The examples are not geographic specific - like the internet, the examples
come from everywhere. Here are some examples of what is happening in the
world-wide nonprofit sector: 

Comic Relief raises £3.6 m. on-line
In mid 2001, the UK charity Comic Relief completed its Red Nose campaign - a
six-week program of events held every second year. Overall they raised £45
million, but significantly £3.6 million was raised on-line, and 85% of that
came during the six-hour television (comedy) special. Only £400,000 was
raised on-line during the whole of the previous 1999 campaign.  

Best fundraising auction sites
Auction sites on the internet are proving popular with community business
enterprises with product to sell. Goods such as pottery items produced by
clients of a medical rehabilitation agency, second hand clothing, toys,
furniture and first aid kits are among those finding a ready market. The
method adopted is generally to advertise the selling price as the "minimum
bid". 

Charity Flowers in expansion mode
The earned income venture Charity Flowers - started 18 months ago by the
Adelaide Central Mission and Variety Australia - has gone onto the net under
the umbrella of Wesley Mission with financial support from the Commonwealth
Bank of Australia. To put some marketing voltage into the venture, it placed
50,000 inserts into the Australian Women's Weekly.  

Shareware still available
Small organisations may not be fully aware that shareware still remains
available on the internet for simple applications. For example, if you want
to save on the costs of having raffle tickets printed or like the
convenienceof creating your own raffle tickets.  

Exceptional CBE website
A truly exceptional website is uncommon for community business enterprises.
However one particular exception is the website sponsored by the St George
Foundation for the Royal Institute for Deaf and Blind Children. It will set
the benchmark for some time and is definitely worth a look. 

Internet encourages niche associations
The internet is a boon for niche associations such as the Professional
RésuméWriting and Research Association. This association was created to
provide a standard for résumé writing excellence. By offering accreditation
and on-line peer networking opportunities, these niche associations attract
isolated and remote specialists that feel the need to provide credentials to
their client base.  

The check is in the e-mail
The internet auction industry has spawned a direct-payment industry to
enablecash transactions to be made via e-mail. The system is much less
expensive for charities than having a credit card merchant account and
anyonewith an e-mail address can send money to anyone else with an e-mail
address, whether the recipient has an account or not. The largest niche
player with this new financial service is PayPal - bigger even than
Citibank.  

New technology boosts email marketing
The Institute of Direct Marketing has commissioned electronic marketing firm
StreamCity to produce a video email campaign to promote their forthcoming
charity event. Features of the video email include online registration, the
facility to send to a friend, and subtitling. 

Email Bombardment wins e-mail award
Amnesty International has won the award for best use of e-mail in the
Revolution Magazine Awards for the Digital Economy 2001. The award
recognisedthe use of e-mail and SMS messaging in Amnesty's Stop Torture
campaign.  

Guidelines for on-line fundraising
Final editorial changes are being made to new guidelines for online
fundraising to be published by the Institute of Charity Fundraising Managers
(ICFM). The current standard will be updated annually as new on-line
fundraising techniques develop. 

New style low-bandwidth bookshop 
International relief agency Oxfam has launched its new bookshop website,
withdesign, hosting and data supplied by sponsors. The new site has been
designed to serve Oxfam's existing and very diverse customer base. Unlike
many new websites, this one has been designed for users of normal 56k
modems,as a result of research that revealed that the majority of visitors
did not yet have access to high-speed connections.
