Using I give.com and Amazon.com to help with funding.

I have heard mixed reviews about Igive.com. I give promotes its self as a way for people to help their favorite cause for free. Every time people use the site to search for products on line they are charged A penny a search and a portion of each purchase is donated to the persons favorite cause. What I have heard is that if you sign up with them, they will send out emails to people that look very much as if they are from your organization.

The best group I have heard of to sign up with for extra funding is amazon.com You get 4% of whatever your donors spend if they enter through your website first. It raises a nice amount of funding for your programs each year.

Is there any funding sources or ideas you have heard about or would caution others about?

We have had good luck with GoodSearch.com. It offers a similar penny per/search rate using yahoo.com, as well as a 3-5% of purchase return for a wide variety of online merchants. We haven't made a ton of money, but every little bit helps.

To my knowledge, GoodSearch has never sent our users unsoliticted email.

New Report: A Close Look at the Reality of Community Violence Interrupters

Dr. Kathryn Bocanegra and Dr. Shani Buggs, eminent researchers and experts on the work of community violence intervention, have published, together with LISC, Supporting the Frontline Through Community Healing: Advancing Science on Violence Intervention Outreach and Trauma Exposure. The study, focused on safety efforts in Kansas City, MO, is a deeply researched and compassionate look at the trauma CVI workers confront every day and how to support the field so that practitioners “are protected from the same harms they work to prevent.”

LISC's Institute for Community Power has published a new Spotlight examining three leadership development programs designed and implemented by LISC and local partners for distinct communities in different parts of the country: Training the Trainers (T4T) in Houston; the Newark Resident Leadership Academy (NRLA); and Community Connectors in Philadelphia.
