So many of us do a great job telling the impact of scholarship funds on our organizations. We tell sweeping stories of the impact of a new building. But how do we tell the story of unrestricted or annual fund donors, those which we know are the most important but whose gifts we don’t steward well. Regardless of gift size, today’s annual fund donors expect more than a gift receipt acknowledging their contribution. Donors are looking to see the impact their philanthropy, and including the collective resources of the annual fund, are having on the institution. As we recognize that retaining donors is essential for long-term success, creating robust stewardship programs for your annual fund gifts across all levels is mission critical. In this session, we will explore the various messages and channels that have proven to be effective stewardship as we work to keep these donors engaged.

"Email marketing to support year-end online fundraising efforts" - Presentation from the 2014 Money for our Movement Conference in Baltimore, http://bit.ly/MFOM2014 Workshop description: Email is not dead; it’s one of the most powerful, low-cost tools that nonprofits can use to communicate with their donors. Nonprofits often make the mistake of waiting until the end of the year to ask for support, but there’s a lot they can be doing year-round to ensure “the ask” is not a cold one. Learn how to leverage email marketing for fundraising, recent nonprofit benchmarks, and how to get started in your organization.

Presentation given at the 2017 Future of Social Media: Government & Public Sector Forum in Canberra. There are now more people who access Facebook than pay tax in Australia, and over 2 billion people use just that one platform – Facebook – worldwide. But does that mean the greatest opportunities for government lie simply in having a presence and engaging citizens or customers on a range of social media channels? No – it doesn’t. In fact, a focus on channels only leads both to a disappointing customer experience, and disappointing outcomes for government. The real opportunity lies in the development of social capabilities: building an individual or team’s capacity to use social data, technologies and knowledge of consumer behaviours to drive decision making at all levels across government. Rather than using social media channels to communicate government policy and outcomes, social capabilities simply get the job done.

What is the role of social for government?
