Here’s a short iMovie trailer from the last two beta events that we had. Each version is getting better and better. It’s hard to capture in a short video the energy and progress that we are experiencing but hopefully this will help. It’s amazing what happens when you bring together a group of leadership with pay it forward attitudes and focus on building relationships and solving problems.

Whatever a nonprofit does, it usually has to confront this idea: you’re a nonprofit and not a business. As any non-profit knows though, it still has to make money for the cause and for operations, and marketing is key. Next weekend, some of Hawaii’s top advertising professionals will gather for AD UP Hawaii, an 8 hour competition to come up with campaigns benefiting several local nonprofits, including Kumu Kahua Theatre. Managing director Donna Blanchard joined the show to discuss the event and marketing challenges for non-profits.

“All of that was designed basically to encourage businesspeople to start giving back to the community and getting involved in leadership positions,” he says.

His newest project, Kokua.org, is an extension of Greater Good Inc., and seeks to unite individuals from various professions.
