Welcome to Philanthropy.org, where the nonprofit world comes together to share thoughts, discuss issues, teach, and learn.

In today’s world, information is easy to access, so being transparent isn’t optional anymore—it’s necessary. Philanthropic organizations, which play a special role in our society, are expected to be more open and honest about what they do than ever before. Transparency in fundraising has now become critical.

When individuals, companies, and communities come together to help others, they can fill the gaps that governments and businesses sometimes miss. Philanthropy turns hopes, dreams and empathy into real action. Its full potential, however, can only be reached when it’s embraced as a global effort.

Storytelling is your nonprofit’s most powerful marketing tool. But everyone else is using it, too. If you want to stand out from the crowd, you need storyselling—a strategic form of storytelling designed to motivate your donors and prospects to action.
