143-507: Serious Request is a family of annual multi-day, multimedia fundraising events for International Red Cross initiatives, typically hosted by radio stations in the week before Christmas. The project was begun in 2004 by Dutch public pop music radio station 3FM . Serious Request projects have since been adopted in Belgium, Switzerland, Sweden, Kenya, South Korea, Austria, Latvia and Portugal. The DJs make an interactive, themed broadcast around

286-542: A financial endowment . Two characteristics set capital campaigns apart from other forms of fundraising activities. First, "the gifts solicited are much larger than those generally sought during an annual fund". Second, "pledges are emphasized as commitments payable over a number of years convenient to the donor or through the transfer of appreciated real or personal property ". Various types of capital campaigns have been identified. The traditional " brick and mortar " campaign, focused on building construction or improvements,

429-417: A chance to join the house again, and in the thirteenth season , with six potential housemates competing for two places in the main house. A dividing wall from the ninth season was reused in the fourteenth Brazilian season , when mothers and aunts of the housemates entered for International Women's Day and stayed in the house for 6 days, though they could not be seen by the housemates. Every season brings back

572-508: A connection with donors, often younger, engaged, and loyal. There are two dimensions to Fundraising – Donor Acquisition and Donor Retention. Donor Acquisition refers to acquiring or addition of new donors. Donor Retention, as the name implies, refers to retaining of existing donors. The efforts of the Fundraising team should be primarily focused on acquisition, while also ensuring that acquired donors are retained as happy repeat donors. It

715-414: A credit or debit card, while 12% prefer to give by bank/wire transfer, and only 8% choose to donate in cash. 51% of donors are enrolled in a recurring giving program with 87% of recurring donors opting to give monthly. Worldwide, 45% of donors donate to crowdfunding campaigns that benefit NPOs, 13% create online peer-to-peer fundraising campaigns to benefit NPOs, and 60% have donated to an NPO in response to

858-523: A day on 3FM. In the course of the event, a particular record began to stand out, because it was requested often, and it lifted the DJs' spirits. In 2004 this was " Galvanize " by the Chemical Brothers . Later editions have shown that this mechanism occurs every time – the particular track is then deemed the 'anthem' of that year's Serious Request. In its first year the project collected €915,955, and received

1001-574: A fundraiser) is an event or campaign whose primary purpose is to raise money for a cause, charity or non-profit organization . Fundraisers often benefit charitable, non-profit, religious, or non-governmental organizations , though there are also fundraisers that benefit for-profit companies and individuals. Special events are another method of raising funds. These range from formal dinners to benefit concerts to walkathons . Events are used to increase visibility and support for an organization as well as raising funds. Events can feature activities for

1144-399: A limited ration of food were provided, luxury items were often forbidden. This added a survivalist element to the show, increasing the potential for social tension. Nearly all later series provide a modern house for the contest with a Jacuzzi, sauna, VIP suite, loft , and other luxuries. The format has become an international TV franchise. While each country or region has its own variation,

1287-454: A longer fundraising program based on a long-term analysis of the organization's needs and direction. This form of campaign can wrap together capital projects, endowment and operating expenses as its purpose, and use a variety of fundraising activities, such as annual gift drives, which are "slower-paced and lack the intensity of the traditional capital campaign". Some non-profit organizations demonstrate greater accountability by showing donors

1430-577: A penalty. A similar punishment used on Big Brother Africa was called the Molotov Cocktail, Dagger or Fuse. The fifteenth American season allowed viewers to vote for a house guest to be made M.V.P., who then secretly nominates a third houseguest for eviction (in addition to the two selected by the Head of Household). In a further twist introduced part-way through the MVP twist, the viewers themselves decided who

1573-497: A person reacts from the outside (through the constant recording of their actions) and the inside (in the Diary or Confession Room). The Diary Room is where contestants can privately express their feelings about the game, strategy and the other contestants. The results range from violent or angry confrontations to genuine and tender connections (often including romantic interludes). In 2011, Brazilian sociologist Silvia Viana Rodrigues wrote

1716-1228: A place in the luxurious half. The Dutch version continued this concept to the end of its fourth season . Other versions later followed and introduced a similar concept, of which some have their own twists: Africa (in 2010 , 2011 , 2012 and 2013 ), Albania (in 2010 ), Australia (in 2003 and 2013 ), Balkan States (in VIP 2010 and 2011 ), Brazil ( 2009 –present), Canada ( 2013 –present), Denmark (in 2003 ), Finland (in 2009 and 2014 ), France (in 2009 , 2011 – 2017 ), Germany (in 2003 , 2004–05 , 2005–06 , 2008 , 2008–09 and since Celebrity 2014 ), Greece (in 2003 ), India (in 2012 and 2013 ), Israel (in 2009 ), Italy (in 2006 and 2007 ), Norway (in 2003 ), Philippines (in 2009 , Teen 2010 and 2011 ), Poland (in 2002 ), Portugal (in VIP 2013 and 2016 ), Slovakia (in 2005 ), Slovenia (in 2008 , 2015 and 2016 ), Scandinavia (in 2005 ), South Africa (in 2014 ), Spain (in VIP 2004 , 2008 , 2009–10 and 2010 ), United Kingdom (in 2002 , Celebrity 2007 , 2008 , Celebrity 2013 and 2016 ), United States ( 2009 –present) and Tamil Nadu, India ( 2023–24 ) In 2011–12,

1859-403: A popular fundraising method over the last few years due to its accessibility. Fundraising organizations are developing technical options like mobile apps and donate buttons to attract donors around the globe. Common online and mobile fundraising methods include online donation pages, text to give , mobile silent auctions, and peer to peer fundraising. Since 2016, online giving has grown by 17% in

2002-449: A public appeal. Many non-profit organizations solicit funds for a financial endowment , which is a sum of money that is invested to generate an annual return. Although endowments may be created when a sizable gift is received from an individual or family , often as directed in a will upon the death of a family member, they are more typically the result of many gifts over time from a variety of sources. A fundraising event (also called

2145-457: A refused order resulted in the nomination for eviction. If nobody picked up the call, the whole house would be nominated for eviction. Since Big Brother 2 , the British series has opened with a twist. This has included having potential Housemates being voted upon by the public for one to enter the house ( Big Brother 2 & Big Brother 13 ); public voting for least-favourite housemates, with

2288-511: A reward for winning at a task). In most versions of the program, books and writing materials are also forbidden, although exceptions are sometimes made for religious materials such as the Bible, Tanakh or the Qur'an . Some versions ban all writing implements, even items that can be used to write (such as lipstick or eyeliner). Despite the housemates' isolation, some contestants are occasionally allowed to leave

2431-458: A secret room in the house, the Revenge Room. Severi and Lind-Hansen could see who nominated them for eviction and were given the opportunity to wreak havoc upon the house and those who nominated them by constructing extravagant tasks for the housemates to complete and for making mess in the house when they were not looking. Severi and Lind-Hansen returned to the house in a live special on Day 10. In

2574-588: A secret room. In the adult edition of the tenth Philippine season , two housemates, and later three more, were fake evicted after failing in two different Ligtask challenges and temporarily stayed in the task room until the end of their weekly task. The concept of the fake-eviction was incorporated into the Australian series for the first time in the sixth Australian season , when housemates Camilla Severi and Anna Lind-Hansen were both fake-evicted in Day 8 and were moved into

2717-479: A separate prize of $ 100,000. However, in a reset twist, they opted to join the normal game alongside the other house guests. The seventh Argentine series incorporated a red button into the Confession Room, which would sound an alarm throughout the house. This button was to be used when a contestant wanted to leave the house voluntarily, and the contestant would be given five minutes to leave the house. A red button

2860-508: A series of categories based on the amount and frequency of donations. For instance, annual giving and recurring gifts represent the base of a fundraising pyramid. This would be followed by mid-level gifts, planned gifts, major gifts, and principal gifts. More sophisticated strategies use tools to overlay demographic and other market segmentation data against their database of donors in order to more precisely customize communication and more effectively target resources. Research by Peter Maple in

3003-427: A specially constructed house that is isolated from the outside world. The name is inspired by Big Brother from George Orwell 's novel Nineteen Eighty-Four , and the housemates are continuously monitored during their stay in the house by live television cameras as well as personal audio microphones. Throughout the course of the competition, they are voted out (usually on a weekly basis) until only one remains and wins

3146-529: A stricter budgetary policy; however, the public and many companies made up the difference, and the previous record was exceeded by several thousand euro. The theme song was BLØF 's " Wijd Open " ("Wide Open"), and the anthem and most requested song was Hello by Martin Solveig ft. Dragonette . After the last evening of the event, some money was still coming in, clocking in at a final €7,471,000. As in previous years Studio Brussel organized Music For Life, siting

3289-524: A stripped back-to-basic environment, evictions, weekly tasks and competitions set by Big Brother , and the "Diary Room" (or "Confession Room") where housemates convey their private thoughts to the camera and reveal their nominees for eviction. The first version of Big Brother was broadcast in 1999 on Veronica in the Netherlands . In the first season of Big Brother , the house was very basic. Although essential amenities such as running water, furniture, and

3432-450: A team to complete tasks (determined by public voting) for a cash reward; this continued for the entire season despite the eviction of a team member. The fourth Argentine series added a telephone in the living room. This telephone rang once a week for ten seconds, and the person to pick up the receiver was given an order or news from Big Brother (which typically no other housemate could hear). The order could be beneficial or detrimental, but

3575-581: A thesis at the University of São Paulo analyzing reality shows as spectacles that proliferate rituals of suffering. She analyzes such rituals in various cultural products from Hollywood and Brazilian television , with special attention to Big Brother Brasil . When investigating the openly eliminatory and cruel face of the game, Silvia Viana points out that such characteristics are liable to be entertainment with great and crucial public engagement because such processes of elimination, competition , exclusion,

3718-640: A total of €2,901,650 was raised, consisting of some €1.4 million donated by the public, €100,000 from the Flemish Government and another €1.4 million from the Federal government , that had pledged to match the public's gifts. Thus, the combined total for the Dutch and Belgian appeals amounted to €5,550,145. To raise additional money, a walkathon was organized. DJ Claudia de Breij walked with her sidekick , Hildedepilde ( Hilde Brontsema  [ nl ] ), from

3861-525: A way to recognize and promote employee volunteerism. A bequest is a gift that is written into a donor's will that is fulfilled after their death. These gifts can be written in the will itself or added as a codicil (addendum) after the main will has been ratified. These gifts are separated from individual giving by Giving USA to illustrate the importance of Planned Giving, which is a type of fundraising that focuses on asking donors to include charitable gifts in their estate plans. While fundraising often involves

4004-438: A €1,000,000 contribution from the Dutch government. The appeal was awarded the 2006 Gouden Radio-Oortje for best radio program of the year. The song Multiply by Jamie Lidell became the 'Serious Request anthem' for the edition. In 2006 Serious Request raised money for victims of land mines around the world, and for the first time a sister event was held in another country: neighbouring Belgium. From 19 to 24 December 2006,

4147-403: Is a common mistake to either over-burden existing donors with funding requests or under-serve them to the point of disengagement. For effective fundraising to occur, the systems and operations in place, including reporting, should be organized to ensure that both new and existing donors are not just satisfied, but delighted to support. According to Giving USA 2019, a study of charitable giving in

4290-541: Is also used in Secret Story series, however, in this case whoever presses the button will try to guess someone's secret. In Celebrity Hijack UK , evicted housemates were given the opportunity to choose if a "ninja" delivered good or bad gifts to the house.

4576-527: Is called planned giving . Charitable giving by individuals in the U.S. was estimated to be $ 286.65 billion in 2017. The established development programs at institutions of higher learning include prospect identification, prospect research and verification of the prospect's viability, cultivation, solicitation, and finally stewardship, the latter being the process of keeping donors informed about how past support has been used. When goods or professional services are donated to an organization rather than cash, this

4719-421: Is called an in-kind gift. A number of charities and non-profit organizations are increasingly using the internet as a means to raise funds; this practice is referred to as online fundraising. In addition, crowdfunding has begun to be used as a method to engage small-donation donors for small, specific opportunities. Comparing traditional and online fundraising, 55% of donors worldwide prefer to give online with

4862-465: Is not strictly considered fundraising, but rather the result of previous fundraising efforts' investment. The donor base (often called a "donor file" or simply "constituents") for higher education includes alumni, parents, friends, private foundations, and corporations. Gifts of appreciated property are important components of such efforts because the tax advantage they confer on the donor encourages larger gifts. The process of soliciting appreciated assets

5005-414: Is typically undertaken for one of two broad objectives: Opex (Operational Expenditure) or Capex (Capital Expenditure). Opex includes salary, overheads such as electricity, rent and transport, whereas Capex includes expenses such as infrastructure, equipment or supplies. Therefore, organizations raise funds to support capital projects, endowments, or operating expenses of current programs. Capital fundraising

5148-430: Is when fundraising is undertaken to raise major sums for a building or endowment; generally such funds are kept separate from operating funds. This is often done over a period of time (in a capital campaign) to encourage donors to give more than they would normally give and tap donors, especially corporations and foundations who would not otherwise give. A capital campaign normally begins with a private phase before launching

5291-449: The American version adopted a different format since the second season, where the contestants are encouraged to strategize to advance in the game; in this format, the contestants themselves vote to evict each other and a Jury of Evicted contestants vote for the winner. Occasionally, individual game twists and format changes may allow for some viewer voting, usually to give a game advantage to

5434-660: The Big Brother TV-house. Giel Beelen added that the occupants should endure some hardship to express solidarity, and therefore suggested fasting.

Some versions of the show allow private counselling sessions with a psychologist. These are allowed at any time and are often conducted by telephone from

5720-518: The eighteen Brazilian series , Gleici Damasceno was similarly fake evicted, put into a small private apartment, and returned after 72 hours with immunity from eviction and with the power to put someone to eviction. In the first Turkish series , there is a fake eviction in week 10. The Indian version Bigg Boss sees frequent fake evictions. In Bigg Boss Kannada season 4 , winner Pratham and co-contestant Malavika were kept in secret room after fake eviction for one week and they were both allowed in

5863-434: The fifth American season introduced twins who were tasked with secretly switching back and forth in the house; they were allowed to play the game as individual house guests after succeeding at the deception for four weeks. This twist was reused in the seventeenth American season without the deception element – the pair simply needed to survive five weeks without being evicted . HouseGuests who discovered this twist could use

6006-445: The fourth Bulgarian series , and an all-male premiere was used on Big Brother Africa 4 . The second Belgian season was used a similar twist in 2001, where eleven male housemates and one female housemate entered the house on launch night and the second female housemate entered the house on the third day. The fifth British series introduced fake evictions, where Big Brother misleads housemates that eviction has taken place, only for

6149-414: The seventh Argentine series added La Casa de al Lado ("The House Next Door"), a smaller, more luxurious house which served multiple functions. The first week it hosted 4 potential housemates, and the public voted for two of them to enter the main house.

6864-513: The Association of Fundraising Professionals' Fundraising Effectiveness Project suggests the sector has a long way to go in improving the quality of donor relations. The sector generally loses 50–60% of its newly acquired donors between their first and second donations and one in three, year on year thereafter. The economics of regular or sustained giving are rather different, but even then organizations routinely lose 30% of their donors from one year to

The Dutch 3FM Serious Request, and the new Swedish event Musikhjälpen , aimed to help the world's refugees in general, whereas the Belgian Glass House focused specifically on refugee mothers .

9438-470: The case of associations, direct marketing enhances the anonymity and intimacy of donations, but it can also serve as a tool for developing visibility and image.

This accountability may comes in the form of a vote, where the members select a specific program or charity that they would like their money to go to.

From a sociological and demographic perspective, Big Brother allows an analysis of how people react when forced into close confinement with people outside of their comfort zone (having different opinions or ideals, or from a different socioeconomic group). The viewer has the opportunity to see how

10725-496: The donation of money as an outright gift, money may also be generated by selling a product of some kind, also known as product fundraising .

Street fundraising involves recruiting new donors in public places, approaching them to introduce the association and propose support for its actions through assured automatic withdrawal donations.

11297-608: The edition, chosen by the DJs, was "Verliefdheid" by Dutch singer Jordy van Loon . Aside from the anthem, 2008 introduced a dedicated theme song, made specifically for the event by a music act, to be played regularly in the weeks leading up to the appeal, and to be used in promotional messages. In 2008 this was "Waiting So Long" by Belgian band Novastar . This year the Belgian glass house was moved to Ghent .

French Swiss radio station Couleur 3 in Geneva joined the appeal in 2007. The event was called Couleur Terre and its glass house was located on the rue de la Rôtisserie. In its first and only year, it collected CHF 252,000 (about €151,000)—entirely by playing requests. DJs Yann Zitouni, Émilie Gasc-Milesi and Michel Ndeze hosted

Bands were invited to play on the roof each evening, the best-known of which were the Editors . The bottom line for 2010

11869-488: The glass house was repaired. Contrary to their 2008 effort, this time fundraising was an objective; however, the achieved result was not made public. All five projects from 2009 were given a continuation, with varying themes relating to HIV/AIDS and children.

The Swiss theme were children in war zones and conflict areas, whereas

A week later, the houseguests were required to unanimously decide which of them to bring back into

12155-547: The group at the event by way of placing an ad-like page. Events and their associated fundraisers can be a major source of a group's revenue, visibility and donor relations.

The sixteenth American season featured "Team America", in which 3 houseguests were selected to work as

12870-453: The house. In 2004, the fifth British series introduced a villainous Big Brother with harsher punishments, such as taking away prize money, more difficult tasks and secret tricks. This concept has also been used in Australia, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Finland, Germany, Greece, Italy, the Netherlands, South America, Scandinavia , Serbia, Spain, Thailand, Philippines and Mexico. In 2004,

13013-510: The housemate. Such characters include Marsha the Moose (from BB Canada ) and Surly the Fish (from BB Australia ). The third Belgian season introduced a mole.

When the station then approached the Dutch Red Cross , they pleaded for help in matters overlooked by

13442-400: The last housemate becoming the Head of House ( Celebrity Big Brother 6 ). A common opening twist is to introduce only a cast of a single sex on the premiere of the show while having members of the opposite sex introduced over the next few days. The eighth British series first used this twist with an initial all-female house, adding a male housemate two days later. The same twist was used in

13585-532: The level of sexual explicitness allowed to be shown in broadcast and Internet-feed varies according to the country's broadcasting standards. Big Brother contestants are isolated in the house, without access to television, radio, or the Internet. They are not permitted routine communication with the outside world.

Some of

Radio station DRS 3 located the glass house again in Bern. The DJs were Nik Hartmann, Anic Lautenschlager and Tom Gisler. Samih Sawiris added 20 percent to

14157-432: The most common practice of American non-profits is to employ a staff person whose main responsibility is fund raising. This person is paid a salary like any other employee, and is usually a part of the top management staff of the organization. Some non-profit organizations nonetheless engage fundraisers who are paid a percentage of the funds they raise. In the United States, this ratio of funds retained to funds passed on to

14300-649: The most substantial fundraising efforts in the United States are conducted by colleges and universities. Commonly the fundraising, or "development" / "advancement," program, makes a distinction between annual fund appeals and major campaigns. Most institutions use professional development officers to conduct superior fundraising appeals for both the entire institution or individual colleges and departments (e.g. School of Art, School of Math, School of Science, etc... as well as campus institutions like athletics and libraries. ). The number of people involved, often having socialized at such "fund-raisings", will vary widely depending on

They weren't allowed to eat anything; instead, they drank water, juice, and other liquids to stay energized. In the Netherlands, the Serious Request broadcasts and the Glass House became a national December tradition, that reaches most of

14586-411: The national population. The 2012 edition was watched and listened to by 12.1 million people over the age of ten, or 84% of Dutch people in that age group. Overall, 88% of the people were aware of the event. From 2016 on, however, the general public's interest in the event, and therefore donations, were declining. From 2018 on, 3FM decided to abolish their Glass House and tried to bring the event closer to

14729-403: The news media, such as two million IDPs and refugees in the war-torn region of Darfur , Sudan . This was then made the cause for the first Serious Request radiothon from 20 to 24 December 2004, using the slogan Jouw druppel op een gloeiende plaat .

15015-647: The non-profit is subject to reporting to a number of state's Attorneys General or Secretaries of state . This ratio is highly variable and subject to change over time and place, and it is a point of contention between a segment of the general public and the non-profit organizations. The term 'professional fundraiser' is often legislated, referring to third-party firms whose services are contracted, whereas 'fundraising professionals' or development officers are typically individuals or staff at charitable non-profits. Although potentially confusing, it's important to note this distinction. Online and mobile fundraising had become

15444-424: The people by sending DJs of the radio station to travel the country on foot. The new formula is called The Lifeline. The precursor of the Serious Request formula was the 3FM Request on Tour . During the last three days of 2003, Dutch national pop music radio station 3FM sent a "Request bus" with DJ equipment and a sound system on a tour of the country. By playing requested songs in return for donations, money

15587-420: The plight of Internally displaced persons (IDPs). Instead of fundraising, the approach focused on solidarity. In 2009 all projects from 2008 received a new edition, and Switzerland returned with a new initiative: Jeder Rappen zählt , this time hosted by Radio SRF 3 in the country's German-speaking part . The year's five events all raised funds to fight malaria . The 2009 location for 3FM Serious Request

During these missions, one or more housemates are set a task from Big Brother with the reward of luxuries for the household and/or a personal reward if the task is successful. Some versions of Big Brother have secret tasks presented by another character who lives in plain sight of

16016-446: The project's bank account, and by physical visitors depositing cash and cheques into the house's letterbox. Additionally, members of the public run a variety of supporting initiatives, and in some cities, more glass houses are popping up.

Later in the season, a bubble was built inside the Big Brother house, with another two housemates living in it for a week until they were voted in and the glass house dismantled. The Glass House was reused in the eleventh season , featuring five evicted housemates competing for

16302-510: The services of professional fundraisers. These fundraisers may be paid for their services either through fees unrelated to the amounts of money to be raised, or by retaining a percentage of raised funds (percentage-based compensation). The latter approach is expressly forbidden under the Code of Ethics of the Association of Fundraising Professionals (AFP), a professional membership body. However, by far

16445-545: The show (who communicate with the housemates via the omnipresent authority figure known to them only as "Big Brother"). The tasks are designed to test their teamwork abilities and community spirit.

Bigg Boss of India has the most regional-based versions Hindi , Marathi , Tamil , Bengali , Telugu , Kannada and Malayalam language versions; Canada has French- and English-language versions; and

16874-422: The size of the institution they sponsor. Equally important are fundraising efforts by virtually all recognized religious groups throughout the world. These efforts are organized on a local, national, and global level. Sometimes, such funds will go exclusively toward assisting the basic needs of others, while money may at other times be used only for evangelism or proselytism . Usually, religious organizations mix

17017-545: The third consecutive appeal was held. As in the first two events, a glass house was built at the Neude in Utrecht. The year's slogan was: 30 miljoen landmijnen, daar kun je niet omheen (You can't get around 30 million land mines). Giel Beelen, Gerard Ekdom and Sander Lantinga were elected by listeners between 4 and 8 December to live in the house.

This fact, despite numerous campaign finance reform laws, continues to be a highly controversial topic in American politics. Political action committees (PACs) are the best-known organizations that back candidates and political parties , though others such as 527 groups also have an impact. Some advocacy organizations conduct fundraising for-or-against policy issues in an attempt to influence legislation. While public broadcasters are completely government-funded in much of

Contestants occasionally develop sexual relationships;

In the American version, each season there are three cash prizes: $ 750,000 for

In the United States less than 15% of local public broadcasting stations' funding comes from the federal government. Pledge drives , a type of annual giving, commonly occur about three times each year, usually lasting one to two weeks each time. Viewership and listenership often decline significantly during funding periods, so special programming may be aired in order to keep regular viewers and listeners interested. The techniques of direct marketing have been adapted in

18304-466: The year were Gerard Ekdom, Rob Stenders and Michiel Veenstra. Sander Lantinga and Giel Beelen, occupants of the house the previous year, decided not to enter the voting and were unavailable to be chosen - instead, they volunteered to do tasks or errands in return for donations.

19591-654: Was held in Kenya with the slogan "On the Run, but not Outta Sight". This was the first time the event was held in Africa. The Nairobi glass house was located on the grounds of the Kenyatta International Conference Centre ; the three presenters were Angela ‘Angel’ Wainaina, Rapcha the Sayantist and Muki Garang. Between 19 and 24 December 2008, their continued broadcast and interaction with visitors raised awareness for

19734-475: Was later published as a book. The show is notable for involving the Internet. Although the show typically broadcasts daily updates during the evening (sometimes criticized by viewers and former contestants for heavy editing by producers), viewers can also watch a continuous feed from multiple cameras on the Web in most countries.
