The Cause Megaphone | It's (up to) you!

I am a student of the non-profit, charity, cause world ~ I suspect most of my Behind the Button readers not so much. You are the participants, the "doers' if you will, out there promoting a cause, raising money and honoring your loved ones. So here's the thing I just listened to a 40 minute talk by Seth Godin link here about the state of the non-profit world, it was made possible by the excellent Network for Good and... 

I think you should listen to this, because you can help, you are going to be the change, the difference!

Now mind you this talk was directed to and I assume attended mostly by non-profit professionals -- so at first I did not think it would merit your attention but as the call went on I recognized that one of the biggest (maybe the biggest) challenges the non-profit world faces is more likely to be solved bottom up (you) than top down. Seth talks about changing the game --turning the traditional, boring "fundraising funnel" around and making it a dynamic, focused (permitted) and loud "cause megaphone". This is where you come in you are going to have to help your favorite non-profit change. (little secret: they're longing for you to help) Your going to have to do things, here are five ideas (mine) to get you started:

1. tell them you want to "make your story part of their cause" not vice versa
2. tell them when too much email is too just much
3. tell them to give you something remark able for you to email your friends about, can't have too many emails like that
4. tell them when too many raised dollars are spent on too many tshirts, trinkets and event schwag
5. tell them you want to know what they think, really think about the cause ~ demand they start a dialogue (blog is the best way ~ start today here)
6. and.....

....too many more to mention here. The bottom line is if you love a cause take it upon yourself to speak up, to drive change. I think there are a whole lot of amazing non-profit professionals in sleepy organizations who need (are longing for) you to ally with them to be the change! I would love your thoughts and comments on this one please.
