Ted’s guest will be Care2 VP of Nonprofit Services Clint O’Brien, and their topic will be “Staying True to Core Values in Fundraising Campaigns.” Inspired partly by the Susan G. Komen – Planned Parenthood controversy earlier this year, the show will explore the pitfalls and opportunities for nonprofits that bring in revenue by (among other things): 1) accepting advertising and sponsorships; 2) teaming up for cause marketing campaigns with corporate partners; and 3) using advocacy campaigns partly as fundraising vehicles.
The discussion also will touch on the rise of for-profit social enterprises like Care2 -- the host of this Frogloop blog you are reading -- and how these self-styled “do-gooder” companies try to strike a balance between earning a profit while taking their social missions seriously.
