This si the first ever graphic novel about the future of nonprofits. We are excited about the ooprtunity to share this information with everyone especially the NPOS in the room who are curious about what the future holds for them.
The fact is that NPOS across the board are suffering a decline In their income. Here are a few examples of the organizations that saw a substantial decline in 2010. We wrote the comic in a effort to cut through the fear and deliver the message that organizations need to create their own future and become more proactive.
The future of NPOS is a messy blend of technology innovation and social adaptation. What is most important is that the NPOS of the future are able to take advantage of the 5 major changes we have identifed that are going to fundementally change the way that NPOS do business.
To attract and retain the attention of the next generation of NPOS will have to incorporate game theory into their special events and leverage new technology to raise funds awareness and deliver advocacy efforts through game play.
In the Future NPOS will need to be technology savvy enough to take advantgage of every advent to make the donation procecc easier for the donors. NPOS will need to leverage near field coomunication, to mobile social, to alternative currecnyc.
The NPO of the future has to be prepared to empower individuals to raise funds and awareness the way that t hey want to. In the future NPOs will raise less money from more people and it will come from people raisng money their own way.
