This presentation questions the current donation model of "giving things away"-type aid and calls for a movement to improve the way we market "charity". If you want to be involved in a discussion of how to further this movement, connect with me @danielapapi and/or join us for a meeting in San Francisco on June 11, 2011! (Yes, I rushed and I did use a lot of the same slide designs/details from my last presentation designed by @jenrikay - Thanks Jen!)

1. Changing the Way
the World Views “Aid”
Marketing for impact, Investing time in people,
and promoting market-based solutions
Join us to discuss this!
June 11th, 2011 in
San Francisco, Califonia

2. Many
people
are
looking
to invest
their
wealth in
creating
the
changes
they want
to see in
the world

3. But many of them don’t have

4. the time

5. to research where or how to invest
in the best development work

6. A lot of this good intention is not
being harnessed for the most
positive impact

7. In part because the best
marketing and branding is not
always linked with the best
development work

8. It’s time for that
to change

9. It’s time for that
to change.

10. It’s time for that
to change.

11. We want to bring together

12. We want to bring together
animators
non-profit managers
marketers investors
philanthropcapitalists
creatives professionals
development
donors
social-entrepreneurs
philanthropists innovators
photographers

13. to come up with a plan

14. for how we can inspire
improvements in the way
people give

15. for how we can inspire
improvements in the way
people give
because…

16. charity
continues to create a
dependency on our “aid”

17. “Giving things” to “the
poor” is not going to solve
our problems.

18. We need to
invest in
people

19. NOT by
giving away
things &
money

20. but by
investing
time in
people
instead

21. so that they
have the
capacity to
reach their
own goals

22. and create their own paths to success

23. besides…

24. giving away things
destroys markets

25. We need a
solution revolution…

26. including a phenomenal
marketing campaign

27. including a phenomenal
marketing campaign
to reach every future donor

28. Why do we care how people give?

29. because we’ve made these
same mistakes.

30. We want to share the
lessons we’ve learned…

31. We want to share the
lessons we’ve learned…

32. some of us started our
work in development by
building schools

33. But then we realized that…

34. Schools don’t teach kids.

35. Neither do pencils,
books, or t-shirts.

36. And giving these “things” to
people isn’t the solution to
anyone’s problems.

37. We learned a lot of lessons.

38. Lesson #1:
Invest in people
to put things to use

39. Lesson #2:
Empower people with the tools,
connections & skills to make lasting positive
impacts and to reach their OWN goals.

40. Lesson #3:
Giving things away can destroy local markets.
A more long-term solution can often come from
market-based investments.

41. We want to share these lessons and ideas

42. with people who have good intentions

43. but don’t know where to donate their money

44. Many busy,
successful people
don’t have time to do
research

45. So we
need to
help!

46. Next Steps

47. Let’s meet,
share ideas

48. and find new
ways to open
minds

49. Calling all
supporters!

50. Calling all
supporters!
Let’s create
changes which
improve how
people give
