I do a lot of volunteering / fundraising and asking for money comes along with it many times. This gets old and I HATE asking for money and my family and friends are probably sick of it, too. I am going on a mission trip w/ my church in June and I was looking to ask for donations. I put the idea on hold because of the economy. Is there a good way to do this on Twitter? Please e-mail me with ideas!! Thanks!!! Keep up the good work!! I saw your post and I am looking for advice on fundraising.

What would be really valuable is social networking analysis of the flow of your donations -- who were the influencers? (Perhaps an analysis of referrals? or just a basic or basic count of direct tweets versus re-tweets) How many were new donors versus existing donors? How many degrees of separation -- friend, friend of friend, friend of friend? Also, did you do an analysis of the gifts by amount? What were the percentage of $100 plus versus $10 gifts? Average gift size? Did you learn any qualitative insights from donors and their motivations to give? This could be done by a content analysis of the guess book or comments you've received or reflections. It would also be interesting to see a description of the various components of strategy and your assessment of worked, what didn't and what you'd do differently next time around. For example, you did an aggressive blogger outreach campaign to support the twittering? This is a great compilation of statistics!
