Gamifying National Blood Service of Latvia - Gamification CertificationNatalija Knaidele
Gamification Certification Level 2 Project for the Engagement Alliance
The key motivation for blood donors is intrinsic – people want to help others. Qualifying potential donors who are not intrinsically motivated, can be, to a degree, motivated extrinsically. Gamification can help with that by targeting potential donors with the use of appropriate game mechanics.
Whether you are a first-time executive director or you are new to your organization, how you start is vital to your success. Executive directors are commissioned to excel in leadership, operations, and funding. Leading an organization offers you an exhilarating experience with a powerful opportunity to leave a lasting impact.
Join Margaret Linnane, Executive Director of the Edyth Bush Institute for Philanthropy and Nonprofit Leadership, as she shares with you four tips every new nonprofit leader should consider. In this webinar, you will glean from Margaret’s years of experience in strengthening countless nonprofit organizations and leave with refreshed guidance to lead effectively.

Steve Kendall has worked in economic and community development in Local Councils across the UK for 34 years. His work has directly influenced investment decisions that have helped crate over 9,000 joins and attracted almost £100 million in Government Grants and Area Support.
Steve's current work in Leicester centres on the Dementia Cafe. The Dementia Cafe was born in 2011 out of recognition of a need for newly diagnosed people and their families to have a chance for 'coffee, cake, and conversation'. They cafe set up with little funding and continue to receive no funding from statutory organsiations.
Voluntary Action LeicesterShire (VAL) was delighted that Steve held a workshop for local Leicester and Leicestershire VCS organsiations as part of our 2013 Future Focus conference.
Steve's workshop covered the story of the Dementia Cafe and their future, looked at what they view as the key points to their success, and discussed how these key tips might apply to other organisations.
While the 2013 Future Focus conference is now over, VAL runs trainings and workshops like Steve's year-round. If you'd like to learn more about training for your organisation, visit www.Valoneline.org.uk.

Diamonds in the Rough: Finding The Best Donor Prospects Hidden In Your Datab...Bloomerang
https://bloomerang.co/resources/guides/a-beginners-guide-to-finding-the-best-donor-prospects-hidden-in-your-database/
Let’s face it: prospect research is difficult. Those who have mastered it are truly artists, but not every nonprofit has access to a dedicated professional. For those wearing multiple hats, wealth screening tools, social media, and good-old-fashioned Google searches can only get you so far. Even if you do find a rich stranger in your area, there’s no guarantee that they’ll drop a million bucks in your lap.
In this session, we’ll explore prospect research strategies that build deeper, more meaningful relationships with donors. Participants will learn engagement strategies that enhance existing relationships, as well as uncover those with a propensity to give to your organization for the first time.
Learning objectives:
How to get to know the donors you already have (and why you should want to)
What donors actually want from you
What factors signal a likelihood that a donor will give to your organization
How to find prospective donors that are right under your noses
How to leverage current donors to acquire new donors
Strategies for re-activating lapsed donors

Building Stronger Donor Relations SystemsColin Cumming
In recent years, phrases like “culture of philanthropy” and “donor centricity” have hit the field by storm, often with budget-breaking strategies for implementation and little information about where to start when one may not be a decision-maker. Thus at the Johnson Center for Philanthropy's Brown Bag Lunch & Learn Series, I facilitated a discussion about the importance of donor relations when it comes to long-term fundraising success and ethical fundraising practices. I also talked about the role of fundraising in the context of arts and cultural organizations.
The goal of the event was for participants to walk away with easy to understand ideas for their own organizations and volunteer roles. I discussed: Donor relations and fundraising from a historical perspective; How to integrate engaging donor relations practices into your fundraising program; Fund development challenges specific to membership-based organizations, arts and cultural organizations, and organizations that frequently request general operating funds.
This session explores the Fundraising Effectiveness Project report commissioned by AFP and the Urban Institute. The dismal news in this report can and should be an eye opener for every nonprofit engaged in fundraising.
We will focus on the root causes of poor retention rates, and offer tips for improvement based on the principles of Dr. Adrian Sargeant and Tom Ahern: two world-renowned authorities on building donor loyalty.

We will show examples of their principles in action. The results can be astounding when put into daily use!
Learning Outcomes:
Be familiar with current research on donor retention and how an increase or decrease can impact your bottom line
Understand how to calculate your donor retention rate
Learn new donor communications techniques in order to improve donor loyalty and retention

Apple & Google Up Their Philanthropic EffortsRobert Hornung
Robert Hornung publishes his newest presentation on Apple, Google, and other tech companies stepping up their game in regards to philanthropic efforts for giving.
Welcome to the Program Your Destiny course. In this course, we will be learning the technology of personal transformation, neuroassociative conditioning (NAC) as pioneered by Tony Robbins. NAC is used to deprogram negative neuroassociations that are causing approach avoidance and instead reprogram yourself with positive neuroassociations that lead to being approach automatic. In doing so, you change your destiny, moving towards unlocking the hypersocial self within, the true self free from fear and operating from a place of personal power and love.
2. • Recently I have personally noticed a difference in the level of
philanthropic deeds and charities starting out and accepting
volunteers and donations to spread good
• As you may or may not know I love to stay involved in my
community but constantly wonder what else I could do or what
else others are doing to combat difficult life events for others
• I’m always so happy and thankful when I hear the success stories
of charities and good works foundations when they positively
impact a whole community or just one person
• After looking into the changes within charities and philanthropic
organizations I noticed that people are tending to give more to
help others, be it money, time, or anything else
3. • To give you all a better idea of how I know giving is on the
rise I read up on a philanthropic forecasting service known as
Atlas of Giving
• Atlas of Giving tracks and predicts the level of giving for each
year and gives customers information to support trends
• Atlas actually calculated a fall in charitable gifts from last year
by 3.2%, it the loving support of people around the world
defied even Atlas
• For the mid-year checkup conducted by Atlas, they found that
giving had not only risen but went as high as 7.6%, which is
equivalent to a whopping $238.9 billion
4. • Why was the prediction so low according to Atlas
of Giving?
• Reports suggest that they were prepared for a
slowing stock market and a weaker economic
growth year
• Given there are a number of variables that could
affect giving due to less money able to be donated
but I believe the good in people will prevail over a
dip in economic growth or a stagnant stock market
5. • Philanthropic gifts from businesses, individuals, estates, and
foundations are highly expected to continue to grow
• Numerous organizations have reported on the increase in good
deeds and valuable contributions including Indiana University’s
Lilly Family School of Philanthropy and Marts & Lundy
• The organizations are pinpointing specific groups that are
primed to give back to their communities and other groups in
the near future
• Indiana University expects a strong rise in giving from
foundations that faced hardship by losses in the stock market
from the recession and recent downturns in investment banking
6. • The study conducted by Indiana University has
these foundations contributing to a 7.2%
increase in foundation grants and a 6.7%
increase next year
• The report goes on to say corporate giving will
rise 6% this year and 4.8% next year, gifts from
individuals will rise 4.4% and 4.1% for the next
two years, and gifts by estates to rise 2.7% this
year and 6.3% in 2016
7. • It is great to see that philanthropic deeds are
on the rise and are continuing to grow
• The various reports being submitted seem to
agree with each other that despite financial
downturns people, organizations, estates, and
foundations will all find some way to give back
