Want some great reasons for your charity to take any and all non-cash donations? Wonder why other charities seem to increase their fundraising in good years and bad years, quickly build up their endowments, have the resources they need? Well, find out in the webinar. Here’s the real story:
This is personal. Russ’s wife was diagnosed with a rare terminal disease some years ago. She owes her life to the extraordinary work of the charity that supports her illness. That charity has had the resources to provide so much because it takes advantage of almost anything a generous donor wants to contribute.
That got Russ to thinking: What if the charity had not taken those donations? Would his wife and other needy people still be alive? Would she be doing as well as she is doing? Why are charities leaving so much money on the table? If 90% of the wealth is not cash, why shouldn't charities be thinking out of the (cash) box? What would it do for the world if all charities took advantage of the 90% of wealth that donors want to contribute?

On Sept. 21, 2010, Mr. Jet Li and the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC) formally announced that Jet Li has become a Goodwill Ambassador for the IFRC, marking the first time in history that the international humanitarian organization has granted such an appointment.
Mr. Li has always believed that humanity is one big family, and that we must all do our part to make this family better. In this spirit, he founded One Foundation in 2006. As a 21st century non-profit organization, One Foundation seeks to encourage social sector development and broad-based participation in philanthropy as a way of life.

Mr. Li also deeply respects the core principles and mission of the Red Cross Red Crescent Movement, especially its spirit of “Humanity, Universal Fraternity and Devotion.” In becoming a Goodwill Ambassador for the IFRC, Mr. Li builds upon his extensive relationship with the Red Cross Red Crescent Movement, having served as “Philanthropic Ambassador” for the Red Cross Society of China since 2006.
As Goodwill Ambassador, Mr. Li would like to share One Foundation’s experience and philanthropic model with the rest of the world. Each country’s Red Cross and Red Crescent societies are welcome to extract any useful lessons and adapt them to suit their particular culture, customs and needs. In sharing his ideas and experience, Mr. Li hopes to support the IFRC’s noble humanitarian goals, as well as strengthen international cooperation and caring as one global human family.

This included electing a board comprised of active members. Centro also established membership and flexible team structures to promote community empowerment and participation in decision-making. As a result, Centro became more responsive to its constituents and a stronger advocate for immigrant rights.

This document summarizes a presentation about measuring return on engagement (ROE) from social media activities. It discusses defining measurable goals and designing activities to meet those goals. Status metrics like followers and likes are distinguished from engagement metrics that reflect impact and influence.

The presentation provides templates for tracking metrics and examples of analyzing ROE for nonprofit campaigns. Overall it provides a framework for nonprofits to measure the impact of social media in achieving their goals.
Volunteering is generally considered an altruistic activity, intended to promote good or improve human quality of life, but people also volunteer for their own skill development, to meet others, to make contacts for possible employment, to have fun, and a variety of other reasons that could be considered self-serving.
It’s simple: staff and volunteers each have expectations. If these expectations are the same, all has the potential to go well, but what if they are different?
This webinar will address who your volunteers are, their importance and how to establish a productive working and rewarding volunteer – staff relationship. It takes energy and time, but holds the promise of a huge win-win for all parties involved.
Social media can help nonprofits increase their reach and engage supporters in their causes. An effective social media strategy involves researching target audiences to understand their barriers and motivations. The strategy is then based on this research and uses social media tools to achieve specific organizational goals. It works to shrink the marketing funnel by involving supporters earlier and keeping them engaged throughout the customer journey from awareness to advocacy. The strategy should include defining goals, conducting audience research, and outlining the communications approach across different social media channels and over time.

The topics to be covered include elements of fundraising success, sharing experiences, and a question and answer session. A quiz is provided to assess fundraising preparedness.

Participants are asked to reflect on what they are unwilling to give up to achieve their deepest organizational desires.
Dorothy Donor, the traditional charitable donor, is declining as older generations age. Younger generations like Generation X and Y engage differently and prefer digital methods. Charities must understand different age cohorts and meet audiences where they are. New events like outdoor yoga or skinny dipping can create buzz. Innovation is key to engaging digital natives and replacing declining legacy income. The challenge is understanding audiences and delivering the right offerings through the preferred channels of each generation.
Wendy Dyer presented at the 2013 Nonprofit Sustainability Conference on building a culture of fundraising. In her presentation, she made several key points:
1) She argued that nonprofits should stop thinking of people as poor and unable to donate, and instead recognize that people want opportunities to do good and be heroes.
2) She highlighted statistics showing the power of individual donations, totaling over $300 billion in 2011, and challenged nonprofits to better engage donors and think more broadly about fundraising.
3) She predicted that predictive analytics, collaborations, higher competition for funds, and a shift toward transformational philanthropy focused on outcomes and innovation will reshape traditional nonprofit fundraising.

The document uses examples and exercises to illustrate each essential, emphasizing the importance of understanding donors, communicating impact clearly, and learning from both successes and failures.

Building your brand – A practical guide for nonprofit organizations4Good.org
This "brand 101″ session is designed to help nonprofit leadership and board members understand the basic concepts around developing and maintaining a strong brand.
Many entrepreneurs – social, triple bottom line or otherwise – do not avail themselves of all potential capital sources when seeking funding to grow or scale, limiting prospects to cash flow their initiatives. This seminar explores a range of options for funding: external in the marketplace, internal within an organization, new ideas and classics not to overlook.
Most nonprofits involve volunteers in program areas and administrative areas. You might not be aware, however, of the many ways you can involve volunteers in your fundraising activities. This webinar will outline ways you can involve volunteers in fundraising, where to find volunteers, how to recruit them, and how to keep them enthused about your organization.
Could your mission statement describe any of several other organizations that are similar to yours? Do you just haul it out once a year for your annual report and 990? If you’ve been around for many years, you’re clear about your nonprofit’s value to your community, your stakeholders and/or your cause, why bother to revisit your mission statement?

Nonprofit Blogging Best Practices: Why Your Nonprofit Needs a Blog and How to...4Good.org
Despite the popularity of social media including “micro-blogging” sites like Tumblr and twitter, traditional blogging is still one of the most important tools in your digital marketing arsenal.
Larger nonprofits have been early adopters of blogging, seeing the benefits in increased website traffic, email sign ups and online donations. A consistent, quality blog has been proven to have a direct benefit on marketing and fundraising efforts – so why do so many nonprofits ignore this powerful tool?
The question remains: How can smaller nonprofits get on board with blogging and create a dynamic outlet that grows their supporters and helps them accomplish their goals?
Why are some nonprofits successful at attracting funding while others struggle? How do funders differentiate between the myriad of nonprofits that want their money? How has the process of successfully approaching funders changed?

Four Great Hormones to Stimulate Well-Being4Good.org
Recent neuroscience research has verified that the well-being that comes from meaningful conversations depends upon four hormones that we have the ability to either stimulate or depress in ourselves and in others. This Webinar will deal with the four and explain their role in personal and interpersonal well-being.
What do you do when someone signs up for your email list or donates to your organization? Do they have to wait until your next “monthly” newsletter to learn more about who you are and what you do? If so, you are missing out on a huge opportunity to engage, inspire and motivate your supporters to take action.
One of the best ways to engage with new subscribers (or new donors for that matter) is to create what is called a “Welcome Series” of emails. These emails are set to automatically be sent to the individual over the course of a few weeks – Day 1 they get an email, day 4 they get another email, day 8 they get yet another email, etc. These emails are designed to introduce yourself and your organization to the individual, as well as show them the impact your organization is having and why they should stay connected.
Sounds like a great idea and something all nonprofits should be doing right? The problem is that most nonprofits are not currently using a Welcome Series and are missing out on this powerful tool. If this includes your organization, then join us for this jam-packed webinar where we highlight a number of successful strategies and tactics you can start using immediately including:
- Why a Welcome Series is so powerful (Its all about the relationship)
- How to create an engaging and compelling Welcome Series
- How and why you should have multiple Welcome Series’ – subscribers, donors, attendees, etc.
- How a Welcome Series can increase your donor retention
On Today's Menu: Your Successful Grant Proposal4Good.org
The document outlines steps for writing a successful grant proposal, including understanding your organization's purposes and priorities, knowing your readers at funding organizations, and refining your messages to appeal to readers. It also provides tips for grant writing such as telling impactful stories, engaging readers emotionally, and focusing on clarity and conciseness. The presentation aims to help non-profits strengthen their grant proposals.
Mission and Leadership: Work Motivation That Strikes a Chord4Good.org
Most organizations have a formalized mission statement. Too often it is merely posted on a wall in the conference room. Often, employees grow cynical and state that the organization’s mission statement is just that: an empty statement. However, other organizations follow a structured process that allows their managers to lead with integrity while using the core principles of mission-driven organizations.
In this extremely practical presentation, that Dr. Eyal Ronen has never shared in the past, he will describe the practical steps to creating a clear mission, vision, and values for the organization. He will also describe the 4 things every leader must do in order to be effective in accomplishing his or her, and the organization’s mission.
Affordable Special Events Data Tracking and Analysis4Good.org
Special events can be complex and in the process of planning a perfect event, details can be missed. Using data to track the ways in which people participated in the event can help you determine what worked, what didn't work and what people are responding to about your event.
Have You Been Sequestered?—Developing Diverse Sources of Revenue4Good.org
Many nonprofits are excessively dependent upon a single type of revenue. The classic example is the organization which is only funded through government contracts or grants. Others may be totally reliant upon one or two private foundations or local corporations. In this webinar, volunteer leaders, agency CEO's and chief development officers will learn the value of diversifying the sources of revenue so as to enhance financial sustainability.
Practical Strategies for Writing the Annual Appeal4Good.org
The document provides strategies for writing an effective annual fundraising appeal, including understanding donor motivations, writing the appeal as a personal visit, and addressing donor questions and benefits. It outlines the components of a direct mail appeal and characteristics of effective appeals, such as a compelling envelope, reply device, return envelope, and telling a story to show donor benefits. Nonprofit organizations are encouraged to consider donor psychology and needs when crafting appeals to increase response rates.

• “Oprah factor” – charities feel what

• Perceived lack of time, expertise, resources
• Legitimate concern about complexity and risk
• Misunderstandings about what can and can’t be done as a

donation if possible, split the proceeds
with you

true
