The Secret to Getting People to Give :: Why People Donate

By Anonymous -
Giving isn’t a business transaction. It’s a human connection. To inspire donors to give, you need to make a meaningful connection by showing them why they matter and how they can make a difference. When you understand why your donors give, you’ll be able to make a more effective appeal.

People like variety! With Digigiv you can offer them multiple ways to support your church or non-profit organization. It is our goal to help you remove the barriers a potential donor might encounter by offering multiple ways to give. DigiGiv is an organization that his committed to helping churches and non-profits save money and increase donations.

Don’t be afraid to reach out to your donors personally and find out why they give. Their stories matter, and sharing them creates inspiration for others to follow their example. That being said, here are some of the top reasons why donors give:

  1. Someone I know asked me to give, and I wanted to help them
  2. I felt emotionally moved by someone’s story
  3. I want to feel I’m not powerless in the face of need and can help (this is especially true during disasters)
  4. I want to feel I’m changing someone’s life
  5. I feel a sense of closeness to a community or group
  6. I want to memorialize someone (who is struggling or died of a disease, for example)
  7. I was raised to give to charity—it’s tradition in my family
  8. I want to be “hip,” and supporting this charity (i.e., wearing a yellow wrist band) is in style
  9. It makes me feel connected to other people and builds my social network
  10. I want to have a good image for myself/my company
  11. I want to leave a legacy that perpetuates me, my ideals or my cause
  12. I feel fortunate and want to give something back to others
  13. I give for religious reasons—my faith teaches me to help others
  14. I want to be seen as a leader/role model

How to Prevent Phishing Attacks

By -
What Is Phishing? Phishing is a cybercrime in which a target or targets are contacted by email, telephone or text message by someone posing as a legitimate institution to lure individuals into providing sensitive data such as personally identifiable information, banking and credit card details, and passwords. The first phishing lawsuit was filed in 2004 against a Californian teenager who created the imitation of the website “America Online”. With this fake website, he was able to gain sensitive information from users and access the credit card details to withdraw money from their accounts. Other than email and website phishing, there’s also 'vishing' (voice phishing), 'smishing' (SMS Phishing) and several other phishing techniques cybercriminals are constantly coming up with.  Prevent Phishing Attacks: Though hackers are constantly coming up with new techniques, there are some things that  you can do to protect yourself and your organizat...

The best teachers of BUET

By -
According to me in 1996-2001 the best teacher in CSE, BUET was Prof. Dr. Kaykobad. Well this write up is a revenge write up, because this man has praised me relentlessly in so many places and often have given me a godlike status which I do not deserve. Sometimes it was pleasing and sometimes it was quite embarrassing. If I survive till age 80 (Very unlikely) I will write how it all became embarrassing, not now :). In my book an outstanding teacher needs to have two qualities (a) Have a good sense of humour (b) Have the capability to inspire his students and Dr. Kaykobad has these two qualities in plenty. In a place like BUET inspiring the students work best because almost any student can learn anything by himself if he/she tries seriously. To illustrate his sense of humour some of his remarks are enough. Once some students of a University asked Dr. Kaykobad so set an easier question paper in the Final exam. His witty reply was “I do not want do prove how bad you are by setting a ...
