From The Editor
(NOTE: If you've already received this newsletter in HTML
form, I apologize for sending it again, but many other
readers have told us that the HTML came through showing
nothing but code. So I'm sending this again in two parts.)
It's time to Spring into action. I suppose that's a play on
words, being that Spring is in the air already.
We've got some great products here for your review and I
know that you will be able to do some great fundraising and
PR with these.
Many times fundraising only focuses on snagging that elusive
donor dollar and the Public Relations effect is often
overlooked. Reaching out to your community and your
supporters is very important too. A Good PR presence will
add power to your fundraising efforts year after year.
Custom branded candy bars and new reporting features from
Kintera are just part of what can be accomplished to attract
more attention (in next partial issue).
Oh, and stay tuned to our next full special edition of our
enewsletter. It will be a special audio edition highlighting
an Inc. 500 company that offers individuals (ministers,
bi-vocational Executive Directors, Small Nonprofits with a
One-Person-Staff, etc.) a way to make a substantial (and yes,
I said substantial) living while allowing them to carry on
their life's mission.
So stay tuned for the next full eNewsletter edition and
I'll speak with you then.
Jesse Carter, Editor

Fundraising Software -- Spring Into An Online Auction
C Market Online Auctions
Organizations that want to use live or silent auctions to
fundraise have a new tool. If you are planning an auction
event with a fundraising goal of at least $10,000, then you
need to take a look at C Market Online Auctions
We've found a new online auction tool that is fantastic.
It's reported that, "Online fundraising is the fastest
growing form of fundraising today..."
If you need easy-to-use tools that will help you create,
market, and manage a successful online auction, then C Market
online auctions is right for you.
C Market's online fundraising auction allows you to run a
complete online auction or even run an online auction before
your live event occurs. You can even create your own
customized auction home page and catalog as well.
After setting up your auction home page, simply communicate
with your supporters with a custom email that will start the
bidding off instantly.
There are no up-front fees, no monthly fees, no limits on
the numbers of emails you send, no minimum or maximum
catalog parameters and no payment until after your auction
ends. You group just pays a small percentage of your
auction's net revenue.
Look into how C Market Online Auctions can work for you.

Fundraising Product -- Hottest New Fundraiser Of The Year
Marigold's Coupon Sales
I know it is not summer yet, but I've got a hot one for you.
This fundraising product is so hot off the table that I'm
going to ask you to be sure to forward this to someone else
you know about this one before another group at their
school, community or church grabs it first.
I'm talking about Marigold's Gift Certificate Catalogs.
"Where you get what you pay for!" as their motto states.
New fundrasiers don't come around often, so I had to bring
it to your attention. The concept is simple. Basically, your
fundraising participants or students show the colorful
'catalog of catalogs' and a supporter picks the specific
catalog that he or she would like to buy from.
Here are just a few of the benefits that I like:
* Free literature
* Gifts that consumers value and want
* Greater choices with Name-Brand products from
Nationally-Known companies
* Thousands of quality products to choose from
* All one price -- $20.00 each
* Gift Certificates are delivered to buyers home by the
catalogers
I also like that you make $8.00 for each $20.00 Gift
Certificate sold. And it does not diminish from the value
the consumer gets. Your supporter actually gets a $20.00
gift certificate for their $20.00 purchase.
I think you might want to find out more about Marigold's
here http://www.profitquests.com/ProductsMarigolds.html
Then, pass it along to others you know who might be interested.

Fundraising Software -- Kintera Has New "Thon" Tracking
Feature
Kintera has a new tracking feature that will take your
"thon" event to the next level.
Kintera, one of the world's best known software companies,
has once again improved the reporting features with their
Thon package.
The Kintera Thon used by organizations to support their
fundraising events can now help strengthen their
relationships with their supporters using a new feature
released February 17, 2006.
Kintera reports, "Now when a participant logs in to their
headquarters in Kintera Thon, they will see a graph that
allows them to easily view and track the donations they have
raised over a specified length of time."
http://www.profitquests.com/files/Kintera_Thon_graph_sm.jpg
"The participant can change the default view of the
graph to see the amount of donations they raised over the
past 5 days, the last full week, the last 30 days, or the
past year."
This new feature works to personalize the Kintera Thon
participant's online user experience. Instantly, they can
see the impact their support has made on behalf of your
organization. Desirably, they will feel more personally
vested in your project or mission.
This new tool will help deepen the relationship between your
organization and your supporters. This new feature allows
you to continue building lifelong bonds between your
constituents and your efforts.

Book Review
Change the World : How Ordinary People Can Achieve
Extraordinary Results by Robert E. Quinn
is a 340 page hardback that will help you stop doing things
from a self interest standpoint and start doing things for
the wellbeing of others. After all, isn't that why we are
all involved in our particular nonprofit organization?
Establishing principles, providing quotes and then modeling
the quotes is what Quinn does when he quotes Jesus, Gandhi,
and Martin Luther King in each chapter to argue his points.
This book is all about ordinary people changing the world.
This book is not for the faint-hearted, but for those
wanting to recharge their organization to the very core.
Could some of his ideas be thought provoking to you? If you
are ready to switch gears, then you have got to review
Change the World : How Ordinary People Can Achieve
Extraordinary Results and put it in overdrive.
