesday campaign to frame a peer-to-peer campaign that is appealing and easy to launch for your supporters. If you're still lacking a focus for year-end, here is a post that can help you plan a great campaign. Then break your campaign into a target for your peer fundraisers in $500-$1000 range.
2. Make it fun! Encourage your peer fundraisers to focus on opportunity, not obligation, in their outreach to friends and family. Give them tools to keep the excitement high with regular email updates tracking the progress of the campaign.
3. Focus on impact. Be sure that fundraisers and their supporters understand how their dollars will impact those you serve, specifically.
4. Keep it short: a month or less. Use the excitement of #GivingTuesday to keep momentum high and the time commitment low for your peer fundraisers. A timeframe of about a month is just about right. Encourage your fundraisers to launch on November 1st, build excitement toward Thanksgiving and end on December 2.
Make P2P work for you: three paths to success.
1. For small or leanly staffed organizations: Start where you are.
The simplest way to start a peer fundraising campaign is to focus on the tools you already have. You have your inspiring mission, more than a few enthusiastic supporters (think staff, board, volunteers, clients), and services that need support. Define a campaign, enlist peer fundraisers, educate them on the basics above, and let them run with it.
Then, optimize your online giving page with proven software, like DonateNow. With DonateNow, your site will be branded, mobile-ready, and easy for your donors to navigate.
Then simply provide your fundraisers with sample emails, or let them create their own, and drive people to your main online giving page. Ask them to acknowledge the fundraiser they're supporting in your dedication field.
This is not the most sophisticated method, but a functional, quick-to-launch approach.
And organizations using DonateNow for #GivingTuesday will automatically receive matching funds!
2. For organizations with more staff capacity: take advantage of a P2P platform.
Nonprofits can set up a campaign by creating a "team" page on a peer-to-peer giving platform. Check out our partner site, CrowdRise, the best P2P site out there!
With CrowdRise, you can create a page with your colors and logo and enable your peer fundraisers to set up sub-pages for their individual campaigns. They'll be able to set an individual goal, see their progress, donor scrolls, and where they stand relative to other fundraisers. Here's an example.
You can create challenges and competitions among team members that add an extra fun element to the campaign. And you'll see the overall results of everyone's fundraising with clean, comprehensive reports.
You can then manage the messaging, the updates, and progress of the campaign. This approach is a great way to give your staff greater control of the whole initiative while also making it easy for your fundraisers to get their pages set up and launched.
CrowdRise will also be holding its Epic Annual Holiday Challenge, including a major campaign on #GivingTuesday, to be revealed soon!
3. For larger organizations or those planning to use peer fundraising as an ongoing strategy: have your own P2P site.
Some organizations are naturally suited to peer and project-based fundraising. These include animal support, disaster relief, schools, health care, disease, and many others. Organizations like these can equip themselves to host peer fundraising and crowdfunding campaigns all year round with GiveCorps, our private label peer fundraising platform.
With GiveCorps, not only can you run a great #GivingTuesday P2P campaign, but you can do race fundraising, birthday fundraisers, crowdfunding campaigns, project based fundraising, and annual giving campaigns.
A GiveCorps site is yours, closely mirroring the look and feel of your main website. Take a look at how the Community Coalition for Haiti uses GiveCorps for personal and project-based fundraisers.

You can do it! Goal setting for #GivingTuesday
Filed under: Giving Days •
Party on!
If you're a fundraiser, you're seeing news about #GivingTuesday everywhere.
And the buzz is for good reason - #GivingTuesday is not only the launch of the giving season, but has become an international celebration of generosity. And your donors, prospects, staff and volunteers are likely to be hearing a lot about the big day – from you or someone. So, it's time to solidify your #GivingTuesday plans.
GivingTuesday, when done well, can have all the excitement and engagement of a great party, while building awareness and donations for your cause. It can also carry good feelings forward through the December giving season to boost your overall year-end fundraising efforts.
What will make it a great day?
Like a great party, the secrets to #GivingTuesday success combine great planning with a little magic. And like a party theme, your campaign goal is the part of the plan from which everything else stems.
If you ran a #GivingTuesday campaign last year, you have a benchmark against which to think about 2014. If you're in your first year, setting goals will be an educated best guess. Achieving your first year goal is where the (Planning + Luck) = Success equation comes in.
Dollars are likely to be one of the key elements you measure, but it doesn't need to be your only goal. These are a few goals to consider instead of, or in addition to, funds raised:
· Number of donors
· Number of new donors
· Number of volunteers/hours (if you are including an activity)
· Number of recurring donors
· % Participation among key groups – like staff
Build a pyramid
Even if you don't have prior experience with #GivingTuesday, you can do some predictive planning around logical paths to your goals.
Giving pyramids are a simple way to add a quantitative element to planning your dollar goal. They let you sanity check your goal by putting it on paper, rather than just guessing.
How do you build a giving pyramid? Let's take one example: Your nonprofit would like to raise $50,000 on #GivingTuesday. If you're a small nonprofit, just eliminate zeroes from this example.
Here is one illustration of how to predict a path to success with a giving pyramid:
· $50,000 Goal
· 8,500 donors in data file
· 255 Donors if you achieve 3% participation (and you'll definitely attract new donors too, so this should be a safe bet)
So how might this set up in a giving pyramid?
Now create your own giving pyramid and think it through. If it feels ambitious but achievable, then it is a great place to start with a first year goal. If it seems too easy to achieve, boost the dollar amount. Too much of a stretch? Dial back.
Leverage with matching funds
One of the most powerful tools on #GivingTuesday is matching funds. Consider identifying a lead donor for your #GivingTuesday campaign who is willing to donate marketing fuel to your campaign engine, with matching funds.
Even a small amount of matching fund dollars can provide significant benefit to a campaign. If you can raise as little as 5% - 10% of your total fundraising goal in matching funds, there are simple but effective ways to use this to amplify your campaign.
These are a few ways to deploy the dollars effectively:
· Match a % of dollar raised up to the amount of matching funds you have. So if you have $5,000 against a $50,000 goal, match $1 for every $10 raised until you reach your goal.
· Match the first gifts every hour up to an hourly amount. So, if you have $10,000 in matching funds, match the first $1,000 each hour for the busiest ten hours of the day.
· Match only gifts up to a certain amount. If one of your goals is number of donors, rather than just dollars, cap your matching funds at $100 or another amount that reflects your likely average gift.
· Match gifts that further other objectives, like donors that set up recurring gifts. In this instance, consider doing a bonus match for a monthly donation, since these are an organization's most engaged supporters over time.
Your goal will be one of the most visible anchors of your #GivingTuesday campaign, so make it a motivator. It should be big and meaningful enough to get people excited to work hard. If it's too attainable, it will feel like just another day at the office, and it will be hard to motivate your team.
Everything you do for the next eight weeks depends on motivation and focus; set that goal today, and start planning your giving party on December 2nd!

Announcing N4G Gives, Network for Good's campaign for #GivingTuesday 2014
Filed under: Crowdfunding • Giving Days •
Resources, Training, and $100,000 in matching funds for the Network for Good community.
Proud partners in the #GivingTuesday Movement
In 2012, a group of visionary nonprofit leaders at 92Y and the UN Foundation had an idea: to take back the giving season after the shopping binge of Black Friday and CyberMonday. With little flourish, they announced the first #GivingTuesday, to take place the Tuesday after Thanksgiving.
And from day one, the extraordinary goodness of the idea caught fire. Turns out, lots of people were clamoring for a December that meant something more than a new TV, toy, or necktie.
Today #GivingTuesday is an authentic international movement, with generous citizens and nonprofit organizations of all sizes – all around the world – joining in.
At Network for Good, we're passionate about #GivingTuesday, as a celebration of generosity, and as a movement to make the holidays a true season of giving.
Announcing N4G Gives: Network for Good's campaign for #GivingTuesday
With the growing importance of #GivingTuesday, we're excited to announce N4G Gives, a special campaign to unleash generosity on #GivingTuesday 2014. We're offering a combination of free and 'for-clients-only' resources to arm small and medium nonprofits with the best guidance and tools available to get ready for #GivingTuesday.
True to our mission, we're providing ALL nonprofits with free tools, tactics, training and motivation to make this the best December ever.
And for Network for Good clients, we're also offering:
- $100,000 in Matching funds from the Network for Good Generosity Fund, to make #GivingTuesday donations go further.
- Visibility with Network for Good donors for featured nonprofits
- Exclusive toolkits, expert webinars, specialized coaching and communications resources.
- Two great platforms:
- Direct Service: If you serve 500 people a year with a $1 million budget, frame your annual fund around the $2000 it takes to serve each client. You can also break it down into smaller chunks like funding 3 months of services for $500. Then build a story around an inspiring client that exemplifies your work.
- Advocacy: As an advocate for a cause, frame your annual fund ask around the number of people you reach each year with your message. So if you are an education advocacy organization trying to improve classroom performance, how many students lives will be changed by the policies you seek to enact? Bring this to life with the story of a student whose attendance rate – and grades - increased because of your work.
- Arts and Culture: If you are a cultural organization, like a museum or zoo, consider annual fund outreach around how many visitors you have in a year or how much it costs to care for the average animal each day. Build a story about a young artist who found her inspiration after seeing your collection.
- Place-Based: Urban, environmental, or organizations with a physical campus can structure annual fund asks around the square feet/miles of the area you focus on, or the number of people in your catchment area. One of the most creative campaigns we've seen was from Calvin College, who used this approach with great success.
- Staff
- Board
- Clients, participants, or alumni
- Volunteers
- Committed Donors and other potential Ambassadors
DonateNow – smart and proven effective donation pages, with built-in coaching and expertise, that compel donors to give – all while eliminating the work of managing online payments.
GiveCorps – a crowdfunding and project-based fundraising platform that attracts more donors and empowers your supporters to raise money and share your mission through their own stories.
Equipping the small guys for success
We're making this exceptional commitment this year because we've closely followed the #GivingTuesday movement and watched how large nonprofits have fully incorporated it into their marketing and year-end fundraising calendars.
With N4G Gives, we want to level the playing field by equipping small and medium nonprofits around the country with the best guidance possible to make #GivingTuesday the beginning of a great giving season.
The N4G Gives campaign is part of our overall commitment to help nonprofits advance their work, not only through milestone events like #GivingTuesday, but all year round through our work to help them build capacity, sustainable funding, and donor retention.
Experience to drive results
The expertise Network for Good brings to the #GivingTuesday campaign for small and medium nonprofits is unparalleled. It comes from being the largest online giving platform in the country, with more than 10,000 nonprofits using our services today. We've raised more than $1 Billion for nonprofits, and have participated in #GivingTuesday since it launched.
And, we were the leaders of the BMoreGivesMore campaign that raised $5.7 million on #GivingTuesday 2013. The BMoreGivesMore campaign was the second largest #GivingTuesday initiative ever, and earned Baltimore the title of the #mostgenerouscity in America.
It's all about you
While the big numbers validate our experience, this campaign is all about you—the nonprofits that are caring for the needy, curing the sick, advocating for the voiceless, and championing a healthy environment.
You're the reason we do what we do. You're the real warriors in the battle for a more compassionate and generous community.
We hope that N4G Gives makes your work a little easier and makes your impact even greater.
Ready to get started on your #GivingTuesday campaign?

How to strengthen your nonprofit from the inside out
Filed under: Nonprofit leadership •
An organization's ability to accomplish its mission is only as strong as the organization's infrastructure. As you fight to make the world a better place, how do you make sure you're providing a nonprofit workplace that fosters fairness and complies with the necessary rules and regulations? I recently had a chance to catch up with the Aina Gutierrez, author of Walking the Walk: A Values Centered Approach to Building a Strong Non-Profitand Deputy Director of Interfaith Worker Justice. Her new book is an easily digestible, yet comprehensive, practical guide to organizing and improving internal operations and finances.
NFG: What drove you to write this handbook?
Aina Gutierrez: The national nonprofit I work for, Interfaith Worker Justice, has a network of more than 40 affiliates that are small organizations with less than 10 staff. Part of my job in the last twelve years has been to train these groups on the subjects outlined in the book (office administration, fundraising, financial management, board development and human resources).
There were two trends I saw in talking to these groups and other small nonprofits I've been involved with. The first is that most small groups struggle with these "back office" issues because there were few training resources and materials for those that juggle multiple roles and don't have the time (nor passion!) around building systems and procedures. And yet, many of them were really struggling with personnel issues and managing their budgets. It caused many staff and board leaders stress and burnout.
The second is that many of the policies and procedures of small nonprofits don't seem to reflect the values that the organizations espouse in their programmatic work. A number of staff work for low pay and few benefits. Most small organizations don't have access to constructive feedback or support. I felt strongly about the need to reflect the organization's values in the way it operates, and that a written resource might be the best way to do that.
NFG: The book is geared toward small nonprofits with fewer than 10 employees. We work with many organizations who also have volunteer "staff" or staff members who are running their nonprofits on the side? Can you share some advice for those situations?
AG: Sure. It's pretty amazing, but the smallest nonprofit isn't that much less complicated to run than a more established organization. Both have boards, raise money, file government forms and have policies.
This can be tricky for groups without paid staff, or with part-time staff. There's never enough money or time to accomplish everything.
NFG: Can you share some advice for those situations?
AG: So I would recommend that your readers do a quick assessment of each area outlined in the book and highlight parts that seem important to the organization that are missing. The book has chapters on staff, board, office systems and management, government requirements, finance, and fund development. And just start working on it, bit by bit. Include a few tasks in the organization's workplan, or find a board member or two that are willing to help. There's a lot of information online and from allied organizations that can be easily adapted and used for small nonprofits. It's really just being aware of the back office work that needs to be done and doing a little bit at a time.
NFG: There's an entire section on building and managing your board. We hear from many nonprofits who struggle with this relationship. Why do you think this is often such a difficult piece of the puzzle?
AG: I think any institution made up of passionate people who bring with them varying ideas and perspectives will not be without its share of internal struggles. An organization's board is no different. Managing the board can be very rewarding, but it can also be frustrating at times.. And, as staff, it can sometimes feel like its not worth the time and energy to build a strong board, so it falls by the wayside.
But, it is worth it. The key is to continue to recruit and develop leaders that care about the organization and have something wonderful to contribute to its success. If someone doesn't have a skill set or experience to help, or creates a lot of drama, or brings a different agenda to the table, or doesn't want to do any work – that person shouldn't be on the board. It can be time consuming to recruit and keep the right people for the job, but a small group of people that really connect and are willing to work can help build the organization in some really incredible ways.
NFG: What are some of the challenges you've observed in nonprofits who don't have strong administrative systems?
AG: Oh goodness, there are so many stories. Every nonprofit I've worked with has at least one horrible story that cost a lot of time, energy and usually money to fix. I certainly have made plenty of own mistakes in this area!
The biggest challenge with organizations that don't have strong systems is that it's not an efficient way to operate. Pulling together a 300 person mailing shouldn't be an all day job. But if your database is disorganized, the printer jams the envelopes, and you have to run to the post office to buy stamps, it can take hours. It impacts the important work that the group should be doing. And its super frustrating for the staff!
Having weak systems can also cost a lot of money. I've worked with a number of groups that miss government filing deadlines and have to pay late fees. Or groups that order office supplies last minute and pay expensive overnight shipping for a meeting. Or, groups that miss grant deadlines because there are not good tracking systems for applications or reports. These things all cost the organization a lot of money, and there often isn't money to go around.
NFG: What are the payoffs for getting it right?
AG: One of the biggest rewards of those with good administrative systems is that they are able to engage more people in their work. Organizations that are able to efficiently communicate with their constituents and potential supporters via email or direct mail are more likely to receive more donations and support than those that don't communicate. Donors that are assured the organization is run well will continue to give and often give more. Board members that are better connected or informed about the work will more likely be better engaged and provide more help.
Having good administrative systems is really the backbone of any strong nonprofit organization. It has a direct impact on its programmatic work and financial viability.
NFG: This book is obviously a great guide for emerging organizations, can established nonprofits learn a trick or two as well? Should these organizations re-assess their processes? How often?
AG: Yes, definitely. I encourage readers of more established groups to first review the policies and practices outlined in the book and make sure they have similar structures in place. Second, take a look at their own policies through a values-centered lens and see if there are areas that don't reflect the organization's values. And third, consider if its time to update a few things. For example, my organization recently looked at our healthcare plan to see if we should try the state-based exchange through the Affordable Care Act. It didn't make sense for us to change right now, but it is likely something that will impact our healthcare benefits in the future. Even long time organizations should try and keep up on policy changes that could benefit small nonprofits.
All organizations should look at the administrative and financial progress made every year. Don't look at everything, but when the organization is making its annual goals and objectives, it should include some work on internal policies and procedures. Incorporate this work incrementally into the organization's board and staff and new things will be done every year. Progress is something to feel good about!
Thanks to Aina for her insight and for providing a handy guide to policies and processes that can sometimes feel daunting. For more tips and insight, check out Walking the Walk: A Values Centered Approach to Building a Strong Non-Profit.

Creating the perfect campaign for #GivingTuesday
Filed under: Giving Days • Marketing essentials •
The time is…NOW.
With year-end quickly approaching, and #GivingTuesday just ten weeks away, we're hurtling toward the giving season. It's that generous time of year that fundraisers count on to be sure that they are well positioned—and well funded—to fulfill their missions for another year.
Now is the time to solidify your #GivingTuesday campaign focus. Whether you are planning to raise money for a project or for general operations, creativity and communications can be the difference between a good and a great campaign.
Break new ground with #GivingTuesday, but don't forget the basics.
Annual giving is rapidly growing online. And today's digital donors are the lifeblood of your organization's success in the long haul.
Traditional year-end annual giving campaigns use personal solicitation, direct mail, email and phone calls to raise unrestricted donations.
The high visibility of #GivingTuesday, combined with some creative thinking about the focus of your campaign, can be a powerful tool for building unrestricted giving also – it just requires a shift in thinking.
Start by structuring a Clear, Compelling Campaign
Great online fundraising is just great fundraising. In a recent e-book, Joe Garecht, the Fundraising Authority, makes this point well:
"Online fundraising mirrors offline fundraising… and in all fundraising, you have to make asks. This means that if you want people to spread the word about your online campaign, you have to ask them to – specifically and concretely."
Even if you don't want to fundraise for a specific project, like money to fund 20 instruments for a new school band, it's still wise to 'project-ize' your asks so they resonate with online supporters.
Step One: "Make me feel like I matter."
Every program and activity in a nonprofit can be reframed as a "project" that contributes to your mission, so donors can understand exactly why you need their support.
Here are examples of how to reframe your ask into inspiring projects, for different kinds of nonprofits:
Another effective example: a local clean streams organization serves a series of streams that are five miles long. They need to raise just over $1 million each year. We recommended creating a campaign around providing support for a yard of the stream. The math was easy: $1,100,000/8800 yards = $125 per yard of the stream. This kind of creative thinking repositioned their annual fund for success.
Why frame your outreach this way? Because at its core, your organization is about changing lives, and this needs to be made real and tangible.
In a recent post, Hilborn Consultants said it well "Donors…are feeling and living the giving experience. They want to save lives, make a difference, change the world. Donors give because they care, or have been moved or inspired in some way. How much they give, how often they give, whether they give just once or for the long term mostly comes down to how they feel about your cause and how they feel about the experience they're having as donors."
Step Two: Start NOW to build a campaign, not just a one-shot outreach.
So with a strong, inspiring project idea now in the works, it's time to build your campaign. At their core, every campaign is about moving people to action – getting them to give.
It takes planning, a strong leader and capable execution to achieve your goals.
But how do you get your campaign going with everything else on your plate? Start at the beginning.
Here are 6 simple steps to get you started.
The Big Six
#1: Set a big goal — Your goal will be one of the most visible anchors of your #GivingTuesday campaign, so make it a motivator. The goal should be big and meaningful enough to get people excited to work hard. If it's too attainable, it will feel like just another day at the office, and it will be hard to motivate your team.
Your goal will likely include a fundraising target, but it can also include other important metrics:
· Number of donors, number of new donors
· Number of donors that set up a recurring gift (we love this as a focus for #GivingTuesday
· Number of volunteers that participate in an activity
· Participation (for orgs with an alumni base)
#2: Convene a passionate team and active advocates — The most important person on your Giving Day team is the leader, the quarterback of the day, who leads the team from planning to execution to evaluation. Identify the passionate quarterback and then focus on engaging the key thought leaders - and loudest voices – among five key groups:
Engaged individuals from each of these groups will form the heart of your Giving Day team – and will largely determine your success. Make them insiders. Share your strategy, goals, and make sure they have really internalized the project you have defined. Help them find their passionate voice, so they are as excited to be part of this as you are.
#3: Create a unified, branded theme — In addition to your well-defined project, your #GivingTuesday campaign should stand out from your everyday marketing. At a minimum, tie into #GivingTuesday's or Network for Good's branding and marketing tools. Make use of their assets to associate your organization with the campaign, visually and thematically.
Or even better, if you have access to a graphic artist, or a creative streak yourself, create your own branded identity to put on all of your campaign materials, posts, and schwag. Use photoshop or a free tool like Canva.com to incorporate your colors or symbols into a GivingTuesday logo, all your own. Here are some great examples:
#4: Use your project/theme to create quality content and 'drip' it out — To help spread the word and sustain momentum leading up to #GivingTuesday, share your goals and project stories in a weekly "drip." Create compelling, easy-to-share content for your ambassadors, and keep them engaged with new content each week, on a predictable day. Think tactically about how to include ready-to-use hashtags, Facebook posts and images, tweets, email copy, campaign logo, campaign-related photos, infographics, "Top 10 lists" and links to other engaging content.
#5: Gamify it! — Make the process fun for your ambassadors by creating engaging and rewarding incentives to participate. The most powerful tool on #GivingTuesday is matching funds, but there are other great ways to raise the excitement level – and make donors feel like they are part of something bigger than their own gift.
Special goals like challenges for new donors, most social posts, etc. add a level of engagement. If you have an active client or volunteer base, encourage supporters to set up fundraising teams to compete against each other for the most raised.
Gamification provides fun and engagement, and even more fodder for content creation and social sharing surrounding your #GivingTuesday.
#6 Get your online giving process in shape. When you've invested your time and passion into creating, coordinating and communicating your #GivingTuesday campaign, donors will beating down your digital doors. Be sure you make your digital experience welcoming and easy to move through. You don't want to lose a single donor that reaches your site because they…
• Can't find your donate button
• Feel it takes too long to donate
• Feel like you are asking for too much information
• Don't associate your giving page with the campaign

Teen to plead guilty to killing Milan, Indiana woman
MILAN, Ind. -- A 16-year-old boy is expected to plead guilty Tuesday to killing a 68-year-old woman during a robbery in Indiana.
State police say the teenager is one of three people responsible for the death of Nancy Hershman, 68, on Dec. 30, 2012 during a robbery at her Milan, Ind. home. Hershman was shot and killed during a struggle for a gun.
The teen was arrested along with Allison Moore, 22, and a second 16-year-old in their Colerain Township home on Jan. 5, 2013 by investigators with Indiana State Police along with assistance from the Colerain Township Police Department.

FDA Probes Docs Over da Vinci Robot Problems
"Surgeons and patients around the world have found da Vinci surgery to be safe and effective minimally invasive treatment option for a range of complex conditions," Intuitive has stated. "In fact, roughly 3,000 peer-reviewed studies have been published demonstrating the clinical effectiveness of da Vinci surgery."
>>>View ECRI slideshow
The Massachusetts Board of Registration in Medicine issued an advisory to physicians last month after finding increasing complications in robot-assisted surgeries. The board outlined steps that should be used to properly use the robot, including proper quality, safety and credentialing measures.
"As with any new technology, care should be taken that protocols are in place to ensure appropriate patient selection, and the full explanation of risks and benefits for all surgical options," it adds. Board officials did not respond for interview requests.
A significant concern involves lack of adequate training of physicians in handling of the robot. "How does the procedure present itself? The robot plays a supporting role in that," Thomas Skorup, FACHE, VP for the ECRI Institute, a non-profit that researches safety, quality and cost-effectiveness of patient care, told me in a recent conversation about the issue.
"How many 'at bats' are these surgeons getting to keep up their proficiency level at the appropriate level?" Skorup asks, referring to training of physicians in the use of the robot. "The safety issue is a key," he says. "There's a strong correlation, in my mind, to the proficiency and training of physicians."

BMC Public Health 2013, 13:794 doi:10.1186/1471-2458-13-794Published: 31 August 2013
The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence and correlates of physical activity counseling among physicians and nurses working in primary health care in Brazil.
A phone survey was carried out in 2011 with professionals working in primary health care in Brazil. The target sample consisted of 1,600 randomly selected primary care units covering all regions of the country. We successfully interviewed 529 professionals within the sampled units; 182 physicians and 347 nurses. The overall response rate was 49.6%. Multivariable logistic regression was used to estimate correlates of counseling in the whole sample and separately for physicians and nurses.
The prevalence of regular physical activity counseling for at least six months was 68.9% (95% CI 64.9; 72.8) and was significantly higher among physicians compared to nurses (p < 0.05). Most professionals (93.2%) interviewed were unfamiliar with current physical activity recommendations for health. In the adjusted analysis, physical activity counseling was more frequent among those who report assessing patient's physical activity (OR = 2.16; 95% CI 1.41; 3.29), those reporting that lack of time was not a barrier for counseling (OR = 0.62 95% CI 0.42-0.93), those who felt prepared to provide physical activity counseling (OR = 2.34; 95% CI 1.50-3.66), and those working at primary care units offering physical activity programs for patients (OR = 2.06; 95% CI 1.33-3.20). In the stratified analysis, only assessing patient's physical activity was a significant correlate among physicians whereas assessing patient's physical activity, feeling prepared to provide counseling and working in units with physical activity interventions were significant correlates among nurses.
Physicians and nurses deemed physical activity counseling of great importance in primary health care in Brazil. However, in order to increase the quality of counseling and the number of professionals engaging in this activity, these health teams require greater knowledge about physical activity (global recommendations for health) as well as training on the application of instruments for assessing physical activity. Moreover, sufficient time must be allowed during consultations for the counseling process, and physical activity promotion programs should be implemented within the primary health care units.
