The document discusses Conservation Council of SA's use of Facebook ads for their "Places You Love" campaign. It found that while the ads increased total likes, it did not increase engagement per like. Managing the larger community attracted by the ads was challenging. The organization also had to change strategies to avoid alienating the original community or attracting inappropriate new members. Overall, ads helped growth but good content and knowing your community are more important.

The document discusses challenges faced by NGO directors in managing projects funded by donors. It summarizes comments from two directors: 1) One director notes donors demand task-focused work which limits engagement with communities. 2) Another director states monitoring focuses on spending and outputs rather than social impact or reflection. The document advocates for monitoring by providers and recipients to assess long-term effects rather than just outputs. It promotes international assistance as expanding options for positive change through engagement rather than causing change directly. Finally, it asks how listeners can apply lessons around participation, social development and long-term impact to their own work.

You’ve dipped your toes into social media: you’ve got a Facebook page, Twitter feed, YouTube channel, and CEO blog set up.
But now what?
Back up.
Social media is about free and open conversations online but your organization still needs to have a plan of action. Take a hold of your communications plan and start afresh.
This workshop is for organizations that dipped (or maybe dove headfirst) into social media, but are now wondering what the next steps are and how they can make their social media investment more focused and worthwhile.
Attendees Will Walk Away With:

- Tips on how to determine which social networks your organization’s key audiences are using and how to create a social media strategy
- Information on receiving buy-in from staff, management, and boards

Accelerating engagement with local communities 310119Kathryn Geels
Here is the session I ran at the Behind Local News conference in Leicester, 31 January 2019. I spoke about the Engaged Journalism Accelerator, what we've learnt to date from our grantees and other engaged journalism organisations in Europe, and what representatives from established regional press in the UK can learn, take onboard and take back to their teams.
The document summarizes the purpose, mission, and vision of the Accelerator program to support engaged journalism in European news organizations. The Accelerator aims to accelerate skills, knowledge, and community engagement practices of news organizations to help rebuild trust. It provides grants, coaching, and resources to organizations in multiple European countries. The Accelerator has learned that cultivating internal culture focused on community values, transparency, accountability, and viewing communities as active citizens are important for engaged journalism. Embedding engagement strategies organization-wide and linking local stories to other communities can also help build trust and engagement over the long term.
This document discusses relationship fundraising and donor-centric approaches. It outlines a project to review and refine relationship fundraising theory from perspectives in relationship marketing and social psychology. Practitioners identify trends like different interpretations in the UK and US, challenges like measuring impact, and the need for organizational cultures of philanthropy. Donorcentrism is defined as prioritizing donors' preferences to strengthen relationships. Building deeper donor relationships involves understanding donors, connecting them to causes, focusing on causes over organizations, developing two-way communication, and satisfying donors' higher-level needs.
This document discusses relationship fundraising and outlines a project to review and refine the theory and practice. It includes summaries of interviews with fundraisers who discuss placing donors at the center, understanding them, connecting them to causes, and building deeper, two-way relationships. It also notes challenges like focusing too much on organizations over causes, lack of internal relationships, and pressure for short-term gains. The authors aim to provide a paradigm shift to critically evaluate concepts and address challenges in fundraising.

This document discusses a workshop on how charities can build trust with the public. It outlines that while most of the public think charities improve lives, many feel the behavior of large charities has damaged the sector's reputation. Recent scandals are noted that have affected trust. Efforts by the sector to address issues through fundraising regulation and transparency are mentioned. A narrative is presented to communicate charities' positive impact and the role of transparency. Next steps discussed include implementing the narrative and addressing underlying causes of mistrust rather than just communications.

CASE16 Communications for Lasting Donor RelationshipMarc Whitt
This document discusses the importance of effective communications for developing and maintaining long-lasting donor relationships in philanthropy.

Creating a new sea story - a first aid kit for ocean communicationsCharityComms
The document discusses creating effective communication strategies for raising awareness about ocean conservation. It recommends establishing that the ocean has health, showing how human health is connected, communicating past harms, focusing on solutions and stewardship, being creative, and repeating key messages. The Marine CoLAB aims to cultivate public understanding of ocean systems and solutions through collaboration, experimentation, and framing issues around shared values. Their "changing health" story and reframing the ocean as the planet's body or climate's heart are presented as promising communication approaches.
This document summarizes trends affecting charities and nonprofit organizations. It discusses how the COVID-19 pandemic may accelerate changes to flexible working arrangements. Younger generations are having different views of charities that organizations need to understand. While Brexit continues to impact politics, charities must work to build relationships with new MPs and consider how to engage Conservative voters. Mental health and environmental issues are rising up public and political agendas. Charities are experimenting with pop-up events and spoken word audio to engage new audiences.

20 Voices for 2020: Using supporter-generated content to share personal storiesCharityComms
This document discusses a campaign by Fight for Sight called "20 Voices for 2020" that aims to raise awareness of the personal impact of sight loss in the UK. It will feature 20 supporter-generated videos sharing stories of how sight loss has affected people's lives. While supporter-generated content is authentic, it also poses risks like unsuitable language or poor storytelling. To address this, the document recommends carefully selecting case studies and having open conversations about language to guide stories in the right direction without compromising authenticity.

What opportunities does the new parliament offer charities?CharityComms
This document summarizes a report on opportunities for charities in the new UK parliament. It finds that Brexit, housing, education, and the economy top MPs' agendas. Conservative MPs were more likely to trust and engage with local charities. Face-to-face meetings and events were seen as the most influential ways for charities to contact MPs. The report advises charities to emphasize their local links and constituency-level impacts to appeal to Conservative MPs.
