Für soziale Organisationen ist der Zugang zur Zielgruppe das Fundament ihrer Arbeit. Dieser gelingt am besten mit einer gemeinsamen Sprache. Das Konzept der Einfachen Sprache kann hierbei sehr hilfreich sein. Wie man seine Kommunikation mit der Zielgruppe überprüfen und anpassen kann, zeigt unser „Handbuch Einfache Sprache“. Es ist entstanden aus den Erfahrungen mit unserem Projekt clarat. Und wir empfehlen es allen sozialen Organisationen zur Anwendung.
Well-managed charitable organizations in the social sector fine-tune their products and evolve on an ongoing basis. This sets them apart from their more traditional non-profit counterparts. Non-profit? Is this term valid anymore? – asks our guest author Roman R. Rüdiger.

Sometimes the German language falls short in distilling a key concept down to a single term. We faced this problem when describing the support that we give our organizations at Eleven. But after reading Eliza Smith’s blog post “What are capacity-building grants and why are they game changers?” we knew we’d finally found the right term: “capacity-building”.
The importance of outcomes as opposed to mere outputs often comes up in the discussion surrounding impact assessment and success-oriented support. What exactly do these terms refer to? An animated film explains all.
For some involved in the social sector, events are a welcome change. For others, they are a necessary evil. And yet others see them as the means to an end. We think most of them are a waste of time.
Conferences and events are essential to an open, free and democratic society, argues our guest author Alexander Thamm. The moderator and foundation expert responds to our stance on events in the social sector.
