Any and all Wristband Bros blogs relating to non-profits.
If you’re a non-profit, chances are you’ve got a Facebook page. You use that page to organize fundraisers and drive donations. Well, Facebook is recognizing this utility and taking it one step further. They recently launched fundraiser pages – think Facebook event page, but for raising cash – on a limited level.
So far, the fundraising page option is available to three non-profits: Mercy Corps, the National Multiple Sclerosis Society and World Wildlife Fund.
We here at the blog like to focus on non-profits, since they are such an important customer base for us. When I saw this non-profit grocery store opening, I was intrigued. Daily Table opened its first store June 4, 2015. Founded by Doug Rauch, former president of Trader Joe’s, the store is located in Dorchester, MA.
I’ve seen some articles recently floating around about the NFL and its status as a non-profit. Could it really be that the NFL, a football giant that brings in more than 10 billion annually, is a non-profit?
The answer is yes and mostly no.
Notes on above infographic: According to Grantspace, there are currently 10.7 million non-profit employees and 1.5 million registered organizations. These two numbers were used to estimate the average employee size of a non-profit (7). Survey response data used was gathered by Hubspot.
I recently came across an informative blog by Steven Shattuck of Hubspot. He was discussing the perceived importance of social media vs how a non-profit actually delivers on its social media strategy. Informed by a 9000+ person survey, the results he uncovered are pretty startling.
Po Psuto Moda is an example of an amazing viral awareness campaign. Poland has a stray dog problem. Many of them end up in temporary homes and adoptions centers. And for 70% of those pups… Well, they don’t end up in a happy home. That’s all I can say on the matter without feeling very sad and wanting to hug my own pup.
So these brilliant peeps decided they’d bring the internet down with the most adorable model photos in the history of earth. Stray dogs are mangy and undesirable? Pssh. Check out these cats (dogs)! They are as cute and magnificent as any dog on the planet!
