Philanthro Connect 2011: Connecting Tech and Non-Profits

Last Friday, CallFire helped sponsor Philanthro Connect 2011-- a great invitation-only event put on by Philanthro Productions in order to connect emerging technology companies with the non-profit community. Since we work with hundreds of non-profits, we were interested in the idea as soon as we heard about, and we're glad we had the chance to make the event possible (as well as attend it). We even roped our CEO, Dinesh Ravishanker, into booth duty.

In one of my recent posts, I briefly mentioned "Generation G" -- a growing contingent of Americans described by trendwatching.com, where the G stands for Generosity. These Americans are increasingly "disgusted with greed" and its effects on society and the economy; they long for more generosity, for "institutions that care," and for for people who "share, give, engage, create and collaborate."

Americans Want Deals

Some business-owners are under the erroneous impression that a deal must provide huge savings in order to attract customers. But it doesn't matter how small or big it is -- Americans always want a deal. Sure, the bigger the better, but it's the concept of "saving money" in general that's so attractive to consumers.
