Holy Beep! Successful projects rock. And while it does feel a bit like beeping our own horn, when we celebrate our success here at Agents of Good, it is all the more awesome because in our work, it also means that the world is a little bit of a better place. And in the case [...]

The Agents are pumped to have a guest post for you from our colleague/fellow agitator/total Agent of Good Emma Lewzey with a Special Ops briefing on some undercover work she just completed on Twitter. Enjoy! And you rule Emma! I came to Twitter last year with a fairly singled minded mission – to learn the [...]

Recently Nancy Schwartz asked this question on her blog and as part of the Nonprofit Blog Carnival and after a few twitter dm’s, she convinced me to write about my selection. This tough because I am more of a marketing fellow than a fundraiser like Jen, so I tend to read a lot of both. [...]

If, and this is a very big if, if I wore a bonnet, I’d have a bee in it. A few weeks ago I asked a question on Linkedin, “Simple question today: when i say “donor centered” – what charity, agency or consultant do you think of ” The results were interesting and insightful and [...]

Our great pal and uber-passionate fundraiser, Josh Bowman who works along side the great folks at Second Harvest in Toronto has the market covered in Top Ten lists on his blog. This month he has been posting Top Ten lists from some of other favourite friends, bloggers and colleagues and we are honoured to be [...]

I received an email last week, and in the first four words, I was drawn into a deeply emotional time. Those 4 words? “I have terrible news.” An old friend and colleague was writing about the death of her husband, best friend, life partner and father to her 6 month old infant. He lost his [...]

I just got a call. And here you are reading my blog about it. You’re going to hear my venting. But if you can hang on through the rage, you’ll also hopefully think about how you talk to your donors/communities of supporters. Phone rings. Me: “hello?” Pause. Clicking. Some kind of murmuring. Me: “hello!?” Murmur [...]
