often reject the call because I can give no basis for trust.
I find it's lacking a lot in political communication.
And 'necessary to protect the tranquility of the person who is the weaker and more subject to offers little variety.
The person should be able to accept being called on topics chosen and whether the explanation of the theme chosen is considered to be positive may make a contribution.

I believe that all the work, if done honestly, have the same dignity and must be defended. Not that our "job" is a fundraiser milgiore or worse than others, but it is surely less known and often distrattato, except when our interlocutors call us because they need money!
It 'funny how no one is shocked or write articles when viengono cheated "clients" or when any seller also aggressively propose his "merchandise". Instead we are shocked (and sometimes lashes out) against those who propose to support a good cause through means other than the charity.

But be careful, I said any work done so "HONEST" (and therefore transparent, rendicontato, etc..).

To us the burden of showing that we are seekers of swindling money, but hard workers with a job, maybe a bit 'special, but to secure for many utilities.

Good luck and we're at it, I wish you a profitable 2012.

I find that the so-called FACE TO FACE is a method of dialogatori AWFUL marketing. Also rightly says the journalist, often run by unscrupulous companies PROFIT, the boys are paid a pittance to stand all day in the street, know nothing of associations for which they work. It 's really a shame.

it is true, Julia, there are very unscrupulous companies. The contract that the journalist as a photocopy of the republic port (see article) is really to be "exploited workers". Something crazy, and I think even motivating and counterproductive. My question is: Is there a good Face to face? Or the method itself is always and only negative? and face to face that good features should it have? Those who experience the features lists. Thank you Julia!

Face to Face I do not like it at all. I find that takes inspiration from the worst and most harmful and annoying marketing techniques. The secret to a good funraising you think long term: sensibilizazione, doing charitable work in Italy, working with cultural centers, libraries, schools, neighborhoods. But, just as in the profit business, we have the urge to win quickly, and without much fuss (or effort): percu you put kids in front of the unconscious and paid Feltrinelli ......

Some concepts already obsoletti elsewhere are struggling to return to our language and our cultura.tra these is the social business, which finds its strongest expression in the social capital created thanks to the marketing face to face.

In my opinion the article in the Republic a few weeks ago he enrolled in that very logic.
Reflects some thought comune.Quante times a Dialogue will be heard at the booth to ask if the road was a volunteer or if it was paid?!
If you answered yes to the volunteer seems more noble cause that claims to be difende.se salary is almost disgusted because you do not yet understand that there is the job of the Fundraiser.
Do not we all, every day for 10 hours a day to attend to social issues and seek funding: A major reason is if the street, under the sun, rain and snow as it does the Dialogue, which usually is a young, student needs existentialists, often sensitive to the realities with which it comes in contact, interested to work and live decently!
To comment a second article, I assure you that I have had a laugh reading it, because I have not seen a journalist, I saw a frustrated person, who fell in the F2F with many demands and safeties like everyone else, and that confronting the harsh reality has seen befall every journalist sicurezza.ho seen even less to remember that one of the foundations of journalism is objectivity. I think this article had been sacrificed by the first letter of the last. E 'can never that in all there is not a positive point!?

I want to say to the person who wrote that my companion arrived in this work as a journalist and has remained with the idea of ​​finoggi.non arricchirsi.perchè certainly gained in the last three years less than it would have taken continuing its career as a journalist.

I do not mean that everything is rosa.c 'is always someone who wants to take advantage of others in all things, but it is definitely a reason to discredit a category so noble as that of the Fundraiser to fight every day to give the world a Alternatively: the capital, made to address issues common to tutti.Senza exception

Dear Francois, I'm sorry but I have to contradict you. Category contributing to a noble cause? it, making use of the PROFIT companies that promise career, money (on commission), and touch the reality of the non-profit which in truth is light years away? Have you ever tried to talk to these guys and they do not know ANYTHING renerrti account of how an NGO or a project? These are the last wheel of the wagon, exploited to carry around the logo of UNICEF or Save the Children, like many sandwich men. and 'a SHAME.

This is precisely the contradiction: it says "must be given to the third sector professionalism and pay reasonable wages, then the type of contract offered to the journalist of the republic is really crazy. Okay encourage people to work with an award, but with these contracts is not an incentive, it discourages.
and also the phrase
"I want to say to the person who wrote that my companion arrived in this work as a journalist and has remained with the idea of ​​finoggi.non arricchirsi.perchè certainly gained in the last three years less than it would have taken continuing His career as a journalist "is in contradiction with what was said before. It almost seems that working in the nonprofit bad luck that we happen to be a "yes, I could earn more money ', but since I'm good I chose to earn less" ...
My bet is that instead of working in a nonprofit gains FOR MORE '! not less.
We need to work in the nonprofit TALENTS, or those who choose to work here because they see it as a possible professional career both in terms of motivation THAT economically!
With certain contracts (if true) is not going anywhere, is a genuine madness.

Everything that is in the interests, especially large nonprofits have in this topic. If we mettessero put the same effort in trying to solve the problem for the postal cost of sending the mailing and what would solve all the nonprofit fundraising and there would be a fool as you are doing now with these articles (and not to forget, a series of articles published on the scam and Vis Act have
But apparently it does not care, I do not think a new last-minute what happened.

The problem is not a bad figure, is that these things on her own nonprofit SHOULD NOT!!

What still lacks is a response to the article cited by the NGO in the same article. Could you clarify many aspects.

I see that unfortunately this conversation has run out too quickly. Too bad, because on this very fertile area often find the arguments that can lead to virtuous and lasting solutions. The F2F, neghiamolo and not for pleasure, for its particular nature lends itself to situations of uncertainty and variability of working conditions sometimes favorable, sometimes unfavorable. Upon my word, whose agency has known several and ended up earning $ 100 a day, rather than 100 euros a week.
Why not tackle the problem head on: to establish conditions of minimum wage. What is right and fair for an hour Dialogue gains? What form of contract? Then let the project managers the responsibility to decide precisely of incentives and benefits, to find solutions for, in a perspective of shared benefit for nonprofits, for the same charge, for dialogatori.
Below a certain threshold, the F2F not to be performed. Period. If you do not have the budget does not send, so you do not send people into the street, otherwise the F2F is open to speculation, as reported by the journalist of La Repubblica.
He says (I'm pretty sure in good faith) Emmanuel Bomb of World Vision Italy - "we got the insurance agency that the salary is always paid in respect of work performed by the Dialogue" - sin is silent the essential, ie how many hours is the drive.
