After returning home from my seventeen month journey to all seven continents, my friends and colleagues had a welcome home reception in East Lansing, Michigan. The reception was a fundraiser for Habitat for Humanity and it was held at the Dublin Square Irish Pub. We raised over $10,000 in direct and in-kind resources that evening. My friend Robin Grinnell put together this slideshow of pictures from my trip and from my three Habitat for Humnaity Global Village Builds.
Inbound Marketing: The Latest Techniques to Attract More Donors, Volunteers, ...4Good.org
Nonprofits’ efforts to find supporters are rapidly being supplanted by the need for supporters to easily find you. Learn about specific, low-cost marketing and fundraising techniques that will drive more traffic to you online, and increase your “conversion rate” so more of them become donors, event attendees, and other supporters. We’ll examine how to implement inbound marketing by combining techniques like search engine optimization, pay-per-click, blogs, articles, websites, landing pages, calls to action, links, social media, and more to promote and leverage your content, boost online traffic, generate leads, and convert those leads into supporters. We’ll also discuss how to easily measure results to validate that your fundraising programs are working.
How Nonprofits Can Engage Their Volunteers Through Social MediaGreg Allbright
How can nonprofits engage their supporters online to carry the message and mission of the nonprofit to their connections.
The goal is to create compelling content that encourages and motivates supporters to comment and share this content with their own networks.
Nonprofit SIG: Maximizing Volunteer ImpactChicago AMA
Activating Volunteers from Supporters to Advocates was presented by ESC at the Nonprofit SIG event on July 18, 2013. ESC is a nonprofit consulting resource strengthening other nonprofits and public agencies to serve their missions.
Social marketing uses the benefits of doing social good to secure customer engagement.
In social marketing the distinguishing feature is its "primary focus on social good”
It is not a secondary outcome.
Not all public sector and not-for-profit marketing is social marketing.
And Social marketing is a non-profit marketing.
This plan gives a market analysis and outlines the organization's S-W-O-T. It also provides goals, objectives, strategy and tactics as the company proceeds into the new fiscal year. There is also a branding element to encourage company value and give an edge in the increasingly competitive market.
Be More Connected: Social Media Marketing Strategies for Non-ProfitsJulia Gorzka Freeman
What story are you going to tell? Marketing is about stories. The best are easy to relate to and easy to tell. With Social Media, Non-Profits have a new set of storytelling tools at their disposal. The challenge is to create a social media marketing strategy that maps on to organizational goals.
I gave this keynote presentation at WEDU's 4th Annual Be More Effective Workshop in Tampa September 9, 2009. "The mission of the nationally-recognized, award-winning Be More Awards program is to generate awareness for nonprofit organizations, champion those organizations' unsung heroes and celebrate the spirit of good will throughout the community."

It’s almost Thanksgiving and that means people (read: your prospective donors!) are looking back on the year with gratitude and renewed feelings of generosity. If you haven’t had the time to put together a year-end giving campaign, guess what? It’s not too late to pull one off! Kate Rose went over a step-by-step look at the importance of year-end giving, advice for setting the right goal, tips on choosing a theme, and guidance to find ways (through social media) to have a successful fundraising campaign to close out 2015. Watch the webinar recording here: http://socialmedia4nonprofits.org/its-not-too-late-close-out-2015-strong-with-year-end-giving/
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.
Watch the recording on our site: http://socialmedia4nonprofits.org/webinars/use-video-to-drive-donations
Cultivating community is a key way to keep a group in engaged around an idea or cause. In this session Regina Walton talked about building and growing community in a group that meets in person around a central idea: technology for social good. You'll learn about SFTech4Good, the largest of the many worldwide Netsquared groups and NTEN 501 Tech Clubs, and how they keep their member count growing, keep events fresh, and the tools they use to effectively communicate with their large and growing group.
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. This presentation from John Haydon will show you innovative ways to get more engagement on Facebook, from high-quality fans.
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. Stephanie St Martin showed #SM4NP Boston how to use tools like Twitter lists, find influencers, and find potential volunteers from those tweeting.
Creating a strategy for using social media is no longer optional for nonprofits. Social media tools include a fast-changing and constantly growing collection of web-based and mobile technologies. These tools turn formerly broadcast and one-way messages into an interactive conversation and can be hugely effective for social change organizations. In this session, Julia Campbell outlined the 11 steps that your organization can take to create a strategy and plan for your social media efforts. A little planning goes a long way!
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.
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?
In this 60 minute webinar with Jereme Bivins of The Rockefeller Foundation and Kimaya Dixit of Hattaway Communications, we explored how to use your organization’s best stories across channels for better outreach, fundraising, and impact reporting.
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.

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.
GDG Cloud Southlake #33: Boule & Rebala: Effective AppSec in SDLC using Deplo...James Anderson
Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).
Speakers:
Bob Boule
Robert Boule is a technology enthusiast with PASSION for technology and making things work along with a knack for helping others understand how things work. He comes with around 20 years of solution engineering experience in application security, software continuous delivery, and SaaS platforms. He is known for his dynamic presentations in CI/CD and application security integrated in software delivery lifecycle.
Gopinath Rebala
Gopinath Rebala is the CTO of OpsMx, where he has overall responsibility for the machine learning and data processing architectures for Secure Software Delivery. Gopi also has a strong connection with our customers, leading design and architecture for strategic implementations. Gopi is a frequent speaker and well-known leader in continuous delivery and integrating security into software delivery.

Here are three things you can get going on right now.To effectively use LinkedIn, you’ll need all three. Create a strong LinkedIn profile to establish your identity on LinkedIn. Connect with your existing board members so that you can see into their networks while you’re looking for new board membersAnd establish your nonprofit’s company page on the site
First, add a photo. This makes your profile 7 times more likely to be viewed and helps people see your profile as the real you.A headline is a short and sweet way to sum up who you are, and what you’re looking for. Here is an example of one nonprofit professional’s strong headline that makes a pretty great first impression.
Edit your profile to include your volunteering accomplishments, the causes you care about, and the specific organizations you support (especially yours!). Remember to get your colleagues, volunteers and other supports to do the same!
Step 2. Connect with existing board members. This might be the most important step in this entire process. The Taproot Foundation did a bunch of research that shows that board members are often the best connections to people and resources. And as you know, they are the ones who are responsible for helping you identify additional board members for your organization. We strongly recommend that you connect with them, your staff, your donors and your volunteers. Let’s talk about these degrees of connections for a moment. I’m the green bubble Meg and I are connected, so she’s in this dark grey circle Meg is connected to Joe, which makes Joe my second degree connection, and means I can reach out to Joe and anyone else in Meg’s network. Joe’s connections are my third degree network And there’s no need to count beyond that.
OK so we’ve talked about your profile, we’ve also talked about the importance of connecting with your board, now let’s talk about the final step you can take which is creating or improving your company page. Just one point of clarification here, Company Page is really just a name for the tool. All organizations have company pages, including nonprofits, so don’t let the word “Company” throw you off.Create your nonprofit’s company page. This is a very important step because professionals on LinkedIn will look to your company to learn about your nonprofit. When organizations don’t have company pages, LinkedIn members frequently question the legitimacy of the organization. So you’re best off avoiding that by building a strong company page. To do that, be sure to add an image, your logo, and a description of the organization3. Your community of supporters, the number of followers on your company page, also shows the world that you are a real organization. And the strength and networks of those followers also say a lot. So definitely invite your board members and supporters to follow your company page. 4. Finally, you should post frequent updates on your page, and ask your members and supporters to re-share those updates. Most action on LinkedIn is driven by one member seeing the updates of another member. So when your board members re-share your updates, they are increasing the chances of their networks learning about your organization and potentially following your page as well.

On Wednesday, January 15th, LinkedIn launched a volunteer marketplace in partnership with taproot, catchafire, volunteermatch, and board source. You can now post you volunteer and board opportunities on LinkedIn at a 90% discount on the price of a standard job posting in your region. And since it’s brand new and you’re going through our webinar, you’ll each receive a posting guide with a link for 5 free board postings.
We all know how important a high quality Board is to the success of any organization – for-profit or non-profit. LinkedIn for Good recognized this and created a program called Board Member Connect, that allows nonprofits free access to LinkedIn’s “Advanced Search” tool to find high quality Board Members quickly. In order to participate in this program, you need to sign up for an introductory (monthly) webinar at nonprofits.linkedin.com. This will teach you how to use the tools and make the most out of the program. But to give you a better sense of how tremendous this program is here’s how it works: Board Member Connect allows you to search for the key attributes you need in your next Board Member(s) – i.e. location, expertise, years of experience, employer, etc. So let’s say you’re looking for a senior marketing expert with digital marketing experience and you’re looking to build your connections in the tech/internet industry.
And then move on to complete a profile for the type of talent needed for your pro bono project. You will see LinkedIn is asking for standard job listing information – position title, level of experience and functional area. Once you get to the description field, you will want to pull from the detailed scope of work you created.

Using Advanced Search, you can search the entire LinkedIn network based on the exact profile you are looking for. Instead of spending time playing the “who do you know” game, search intelligently with premium search filters such as years of experience and job function.We’ve heard LinkedIn described by a nonprofit as the database they wish they had. It’s easy to see why when you use the Advanced Search tool.The results pop up and you can very quickly see how closely you are connected to the highest ranked possibilities, and find out the best way to introduce yourself. You can reach out directly through an “InMail”, or take advantage of your network for a facilitated introduction. (If you reach out cold, just remember to keep it short and ask for a phone call to explore the possibility).

Here are search results.Let me walk you through some of these areas of the page. On the left hand you can change the search criteria – see just like booking a flight on Kayak– by area industry, seniority and company. search facets with the gold icon are the premium search facets that you only have access to with premium accounts like Talent Finder. You also have management tools that allow you to save and organize the searchesYou can also see full profies for 3rddegere connections so you can really get a sense of who they are before messagingAnd finally, one click inmail – to either contact them directly or ask to get introduced through the mutual connection.

MANAGEMENT PRINCIPLESWith 10 years of experience managing pro bono projects, we’ve narrowed it down to these 5 guiding principles:1. Be prepared to invest time – and track the time you spend so you can gauge your return on investment.2. Act like a paying client – check in regularly, hold the team accountable to meeting deadlines, give and receive feedback.3. Foster effective communications among your internal team – keep them up to date, even if they aren’t involved in day-to-day project decisions.4. Create the space for the consultant team to share all news: both good and bad.5. Celebrate before, during, and after the project is complete – remember, recognition is one form of payment for your consultant team.
