Best Practices from Susan G. Komen for the Cureckocek
How did Susan G. Komen for the Cure become one of the most successful and nonprofits in history? It didn't happen overnight. This presentation looks at strategic branding decisions that were made over the past thirty years as well as in depth case studies into their corporate partnerships. The presentation concludes with key learnings and best practices as well as concrete next steps your nonprofit can take to become an equally successful cultural force for good.
In this presentation, you will learn about the differences and similarities among Matures, Baby Boomers, Generation X and Y in their approaches to giving. You'll also hear how experts at Amnesty International USA and AARP/AARP Foundation are using age segmentation to achieve better fundraising and communications results.
The 2017 edition of Our Region, Our Giving takes a look at WRAG member giving in the Greater Washington region in 2016. This snapshot represents over $146 million in giving to nonprofit organizations that serve the region and over $3.5 billion in assets.
In this year’s report, we take a close look at a particular tool in the philanthropic toolbox: advocacy. Fifty percent of survey takers reported making grants to advocacy organizations and over 40 percent reported that they try to build relationships with policymakers and to educate them on issues of importance to their foundations.
We also followed up with our members to better understand the impact of our ongoing Putting Racism on the Table initiative. WRAG members seem to be actively committed to moving forward on race and racism. We find it promising that 36 percent of our members reported applying a racial equity lens to their grantmaking, and that another 34 percent are considering incorporating this lens into their work.

The description of the grant to be used in this paper includes the promotion and foster of community partnerships to reduce homelessness in various communities. In essence, the project is intended to engage both provincial and territorial government levels to join the effort of aligning homelessness investments and priorities with the ultimate goals and objectives to prevent and reduce the aspect of homelessness especially in many youths (Forchuk, 2018). To elaborate, the grant is a unique program based on community affairs with the ultimate goals of eliminating if not reducing homelessness issues within various communities. Moreover, the project is aimed to accomplish this by encouraging funders to directly provide their support and funds to about sixty designated communities across all territories and provinces that are possible to reach. The most appropriate hyperlink for identifying RFP is: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6054288/
One of the significant factors that make this grant to be worth and for one to gain the confidant of pursuing it is the fact that it has been witnessed working for other countries. For instance, the grant was implemented in Canada in 2011, where it served over three hundred projects and managed to raise over fifty-five million Canadian dollars. The funds were well utilized by focusing them on, especially youth and young adults of age fifteen to twenty-eight. Based on that, it is a potential grant that I believe if well managed it is worth to take the risk as it guarantees the reduction of homelessness.
For evaluation purposes, several questions were identified to assess whether the grant was aligned with the objectives and goals of eliminating or reducing the aspect homelessness in various communities within the country. Furthermore, there were designed questions that aimed at assessing the progress of the program in its implementation including coordination, communication, reporting, adherence to housing first principles, monitoring as well as an assessment of early outcomes of the grant.

Growing communities: How charity leaders govern social media globally to thri...Paul Thomas
I contributed to this over two years ago and the content is still hugely relevant, not just in the charity and non-profit sector, but to all businesses trying to get to grips with the impact of social media and our digital, connected world.
Many charities consider social media a key channel to deliver their communications and fundraising goals, although few incorporate it into their core strategy – a problem exacerbated by the social media knowledge gap at senior levels in charities worldwide.
Drawing on interviews with international charity leaders and Grant Thornton Not for Profit specialists, this report provides charity leaders with guidance on how they can enable their charity to take advantage of social media’s power to engage new communities and to thrive online.
Key findings
• Strategy: Organisational strategy should drive social media use, the board must help formulate this from a position of knowledge.
• Governance: The social media governance approach and guidelines should be shared with everyone in the organisation.
• Education and training: Formal education should be used at every level. Internal social networks can help people gain knowledge of social media.
• Risk: Social media non-engagement is a risk in itself, although costs must be weighed against benefits.
• Impact: It is vital to measure social media outcomes to justify investment; metrics should be linked to a strategic goal and monitored.

Digital Commerce Lecture for Advanced Digital & Social Media Strategy at UCLA...Valters Lauzums
E-commerce in 2024 is characterized by a dynamic blend of opportunities and significant challenges. Supply chain disruptions and inventory shortages are critical issues, leading to increased shipping delays and rising costs, which impact timely delivery and squeeze profit margins. Efficient logistics management is essential, yet it is often hampered by these external factors. Payment processing, while needing to ensure security and user convenience, grapples with preventing fraud and integrating diverse payment methods, adding another layer of complexity. Furthermore, fulfillment operations require a streamlined approach to handle volume spikes and maintain accuracy in order picking, packing, and shipping, all while meeting customers' heightened expectations for faster delivery times.
Amid these operational challenges, customer data has emerged as an important strategy. By focusing on personalization and enhancing customer experience from historical behavior, businesses can deliver improved website and brand experienced, better product recommendations, optimal promotions, and content to meet individual preferences. Better data analytics can also help in effectively creating marketing campaigns, improving customer retention, and driving product development and inventory management.
Innovative formats such as social commerce and live shopping are beginning to impact the digital commerce landscape, offering new ways to engage with customers and drive sales, and may provide opportunity for brands that have been priced out or seen a downturn with post-pandemic shopping behavior. Social commerce integrates shopping experiences directly into social media platforms, tapping into the massive user bases of these networks to increase reach and engagement. Live shopping, on the other hand, combines entertainment and real-time interaction, providing a dynamic platform for showcasing products and encouraging immediate purchases. These innovations not only enhance customer engagement but also provide valuable data for businesses to refine their strategies and deliver superior shopping experiences.
The e-commerce sector is evolving rapidly, and businesses that effectively manage operational challenges and implement innovative strategies are best positioned for long-term success.

focus groups with one of the organization’s key segments:
females, aged 50, who have been diagnosed or have a family
member with MS and benefit from the services of MS Society
13. *
*Functional and emotional benefits are somewhat understood and
positively evaluated by the youth
*Associations with walks, bikes, runs, and marathons make MS Society seem
“up there” (on parity) with the bigger NFPs
*Salience is fairly low, respondents had difficulty identifying clear POPs
and PODs between NFPs of different sub-categories
*Lack of perceived relevance to the cause is weakening the connection
with this segment in terms of consideration and resonance
14. *
*Respondents felt a gap in support and accessibility from the organization
*Lack of trust and sense of dissatisfaction common amongst older segment –
referenced a poor quality of services or cuts in funding for support
programs (MS Society, 2013)

*Older segment is unsatisfied with the quality of services
50% of older respondents in MS Society’s online survey referenced poor
quality of services or cuts in funding for programs, likely due to dollars being
allocated more to research (MS Society, 2013).
*Youth segment want to see their dollars making an immediate impact
on real people’s lives
According to Millennial Impact Research (2013), donating dollars towards
research-oriented NFPs is a long-term investment, whereas donating dollars
towards more humane NFPs yields a more immediate benefit in the form of
support services and programs (e.g. a new facility)
