Marc Chardon: Peering Into the Nonprofit Crystal Ball...2013

Marc Chardon: Peering Into the Nonprofit Crystal Ball...2013
The world is shrinking and philanthropic borders are broadening
Even a few years ago when a disaster occurred, it was viewed as an event that happened "over there." This has changed dramatically. Disasters are now viewed and responded to in a similar fashion regardless of where they take place. From a nonprofit perspective, the world is flattening. In addition to the shrinking of the world, we're also seeing a shift in wealth toward developing nations and the BRIC countries, which will cause nonprofits to rethink how they raise money. Essentially, it becomes critical for nonprofits to "engage donors where they are" in the world. The shrinking and the broadening will also increase competition for resources, forcing nonprofits to be very deliberate and transparent when it comes to mission delivery and supporter engagement.T
