This Friday, we highlight creative, interesting, and remarkable new ideas in the fundraising world!
New Social Media Features
What do Facebook, Twitter and iPhones have in common? Their imminent upgrades can have positive implications on your fundraising efforts. Read about it at WeDidIt.
New Fundraising Book
Future Fundraising Now showcases a new book on what is sure to be a must-read for all fundraisers. Specifically, its premise is on writing effective fundraising appeals, and author Jeff Brooks writes a fantastic, insightful chapter on fundraising VS fundcrushing (a term you can learn more about by listening to the podcast!). The book, How to Turn your Words into Money, can be purchased here.
New Efforts in the Classroom
Twenty-four colleges and universities have taken an award from the U.S. Department of Education and made unprecedented changes to their learning platforms in the hopes of improving graduation rates, particularly for lower-income or first-generation students. Academic Impressions highlights the inspiring updates in this post and in this report.
