1) When do people give?

Winter Housing provides temporary shelter in vacant warehouses for homeless individuals during winter in Chicago neighborhoods like Uptown and Rogers Park. The organization aims to end homelessness by offering shelter to men and women when temperatures drop through leasing empty spaces and donations. Its mission is supported by a board including Yednekachew Negusse, Martha Negussie, and others. Common causes of homelessness addressed include high rents, lack of housing, domestic violence, and health issues.
The document provides instructions and a tracker for participants of the America Saves Challenge to log their daily personal finance and savings activities over the course of a week.

The goal is for participants to maximize their points each week, with a maximum of 700 points possible.
Chea Thul is a woman living in poverty in Cambodia who makes only $2 per day and needs $700 for a loan to increase her rice production. Donating to her would help feed her family and indirectly support Cambodia's economic development by growing more agricultural output. The requested $700 loan would be paid back in monthly installments ending in January 2012, allowing Chea Thul to increase her production and income to support herself and her country.

Rebecca Ryan - Wisconsin Governor's Conference - 5 TrendsRebecca Ryan
The document discusses 5 trends: 1) The Great Unraveling involving societal crisis around 2005. 2) The graying and browning of America as minorities drive population growth making the US majority-minority. 3) The economic benefits of large cities according to Kleiber's Law where resource needs increase sublinearly with population. 4) The talent dividend where areas with more college graduates have higher incomes. 5) Emerging technologies and their adoption, like two-and-a-half year olds using iPads. The document examines these trends and their implications.

The East Parish Meeting House in Haverhill, Massachusetts is one of only seven surviving meeting houses in the state and is on the National Register of Historic Places. It received a grant to do repairs but needs $50,000 in matching donations from the community before winter to avoid further deterioration. The goal is to use social media to raise awareness, communicate volunteer opportunities, and provide a means for donations to assist in preservation efforts. Suggestions are made for using Facebook, Flickr, Twitter, and blogs to engage the target demographic of those over 50 years old. Considerations for an effective social media strategy are outlined.

This document is an introduction to the book "The Greatest Money-Making Secret in History" by Joe Vitale. It summarizes the key money-making secret as giving money away freely to people who inspire you. It provides examples of wealthy historical figures like Rockefeller, Carnegie, and P.T.

The document discusses the importance of community service for both the individual and the community. It states that community service helps to build and improve communities by giving people compassion and understanding for the world around them. When people volunteer for projects they are passionate about, it allows them to donate as much of their time as they are able. Community service also brings a nation together and creates a sense of responsibility in people to help others. While many problems exist in the world, community service gives individuals a sense of purpose and a chance to improve their community. It is a rewarding experience that also looks good on a resume. Overall, community service benefits both those receiving assistance and those who participate.
The document discusses factors that influence human behavior and decision making in a digital context. It explores cultural differences and how understanding culture can help connect with people emotionally and create loyal fans.

1. The document discusses a potato osmosis lab experiment where a potato is placed in water to observe osmosis.
2. Osmosis is the movement of water molecules through a selectively permeable membrane from an area of high water potential to low water potential.

This document discusses why fundraisers are often failing at storytelling in their appeals and what needs to change. It outlines that there are two types of stories - ones that explain and ones that compel action. Stories that just explain accomplishments and needs often do not motivate donors to give, unlike stories that create tension and position the donor as the hero who can resolve it. The document provides examples of effective versus ineffective storytelling and summarizes principles from behavioral science on how to craft compelling stories that will motivate donors to support an organization's mission.
Over 22,000 children die daily from poverty-related causes, and 80% of people live on less than $10 per day. Nearly 1 billion adults cannot read or write, and in 2005 over 70 million children in developing countries were not in school. Military spending is $780 billion annually compared to only $13 billion spent on basic health and nutrition. Poverty affects over 1.6 billion people without electricity and half the world's population faces water problems. Poverty is a global issue, not confined to specific regions, and is often due to circumstances outside of people's control. Individuals are encouraged to support organizations addressing poverty and participate in programs like Free Rice to donate food.

CRYPTOCURRENCY REVOLUTIONIZING THE FINANCIAL LANDSCAPE AND SHAPING THE FUTURE...itsfaizankhan091
Cryptocurrency, a digital or virtual form of currency that uses cryptography for security, has revolutionized the financial landscape. Originating with Bitcoin's inception in 2009 by the pseudonymous Satoshi Nakamoto, cryptocurrencies have grown from niche curiosities to mainstream financial instruments, reshaping how we think about money, transactions, and the global economy.
The birth of Bitcoin marked the beginning of the cryptocurrency era. Unlike traditional currencies issued by governments and controlled by central banks, Bitcoin operates on a decentralized network using blockchain technology. This technology ensures transparency, security, and immutability of transactions, fundamentally challenging the centralized financial systems that have dominated for centuries.
Bitcoin was conceived as a peer-to-peer electronic cash system, aimed at providing an alternative to the traditional banking system plagued by inefficiencies, high fees, and lack of transparency. The underlying blockchain technology, a distributed ledger maintained by a network of nodes, ensures that every transaction is recorded and cannot be altered, thus providing a secure and transparent financial system.
