Almost every organization struggles with getting new supporters—donors, members, volunteers, or others—and keeping old ones. Luckily, both problems can be solved with smart communications. This session at the 2017 Nonprofit Technology Conference introduced strategies for building a brand that supporters love, so that they not only engage with your organization once, but do so repeatedly and ultimately encourage others to do so. We discussed ways to clearly communicate with audiences so they better understand who they are supporting and why—and so they’re more likely to come back. Drawing from real-life examples, we explored how you can get supporters to connect with work being done thousands of miles away using creative tools like virtual reality. We also discussed how stories, images, and diverse voices can help your supporters develop deep ties to your work. Finally, we touched on ways to empower your supporters to raise money for you as the ultimate brand ambassadors.

Strategies for Integrating Digital Fundraising into the Overall Fundraising Mix

Shanelle Clapham Digital Fundraising

In this two hour lunch and learn seminar, Parachute Digital showed Fundraising Directors from Top Australian charities how digital should best be integrated into your overall fundraising mix. Digital fundraising or online fundraising as many call it, is a growing area within the non-profit sector. This workshop demystifies online marketing & fundraising strategies, showing Fundraising Directors that the same strategies that they employ offline, for prospect onboarding and donor retention and telling stories, will work online too. It's just a different execution. The strategy is often the same. Participants were given data homework to do to learn about their donor databases and online/ offline split as well as reading from Shanelle Newton Clapham's book "Attracting Donors Online - Digital Fundraising that works". What the workshop and presentation covers is: • Integrating your digital data with your offline database • Integrating digital into your story-telling • Integrating digital into your onboarding strategy • Integrating digital into your retention strategy • Integrating digital into your donor journey.

In June 2016, the international HQ of a global NGO hired me to help develop a presentation about online fundraising for their board. There was no short term rush, but it foresaw that in a few years it might be at risk if its large institutional funders stopped or reduced their contribution. Online fundraising was seen an an option it needed to explore. The preferred approach was to experiment with online fundraising models until it had the evidence and expertise to make a better judgement on how viable it was. These slides are the input to that presentation - not the presentation itself! This was developed based on the input from individuals I contacted and from the ECF (eCampaigning Forum) community. This unbranded version of the slides also removes any reference to the commissioning organisation.

Crowdfunding Presentation by HI-Arts, Stornoway

Sian Jamieson

Are you constantly looking for the right funding route but coming up empty handed? Are you looking for alternative routes to fund your project that doesn’t rely on public bodies? Would you like to start engaging people with your project now? Crowdfunding could be your answer. Crowdfunding is a modern, online and interactive way to raise funds directly from the public – or the Crowd – for your projects and activities. With the advent of Crowdfunding we can now turn our audiences into supporters and funders, by collecting multiple small donations online and offering unique incentives to encourage giving, not only can you raise funds to get your project of the ground but you can start to build a ‘buzz’ around it before hand. The workshop will cover all the aspects you will need to create, implement and market your Crowdfunding project. Including: • How does Crowdfunding work? • Where can I crowdfund – what platforms are available? • How to write the perfect pitch. • Choosing the right rewards. • Marketing your crowdfunding project. • Engaging, thanking and keeping in touch with your new funders. • Marketing your progress. • Your next steps. The workshop is suitable for all individuals, organisations and professionals who work within the Cultural, Creative, Heritage and Arts sector. Sian Jamieson, Audience Development Manager at HI-Arts will lead this 2 hour workshop and can provide opportunities for one to one consultations with about Crowdfunding and any ideas for potential projects after the event.

Networked Nonprofit: Care2 Webinar

Rad Campaign and Women Who Tech

The ecosystem of nonprofits is exploding, yet the problems society faces are larger than nonprofits, said Allison Fine, on the Care2 webinar The Networked Nonprofit. The solution? Networking. This was one of the key takeaways during the webinar presented by Fine, Beth Kanter, Danielle Brigida of National Wildlife Federation, and Mark Sirkin of Austim Speaks. “Nonprofits are fortresses trying to manage the message. Free agents will free you from your cage,” said Kanter. What’s a free agent? They are volunteers in your network. People who are passionate about your nonprofits issues and who want to make a difference! “Invite them in,” said Kanter. Brigida agreed. A truly "networked nonprofit" realizes that help is reciprocal and this is something the National Wildlife Federation is embracing in their constituent engagement strategy. Sirkin said that nonprofits are too focused on ROI – Return on Investment, something many of us in the nonprofit community have been discussing as we continue to develop metrics to help measure social media’s impact. “We need to be focusing on ROE - Return on Engagement," said Sirkin

Make your donor the hero with your year-end fundraising campaign

Farra Trompeter, Big Duck

Nonprofits get 30% or more of their individual donations for the year in December, so how can you be sure to get your piece of the pie? In this session, I shared ten steps you can take to plan a year-end fundraising campaign that celebrates your donor's support, catches her eye, tugs on her heartstrings, and seals the deal to ensure a generous gift. Through a detailed case study of the 2015 year-end fundraising campaign for Parent Project Muscular Dystrophy, we examined best practices you can follow to be sure your 2016 year-end campaign is your best ever.

How does rebranding impact nonprofits?

Farra Trompeter, Big Duck

Slides from 2015 Nonprofit Marketing Conference (MarkCon) presented by myself, Neill Bogan (NY Common Food Pantry), Aaaron Charlop-Powers (Neighborhood Trust Financial Partners) and Mohan Sivaloganathan (Sheltering Arms). How does branding help a nonprofit advance its mission? How does it impact communications and fundraising? This interactive session shared highlights from Big Duck's ebook, The Rebrand Effect, which explores the findings of a nationwide survey completed by over 350 nonprofits. In this session, we articulated the benefits and influences of branding on a nonprofit, and demonstrated how it can provide a basis for more streamlined, compelling fundraising with individuals and corporations. We also talked about how rebranding can strengthen an organization's culture, and how, when coupled with strategic planning or a new fundraising strategy, it can best set up a nonprofit for effective fundraising.

Farra Trompeter, Big Duck

Slides from presentation by Big Duck and NTEN at DMA Nonprofit Federation Nonprofit Conference in August 2015. For nonprofits, the fundraising landscape has evolved. Moving beyond the “donate now” button and writing a check, donors want to be actively involved in your cause and help create change together. Harvesting the passion of your community is key to successful fundraising and long-term engagement. In this session, participants learned the differences in crowdfunding vs. peer to peer and how these new tactics can be balanced in your fundraising arsenal. Our discussion included specific examples of successful nonprofit fundraising strategies using crowdfunding and other creative community-led campaigns and tips for how to get started.

How to Empower Staff to be the Voice for your Organization Through Social Media

Farra Trompeter, Big Duck

Slides by Farra Trompeter, Big Duck (www.bigducknyc.com) and Danielle Brigida, National Wildlife Federation (www.nwf.org) delivered at the 2014 Bridge to Integrated Marketing and Fundraising Conference on July 10, 2014. As communications patterns have shifted to a reality where everyone is the spokesperson for your nonprofit, how you and your colleagues use social media can greatly impact your organization's reputation and relationships with the community.

Slides presented at the 2014 Nonprofit Technology conference by Ash Shepherd, Minds on Design Lab, and Farra Trompeter. Big Duck. Do your communications feel trapped in Dark Ages or are they community-centric and campaign-oriented? What does fostering online engagement really mean? Which social channels should you be on and how does your website and email fit in? Oh yeah, and what about your mission? Throughout the discussion, we’ll include examples of nonprofits that are leading the way and help you assess, prioritize, and implement new strategies to foster more meaningful online engagement. Attendees with walk away with: 1) Resources for assessing your online presence; 2) Lessons learned from case studies; 3) Example frameworks to help guide your process

50 Shades of Social Media: Navigating Policies, Laws, and Ethics

Farra Trompeter, Big Duck

Slides presented at 2014 NTEN Nonprofit Technology Conference. As the manager of your nonprofit’s social media presence, knowing what you (and your colleagues) can say or how you should respond gets tricky. Establishing solid social media governance policies and understanding your legal and compliance obligations are both important aspects of your overall social media strategy. But, where do you turn when you encounter a dilemma that isn’t easily solved by turning to the law or an existing policy? In this highly interactive session, we’ll discuss real-world situations, explore using ethical frameworks to resolve social media conundrums, and integrating ethical considerations into your social media policies, training, and practices. Takeaways: * New ideas for how to set and manage the tone of your organization's social media community * A better understanding of the legal implications of your social media policies and practices * Ways to balance the ethics and opportunities of social media I was on the panel with Debra Askanase (Community Organizer 2.0), Carly Leinheiser (Perlman & Perlman, LLP), and Ashley Lusk (Threespot). #14NTCshades

Transformative capacity-building models: Strengthening grantee communications...

Farra Trompeter, Big Duck

As nonprofits of all sizes struggle to keep up with social media, video and other communications strategies, foundations are looking for ways to transform the nonprofits they support and build the skills of staff to bolster the fields they serve. Through management assistance programs, peer-learning cohorts, train-the-trainers and grant-supported training there are a variety of options out there. In this session presented at the 2013 Communications Network Conference, I joined Michael Hoffman (See3), Beth Kanter (author and master trainer), and Eva Penar (The Chicago Community Trust) for a lively discussion of pros and cons of different models and examples. Together we examined how you can structure (or restructure) your capacity-building programs, evaluate if grantees are ready and measure progress along the way. We’ll also shared some of the moments of failure — and what we learned as a result.

Crowdfunding and Social Fundraising, Does it Really Work?

Farra Trompeter, Big Duck

During this time of fiscal uncertainty, crowdfunding and crowd/social fundraising are fast becoming an attractive option for nonprofits to raise much needed funds. During this session presented at the NeighborWorks America Social Technology Symposium, we discussed crowdfunding, online contests, and social fundraising, with case studies from the field. Presenters included: Farra Trompeter, Big Duck; Brandon Whitney, IOBY; and Matt Miller, Community Housing Initiatives.

Campaigns as an Experience of Your Brand

Farra Trompeter, Big Duck

Slides presented at the 2013 NTEN Nonprofit Technology Conference by Big Duck, Center for Reproductive Rights, Fight Colorectal Cancer, and Fountain House. Together we discussed how nonprofits are using their brands to get more people to understand their nonprofit's message, take action to advance the cause, sign up programs, and raise money to support the mission. Strong brands tell clear, consistent, and compelling stories about who you are. Rather than talking at audiences, smart nonprofits listen, respond, and engage with their participants, donors, advocates, and other community members through integrated campaigns. This session featured a panel of nonprofiteers who shared how they use campaigns to reinforce or shift their organization's brand positioning and personality across a variety of communications channels.

Multichannel Fundraising Strategies

Farra Trompeter, Big Duck

Presentation delivered at UArts in Philadelphia for the Philadelphia DoGooder community on December 13, 2012. With more and more communications channels out there, your supporters are getting bombarded with more and more messages from for-profit and non-profit sectors alike. So how can you make sure your organization stands out? (Hint: it’s not by jumping on the next social media tool.) You can build stronger campaigns by taking inspiration from your brand, and carrying your story strategically across many platforms. During this workshop, we: • Explored ways to integrate your marketing and fundraising tactics, both offline and online. • Looked at ways to use email to increase direct mail giving, and to use direct mail to increase online giving. • Showed how to integrate your marketing and fundraising tactics. • Looked at how social media can be used to reinforce work you are doing with supporters in person. • Showed how to encourage your offline supporters to connect with you online and vice-versa.

Is it Time to Rethink Your Website?

Farra Trompeter, Big Duck

Training delivered at NeighborWorks America's National Training Institute on December 11, 2012. When it comes to the Web, a lot has changed over the past 10 years (and some things haven't). Does your website give users what they need, how they want to find it? Does it serve your mission and current goals? How have the trends toward interactivity, social media, and responsive design impacted your website? Do you have a content strategy and resources you need to keep your site up to date? We had fun taking a stroll down memory lane - playing "name that year" on site designs and looking at some awesome successes and case studies.

Brandraising

Farra Trompeter, Big Duck

Slides delivered during the closing keynote at 501cometogether: The Illinois Nonprofit Conference, sponsored by Donors Forum, on October 16, 2012. Based on the book "Brandraising: How Nonprofits Raise Visibility and Money Through Smart Communications" (Jossey-Bass, 2010), this closing keynote will challenge you to think about what’s unique about your organization and why people should be interested in supporting your cause. You’ll hear about ways to create a compelling identity that expresses the personality of your organization, attracts program participants, and takes your organization to the next level. With the proper brand in place, you’ll better understand the tools you need to communicate online and off, and ensure your organization’s staff and board are speaking with one voice. You’ll also hear about how others have used “brandraising” techniques to reposition themselves in a fresh, modern way--and how raising the visibility of your organization helps the nonprofit sector at-large.

Social Media for Nonprofit CEOs

Farra Trompeter, Big Duck

Slides delivered during workshop at 501cometogether: The Illinois Nonprofit Conference, sponsored by Donors Forum, on October 16, 2012. Social media is everywhere. Your donors are connecting with you on LinkedIn, your advocates are sharing links about your nonprofit on Twitter, your program participants are commenting on your Facebook page, and your staff is posting videos on YouTube--what's an executive director to do? How much should she do personally on behalf of the organization and how much should she manage it? As nonprofits explore new ways of fundraising, advocating, and conducting outreach online, it can be hard to know where to focus and invest your energies. In this workshop, I will share some strategies you can use to evaluate and manage your organization's approach to social media. We'll also discuss topics such as staff capacity, social media guidelines, and your personal/professional brand.

Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software Fuzzing

Aftab Hussain

Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process. In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds. - These are slides of the talk given at IEEE International Conference on Software Testing Verification and Validation Workshop, ICSTW 2022.

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdf

Paige Cruz

Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack. While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack. I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:
