Youth vote and tech guru Mike Connery has posted his own post mortem on the Facebook Causes Giving Challenge at techPresident (and his own blog, Future Majority). I agree with Connery’s conclusion:
Most pertinent to youth organizers, this contest and any future iterations provides a model for organizational development that can at least begin overcome one of the most significant hurdles to sustainable youth organizing – building a donor base out of a young membership with huge amounts of disposable income, but very little willingness to spend it on political/activist causes. Very impressive all around, and certainly something to watch in the future.
