The Orangutan Protection Foundation’s adoption programme

A Mega Doação: Captação de recursos pela internet
Temos certeza de que muitos captadores de recursos vão achar que é difícil acreditar que, para alguns doadores, em particular os principais doadores, pode ser difícil encontrar uma organização de confiança, e de doadores amigáveis para dar o seu dinheiro. The Big Give é uma inovação que atende ambas às necessidades de doadores e captadores de recursos. Para instituições de caridade, o site é uma oportunidade fantástica e grátis, para mostrar seus projetos, o trabalho real e relevante que grande parte do público deixa de ver, ou perceber as necessidades financeiras.

RSPB’s letter to the future
How do you engage people in your cause, grab their attention and encourage them to stand alongside you on an issue of national importance? Not easy, we think. But here’s a brilliant example of a national conservation charity doing just that, very successfully.
RSPCA’s ‘sow tethering’ telephone campaign
Any marketing campaign that can have such an impact on members of parliament on the eve of taking their country to war has to be worth recording. This campaign is notable as one of the early UK examples of fundraisers using the telephone.
