Hope everyone is enjoying summer!! Here are some things I found interesting “around the web”
1. From Susan C Hammond:
on
If you sit on any nonprofit boards then you are familiar with the recent changes in the Form 990. Specifically Part VII: Compensation of Officers, Trustees, Key Employees, Highest Compensated Employees & Independent Contractors requires benchmarking the compensation of the CEO and other senior leaders.
2. from Nonprofit Tech 2.0
Is it just a coincidence that online giving skyrocketed in direct correlation with the rise of social media? I don’t think so. Not at all.
In fact, social media is finally helping Donate Now technology reach its full potential. All the hopes and buzz that we were writing, e-mailing and talking about in 2000 are now transforming into real dollars raised online.
3. From Frog Loop: Multi-Channel Fundraising Raises More Money
Care2 held a terrific webinar on Multi-Channel Fundraising. During the webinar Jocelyn Harmon, Director of Nonprofit Services for Care2 posed the question “is fundraising via multiple channels magic or myth?”

4. What is a Power Tweet from John Haydon
Within Twylah, there’s a feature called a “Power Tweet”. Twylah creatorEric Kim says that Power Tweets are tweets that have their “own contextual landing page (with all your recent, related tweets)”.
5. Also from Frog Loop: Women Rule Social Networks
Women are valuable stakeholder to nonprofits. They make contributions to twice as many charitable organizations as men do, and they are more likely to take greater risks in organizations with a strong vision for change, according to Lisa Witter and Lisa Chen, co-authors of The She Spot: Why Women are the Market for Changing the World and How to Reach Them. “Women also volunteer much more than men do. Thirty-two percent of women, compared to just 25 percent of men, volunteer across every state, age group and education level,”
said Jocelyn Harmon.
