I’m loving The Agitator
Mar 23rd, 2007 by Jon Stahl
It’s been a while since I’ve fallen in love with a new blog (over-exposure breeds cynicism I suppose), but I’ve just been turned on to The Agitator and I’m head over heels for it.
The Agitator is the blog of Roger Craver and Tom Belford, both of the well-known DC-based fundraising/marketing consulting firm Craver Matthews Smith. What I love is that they’re not afraid to challenge “conventional wisdom” of the nonprofit sector with respect, integrity and data.
For example, their most recent post, “Just Write The Check, Please” eloquently and respectfully sums up their misgivings with donor-centric (rather than cause-centric) thinking, currently riding a wave of popularity.
Digging through their archives, they’ve clearly got a great track record of politely but credibly calling out well intentioned but less-than-excellent ideas and also highlighting the really good stuff that’s out there.
