Survivor

The Internet is revolutionizing the philanthropic world. A revolution entails significant, structural, and irreversible change. Since the late 1990s over 300 new Internet enterprises were born focused exclusively on generating donations, mobilizing volunteers, supplying information, and providing technical services to nonprofit organizations. The nonprofit sector was seen as an untapped frontier, and a new Internet industry was created, populated mostly with dot coms but also dot orgs. The euphoria of the explosive birth has now given way to the cold realities of the shakeout stage. Revolutions cause fatalities and cast forth the challenge of how to survive.
