History of GivingMarket/SmallChange|
Yahoo Groups didn't make mass emailing possible, it made it more easy and efficient for non-tech individuals. Ebay didn't make garage sales, basement retailing, collectibles marketing possible, it made them more easy and efficient. Blogging didn't make web publishing possible. Google News didn't make reading 1000 different newspapers and websites possible. Again, just more easy and efficient. In this way, a GivingMarket need not make giving or even online giving possible, it only needs to make it easy and efficient for individuals -- for ordinary people who are not familiar with website-building tools, planned giving, non-profit management, tax law, estate planning and other areas required to run social service or giving organizations. Easy means more individuals could be visioning, organizing, fundraising and giving. Efficiency means lower transactions costs. More and more smaller giving transactions provide funding for more and more small changes to the good. /MicroPaymentsGrowth? |
