Bursting the bubble of non-profits | Diana Ruano | TEDxIEMadrid

- Опубліковано 6 жов 2016
- Have you ever wonder where the money we give to a nonprofit organization goes? How is it manage? Is it different than a business? Are they dealing with cost structures, payroll and all those “admin costs”? Most answers for these questions get complicated depending on the case; however what Diana have found is that for some reason we have created a strong link between non-profit organizations and altruistic pro-bono activities. On her talk, she explores an innovative idea to give the nonprofit sector a more competitive advantage to get the best of the best to solve the biggest challenges they confront day in and day out.
Diana Ruano is a bilingual/bicultural (English/Spanish) international fundraiser with over 15 years of experience in both the private and nonprofit sector. Currently she develops and leads the private fundraising strategy for the United Nation´s World Food Programme in Spain. Previously at Daryl Upsall Consulting International, she successfully led a range of projects, including for UN agencies, major international and small NGOs in new market entry studies, implementation of fundraising strategies, and strategic reviews of current fundraising programs.
This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at ted.com/tedx
This is what is wrong with people who THINK they know things about nonprofit organizations, the third sector, by "paid" fundraisers. Gees! Of course they are paid...do you work for free? I'm so angry.
She is exactly right.
Many none profits have made Hundreds of millions fundraising but we're shut down because they spent $200.000 even though they were able to raise over 200 Millions because of it.
Being lately connected to a non profit I can say without hesitation they are the most mismanaged organization I have ever seen
I can relate. As much as I am passionate, passion is not enough
Köszönöm az előadást, azt gondolom a legjobb nonprofit befektetés a tanítás-tanulás befektetés a jövőbe. Ami a jövőben fog kamatozni, a brand készítés nagyon jó ötlet Jupiii!
Don't focus on outcomes...focus on the impact of the organization. Building schools, having teachers and materials doesn't guarantee literacy. Donations should follow the impact of an organizations not the administrative costs. If donations could be equated to buying a product would you buy a car that didn't work because the company that produced the car spent a small percentage of the car's purchase price on overhead.

Gracias Diana me gusto mucho tu platica. Muy motivante.
Please let know where is on audited financial statement a surplus for nonprofit. I can’t figure out on statement of activity. Do I need to include realized and unrealized gain and loss? Thank you
14:45 Closes with 'If I could end world hunger....' (It's been said that scoundrels often wrap themselves in the flag. Scammers often do so with grandiose and 'virtue-signaling' sentiment.)
Awesome message which resonates with me as a professional fundraiser.
Professional fundraiser = professional profiteer.
Can i hire you?
One word for this lady is, philanthropy is emotional not logical,
We all have a life to live and people are getting off Thier shedules to connect surplus to where there is deficiency.
I have a good proposal which is very impactful, and it is guarded by compassion and truism
I think that is what Guidestar provides. All non profits have to provide financials publicly.
She's unrealistic I think. If all of someone's time is put into the non-profit, how will one feed their family? Should their family starve to feed others? Is that the "no matter what" she's talking about.
11:55 So, it's n-o-t about the % to admin costs (because it is so depressingly high), but ROI. ROI, with not a glimmer of how she'd measure ROI? Sounds more like she'd change to metric to divert attention.
There is so much wrong here....
8:09 Correlation between formal training of fundraisers and their effectiveness in funds raised. How about 'effectiveness' measured at the supposed end of the non-profit (i.e. the societal good). The aim has morphed to raising the most, from doing the most good.
She has over simplified a situation that is more complex than people realize. But people don’t research before they open there mouths or there wallets. So she wants all of this training but that cost. This lady is what’s wrong with people who give and then complain.
If a nonprofit was under the banner of good , but used to also commit crimes . .th r n how is it good ?!. . If a crook takes and steals others stuff , and gets people they help to steal others property as well, break in and vandalize their home. . .or pretend to help others, then turn around, and resale their property after being evicted. .how is this gokd.? . . This is what two crooks did with a non profit in a senior bldging. . .Diane bunch, and miles thompson.
Please go watch Dan Pallotta's TED talk on nonprofits, PLEASE
10:42 Don't call it 'non-profit'. Don't call it a 'Charity'. Create.....wait for it …. a Rebrand Steering Committee. (i.e. Focus on the gloss.)
Too much focus on the re-branding issue. More focus needs to be placed on outcome measures. Re-brand if necessary pay staff if necessary as long as the outcomes are achieved. There are FAR too many non profits which spend far too much on administration ie: 80-90% with scraps left over for those where the funding should go.
Name 1 who does that.. Money is an incentive, the donor gets paid with the result achieved, they shouldn't take care on how u spend your money..
which ones? most spend about 20% on admin... but even then why hold nonprofits to a different standard than corporations? Whose mission is more important?
@@pablodono7227 "Money is an incentive" Is it. Not the outcome?
As someone who works at a nonprofit, we get paid minimum wage. Most people in my department make less than a mcdonalds employee. Everyday we deal with the emotional toll of helping the homeless, suicidal, people who's power is shut off in the dead of winter, people who cannot afford to buy their medication. Not giving us a living wage makes it harder for us to handle those stressors. The people I work with should not need to use the services we provide.
It is perfect and helpful in term of fundraising prospective
...huh?
EXACTLY
yea lets look at the big pie of 1.2$million salary from organizations like United Way.
That's why places like feed my starving children let you see and participate in what you're donating.
@people1st EXACTLY... because the "GIVER" wants to "FEEL GOOD"... then that's not real charity... work with the local guys... a pound of rice in america VS in, lets say, china... get INVOLVED, and get THE LOCALS to fuel, feed, and THRIVE in their own land! now THAT is REAL HELP!
What happened to income inequality? You lady, are crazy!
Ending world hunger is just a pull on the heart strings, that asks for a goal that is unobtainable. All people in impoverished areas of the world, must feed themselves. Its the human way. If they will not help themselves as a community, then help from others will only make them more lazy in mind and body.
Do you really believe that it's an unobtainable goal?
@@RokasSkeivys you can spend your life and money if you want to. The only way you could achieve success, is by forcing people that don't want to comply. Even then ,you might put yourself and family in danger. You can't make people do things, just because you think they should do it. But you can try. Good luck.
petty to resent folk for being remunerated, it does nothing necessarily to demean their conviction, altruistic folk don;t all come from trust fund baring golden bollocks
To ask others to give, first give of yourself. Do paid donors give much of themselves when it is for market wage?
I hate the "why would you earn money with this" in the ngo.. Hey! Look at what we did not at what we earn!
Hey we got same last name 😊
All non profits should be required to post where the money raised is going. When data is not given, year after year, the non profit should be out of business. This continues year after year in a non-profit in my town. It is fraud!
rubbish, managers need to be paid how volunteers will function without any order or managment. and if someone is managing fulltime he/she need to paid otherwise soon his/her family required assistance from same NGOs
Not all non profits are charities.
I don't care if they are all making six figures. I don't give to nonprofits because I don't think they are good at achieving their mission. Also if they were very inefficient with their staff size that could also be bad potentially.
Of course people get paid for working for a non profit... you think the cashier at goodwill works there out of the kindness of their heart? They work there for a paycheck like anyone else. Non profit is a tax designation, doesn’t have anything to do with their goals or mission. The NFL was a nonprofit until 2015... and yes the players and staff were definitely getting paid 😂
There also involved in gangstalking
5:54 When a zealot exhorts repeatedly to do 'whatever it takes' to achieve their mission....then watch out. Ends justify the means. The worst of abuses follow such a mindset.
An example hundreds of false reports forged signatures to get government grants it’s called fraud
Small minds in comments can't understand big souls
Can’t judge everyone base on what happen with just one situation you are wrong for that
Organizations like St Jude Hospital, Boys Town, and most homeless shelters seem to do well without high priced professionals. I'll take proven proficiency over glossy professionals any day.
Not sure where you got that info... Charity Navigator had a top ten highest paid CEO list and Boys Town was on it... their CEO made over $1 million a year...
It is so dangerous to stick to some made up beliefs you have without checking the facts. It's even more dangerous when you post those made up beliefs and others also start believing that. This comment should be flagged as missinformation.
We're talking about professional fundraisers not employees who work in charitable institutions. Since contributing to a couple of charities last year I now receive on average 7 letters a day. I have a box full of letters, large envelopes of all sorts.
I save them till I reach a thousand and hope to do a video to show how much money is wasted. Most seniors on fixed income are fortunate to have $20 a month to donate to a worthwhile organization but it all goes to waste when their name is sold on a mailing list. I hope federal law will soon allow people to opt out of having their name sold on mailing list. They did that with robo calls with great success.
@@charlesrobert6211 what does your reply have to do with your initial comment?
She is everywhere. She is going back and forth on what she says. Lol xD I hope she won't ever get a hold in government. Lolz
I think she's funny.
This is so wrong hahah
What is this gibberish. Get to the point
WASTING MY TIME!
