    With Care About Our Environment

    The ecosystem (all the communities of living organisms found in a specific place, their habitats and their interactions) in which we live provides natural services for humans and all other species that are essential to our health, quality of life and survival.

    For example, our forests remove carbon dioxide and other pollutants from the air we breathe and also cool our air temperatures, reducing the formation of ground-level ozone, a pollutant that can cause heart and lung problems to worsen; our wetlands store storm water, filter and make harmless storm water pollutants, and recharge our aquifers (where most of us get our drinking water) with these filtered waters; and the dune systems on our beaches form natural barriers to storm waves and provide important habitat and travel ways for wildlife.nn

    Fundraisers know that building relationships with donors toward meaningful engagements is at the core of success in the field. As we work closely with a donor over time, the fundraising professional and the donor craft as perfect a match as possible between the donorsu2019 goals and organizationsu2019 goals. The final result is a great gift with known expectations, clear goals, and a deep appreciation for why the gift is important to the organization and donor on multiple levels.nnHowever, a fundraiser in a healthcare setting sometimes finds him, or herself suddenly dropped into a situation demanding speed but also delicacy, intimacy and without a pre-existing relationship.

    Two Day Telethon – June 3rd and 4th During the telethon, individuals were asked to text keyword JANEWAY to 45678 in order to make a $20 donation. The text to donate option was promoted regularly during the live broadcast as one of the ways to give to Janeway. Text to give was also promoted through their social media platforms including Facebook and Twitter. There were also special guests performing at different malls.Outside of Haiti relief efforts, this mobile giving campaign has been the most successful mobile giving campaign to date in Canada!

    We would like to give a special thanks to the Wireless carriers for making this possible and passing through 100% of the donations. In collaboration with the Mobile Giving Foundation of Canada, Zipgive and Astral Media, this one-day radiothon has been a huge success and has set a new benchmark in Canada! Through the Mobile Giving Foundation, Registered Charities can leverage the ubiquity of mobile without the complexity, expand and cultivate a new base of donors, and create permissive donor interaction.
