Know Your Sector

PhilanthropyGuy Says:

Sep 3, 2011 - - I like your comment. I specifically chose to juxtapose organizations like Planned Parenthood and the NRA to demonstrate the diversity of the nonprofit sector. It ranges from conservative churches to liberal organizations like Planned Parenthood - indeed nonprofits are often at odds with their missions.

Sep 2, 2011 - I can' t be the only one struck by the amazing irony of listing "Planned Parenthood" right before "saving lives", can I?

Oct 19, 2010 - - I conducted extensive research - investigating a variety of public resources - to produce the "Know Your Sector" video. A complete bibliography can be found as the original/first blog entry at the website mentioned at the end of the video (i.e. the philanthropy reports website). I'd put the direct link here, but youtube doesn't allow links in responses. Thanks for your interest.

Oct 6, 2010 - Very cool! Thanks so much. Is the music original or can you tell us who is the artist?

Oct 2, 2010 - Great video. I'd respectfully suggest that it needs to emphasise the flow through of non-prodits more rather than the worth of the big guns - which makes it appear that the sector has vast resources - that it multiplies the donations given to it, whether through the taxes we do pay, or the employment, services etc provided. Not to whine or cry poor, but demonstrate value.

PhilanthropyGuy Says:

Sep 24, 2010 - - I created the video as a free resource for donors, volunteers, board members, and nonprofit leaders. I'm hoping to educate folks about a number of misconceptions generally held about the nonprofit sector.

Sep 18, 2010 - - But we didn't. Not that I've got anything against Movie Maker, but we used "Motion" software, as indicated below. :-)
