140 characters and a constant feed can seem like a waste of time. But, if you know how to navigate the good from the stuff that’s for the birds, you can definitely find a pipeline.

You see the potential that Facebook offers for engaging supporters and creating more exposure for your nonprofit. But with declining reach, and more competition in the newsfeed, reaching your supporters is more challenging than ever before.

Stories have the power to spark movements, raise armies of volunteers, and even change the world. But stories with impact don’t just happen—they require intention and heart. So once you have the right story, how can you make the most of it across social media?

What Social Media Analytics Can't Tell You (SXSW Interactive 2014)Vision Critical
Social media analytics can help you understand the active members of your social media audience, but what about the people who aren't posting? How do you fill in the gaps in your analytics with insight into your customers' purchases, your fans' offline interests, or your users' reasons for liking what they like?
Find a new way of tackling these questions in a session that shares a new approach to social media insight, and see how some of the web's leading thinkers are answering their research questions by combining social media analytics with survey data. Find out how this brings new insight to a 90,000-person study of the collaborative economy; how it enhances what we know about online fundraising; and what it tells Discovery about how social media users watch TV. Whether you're looking for fresh insight on what makes social media users tick, or trying to expand your own monitoring and analytics program, this session will give you a first look at the latest data and research methods.

Now that social media channels are a part of the fabric of how we communicate, nonprofits are looking beyond shiny social tools to understand the value of community. Learn strategies from Megan Keane for setting up organizational processes to create a culture of engagement at your organization and find quantifiable ways community can contribute to your mission and impact.
Maybe your organization has used texting since we were playing Snake on our phones. Or maybe you’re just now struggling with how to start an SMS program and integrate it with your website, social media, and app strategy. This session with Sam McKelvie will help nonprofits at any level think about innovative ways that SMS can advance their organization’s mission and how to overcome common obstacles to growing a mobile program. We’ll launch in to the best use cases for engaging supporters/donors and review tactics for using SMS to better reach the populations that your organization serves. This interactive session will also give you a chance to develop new ideas for acquiring subscribers and expanding their interaction with your nonprofit.
Explore the generational, cultural, and technological revolution that's changing our world and learn tactical skills that will increase the effectiveness and sustainability of your fundraising strategies. Roderick Campbell, one of Silicon Valley's brightest social-impact entrepreneurs, will be your unpredictable and amusing guide.
In an increasingly noisy world, we all face a big challenge in making sure our messages are clearly heard. In this session, Anita Jackson talked about how to effectively use social media strategies to complement your movement building work. She talked about which tools help you reach your goals, how to find the audiences you seek, and how to leverage your limited capacity for the greatest impact.
Did you know that 8 out of 10 donors say that online reviews influence their giving decision? If you are a great nonprofit waiting to be discovered, build social proof around it by putting it in front of the right early supporters and create marketing campaigns designed to be shareable. Use it to find new supporters and remind existing supporters why they made a smart choice. In the age of the social web, social proof is the new marketing.
Sending a text message is the easiest way for new supporters to connect with your cause. Nick Allen talked about how to maximize mobile donations and how mobile activist networks run by organizations like the Humane Society and No Kid Hungry are recruiting new supporters. Nick also shared the first US test of a mobile strategy that’s recruited thousands of new monthly donors in the UK by inviting people to send a text message for info, triggering a phone call from the nonprofit.
We’ve all felt the emotional pull of a great video. Videos can convey messages, emotions and impact in seconds. Now, with social media platforms seamlessly integrating video, it’s more important than ever for nonprofits to understand how to leverage this powerful tool. In this very tactical session, Michael Hoffman of See3 Communications shared the best practices for incorporating video into your communications strategy and across social media platforms, with a focus on how it can be used to help make an impact on your year-end fundraising.

Online engagement campaigns are a test for both the organization and its fans, a learning moment, and a check/balance of how you are crafting meaningful ties with your stakeholders. In this session at #SM4NP Boston, Debra Askanase profiled successful online engagement campaigns, breaking down the essential ingredients of preparation, design, execution and measurement.
Crowd-funding for #GivingTuesday, the global day of giving back to launch the holiday season, has fast become a cornerstone of fundraising. These slides from a #SM4NP webinar with Leo Buc and Bre DiGiammarino will give you practical and tactical resources for making it a success.
The data doesn’t lie, the mobile era is upon us. But how do you go beyond the data to make mobile work for your nonprofit? Learn from Ethan Kearns of the Nature Conservancy about many of the real life examples of mobile adoption and understand specific ways to go beyond the surface level statistics to fully grasp the mobile potential.
Connections matter. Often it is easiest to connect with other people like us, but being able to build relationships across differences and learn from different perspectives is powerful. Discover how to use Twitter chats (or any social platform) to cultivate conversations which amplify your message and increase impact for your constituents. Dorothy Ponton gave this presentation at #SM4NP Silicon Valley.
Do you ever feel like messaging decisions are made in a vacuum at your organization? Some simple testing can make the difference in connecting with your target audience. Learn from Marcia Silva how the Second Harvest Food Bank leveraged a small budget on Facebook Ads to test branding elements, as well as how the data helped them tighten their 2015 childhood hunger messages and improve campaign results.
You’ve heard it over and over again: storytelling gets you more donations. It’s actually easier than you think to create a compelling story. Fairy tales, fireside stories, and your favorite Hollywood movies all follow the tried and true storylines every popular story follows. In this session, Rob Wu, CEO of CauseVox, walked through three storylines that you can use for nonprofit fundraising, and to help you understand how to repurpose storylines for your nonprofit at #SM4NP Silicon Valley.
While content creation is a top priority for most nonprofits, a huge challenge is distribution. When thinking about how to get your amazing content beyond your existing network, consider this: the top 5% of supporters in your CRM, on average, have a reach 200 times greater than your entire email file. These social media influencers not only help extend the reach of your amazing content, but expose more people to your good work. Cheryl Contee, CEO of Fission and Co-Founder of Attentive.ly, explored how to identify your influencers, the best sharable content and how to get them talking about your campaigns at #SM4NP Silicon Valley.
Any amount of money you spend on marketing should be treated like an investment because every dollar counts. So, how do you raise the relevance of your cause with the budget (even if it’s a small one) you have? On September 9th 2015, Julia McDowell, Vice President of Williams Whittle, joined us for 60-minute webinar to give you an in-depth look at how to mix traditional media and online media, like public service announcements (PSAs) and social, to gain access to powerful media like television and radio on a serious budget.

Can a film help your non-profit? A great video can make you, a bad video can break you, but the most likely scenario is that barely anyone will watch it. That doesn’t have to be the case. Mat Hames, President and Creative Director of Alpheus Media looked at the most successful non-profit films, and analyzed what worked. We’ll also looked at some well-done non-profit films with less of an impact. We saw nine themes emerge about successful, impactful videos, and saw the best non-profit stories recently told on Instagram, YouTube, Vimeo, Facebook, Vine, and other channels.
Everyone is looking for the next Tweet heard round the world, magical meme or have-to-have hashtag, but every communication begins simply—with a story. Everyone has a story. Communities come together around shared stories. In this session, Christian Clarke Cásarez from the Austin Independent School District examined how nonprofits are using strategic storytelling to build their communities. She reviewed practical tips to help strengthen your own storytelling through meaningful messages that inform and inspire your communities.
We all have them. Those ardent supporters who help spread the word about our good works. The ones who share our stories by using their voice. It’s essential to recognize their passion while keeping them motivated to continue conversations. In this session, Tina Snider, the Director of Communications from Ronald McDonald House Charities of Central Texas, explored simple, creative strategies to honor ambassadors who along the way help us build relationships.
Exploring Factors Affecting the Success of TVET-Industry Partnership: A Case ...AJHSSR Journal
ABSTRACT: The purpose of this study was to explore factors affecting the success of TVET-industry
partnerships. A case study design of the qualitative research method was used to achieve this objective. For the
study, one polytechnic college of Oromia regional state, and two industries were purposively selected. From the
sample polytechnic college and industries, a total of 17 sample respondents were selected. Out of 17
respondents, 10 respondents were selected using the snowball sampling method, and the rest 7 respondents were
selected using the purposive sampling technique. The qualitative data were collected through an in-depth
interview and document analysis. The data were analyzed using thematic approaches. The findings revealed that
TVET-industry partnerships were found weak. Lack of key stakeholder‟s awareness shortage of improved
training equipment and machines in polytechnic colleges, absence of trainee health insurance policy, lack of
incentive mechanisms for private industries, lack of employer industries involvement in designing and
developing occupational standards, and preparation of curriculum were some of the impediments of TVETindustry partnership. Based on the findings it was recommended that the Oromia TVET bureau in collaboration
with other relevant concerned regional authorities and TVET colleges, set new strategies for creating strong
awareness for industries, companies, and other relevant stakeholders on the purpose and advantages of
implementing successful TVET-industry partnership. Finally, the Oromia regional government in collaboration
with the TVET bureau needs to create policy-supported incentive strategies such as giving occasional privileges
of duty-free import, tax reduction, and regional government recognition awards based on the level of partnership
contribution to TVET institutions in promoting TVET-industry partnership.

The Challenges of Good Governance and Project Implementation in Nigeria: A Re...AJHSSR Journal
ABSTRACT : This study reveals that systemic corruption and other factors including poor leadership,
leadership recruitment processes, ethnic and regional politics, tribalism and mediocrity, poor planning, and
variation of project design have been the causative factors that undermine projects implementation in postindependence African states, particularly in Nigeria. The study, thus, argued that successive governments of
African states, using Nigeria as a case study, have been deeply engrossed in this obnoxious practice that has
undermined infrastructure sector development as well as enthroned impoverishment and mass poverty in these
African countries. This study, therefore, is posed to examine the similarities in causative factors, effects and
consequences of corruption and how it affects governance, projects implementation and national growth. To
achieve this, the study adopted historical research design which is qualitative and explorative in nature. The
study among others suggests that the governments of developing countries should shun corruption and other
forms of obnoxious practices in order to operate effective and efficient systems that promote good governance
and ensure there is adequate projects implementation which are the attributes of a responsible government and
good leadership. Policy makers should also prioritize policy objectives and competence to ensure that policies
are fully implemented within stipulated time frame.

Non-Financial Information and Firm Risk Non-Financial Information and Firm RiskAJHSSR Journal
ABSTRACT: This research aims to examine how ESG disclosure and risk disclosure affect the total risk of
companies. Using cross section data from 355 companies listed in Indonesia Stock Exchange, data regarding
ESG disclosure and risk was collected. In this research, ESG and risk disclosures are measured based on content
analysis using GRI 4 guidelines for ESG disclosures and COSO ERM for risk disclosures. Using multiple
regression, it is concluded that only risk disclosure can reduce the company's total risk, while ESG disclosure
cannot affect the company's total risk. This shows that only risk disclosure is relevant in determining a
company's total risk.

ABSTRACT: Although a significant amount of literature exists on Morocco's migration policies and their
successes and failures since their implementation in 2014, there is limited research on the integration of subSaharan African children into schools. This paperis part of a Ph.D. research project that aims to fill this gap. It
reports the main findings of a study conducted with migrant children enrolled in two public schools in Rabat,
Morocco, exploring how integration is defined by the children themselves and identifying the obstacles that they
have encountered thus far. The following paper uses an inductive approach and primarily focuses on the
relationships of children with their teachers and peers as a key aspect of integration for students with a migration
background. The study has led to several crucial findings. It emphasizes the significance of speaking Colloquial
Moroccan Arabic (Darija) and being part of a community for effective integration. Moreover, it reveals that the
use of Modern Standard Arabic as the language of instruction in schools is a source of frustration for students,
indicating the need for language policy reform. The study underlines the importanceof considering the
children‟s agency when being integrated into mainstream public schools.

5. 1. Create a Committee.
You cannot do this in a
silo. Won’t work.
Who in your organization
(staff, volunteers, clients)
likes social media?
Who is creative?
Who has their pulse on
the latest news?
Who is well-connected?
Who is passionate?
@JuliaCSocial #SM4NP

The key is to get a group of
people thinking through
a social media lens.

want?
Where do they get their information?
What else is important to them?
Where do they spend their time online?
