In his latest newsletter consultant Rick Christ covers the reported closures or end of service from sites such as Charitableway, Donornet and AllAdvantage. He writes: “This is a great time for nonprofits to say, “See?? I TOLD you so! I KNEW these firms were all gonna go belly-up, and leave us with egg on our faces! It’s a good thing WE didn’t sign one of those contracts!””
But he adds: “And what a mistake that would be. It is necessary to understand that we live in fluid times. Certainly a United Way knows that its biggest employer may announce this afternoon a major plant closing… Does that mean the United Way idea is a failure?”
