Dots in Blue Water is a student-run organization that develops, funds, and distributes water purifiers to villages in Haiti. It has helped donate money and raise awareness for fundraisers. If it won prize money, it would use the funds to buy more equipment, build more purifiers, and send more aid materials to support ongoing work providing clean water and education in Haiti.
IoF National Convention: Hidden motivations and income streams - understandin...JustGiving
Your supporters often have very personal reasons to raise money for your charity and can become powerful advocates for your cause. In this session JustGiving will share insight on something they're calling the fundraising 'network effect'- the idea that fundraisers inspire others to take on charity challenges and help you recruit supporters. The charity Maggie's Cancer Caring Centres will share how they've increased fundraising at their event 'Maggie's Monster Bike & Hike' and taken their event registration process online. This session will also explore a key motivation for many charity supporters - fundraising In Memory of a loved one. JustGiving research indicates that people taking part in an event to fundraise in memory of a loved one raise up to 54% more than fundraisers who aren't raising money in memory. Insights from JustGiving and Great Ormond Street Hospital Children's Charity will explain why and how you should look after these highly motivated individuals.
Nonprofit Insights: Tapping into the Power of National Days and Weeks of ServiceVolunteerMatch
For many nonprofit organizations, national events like MLK Day of Service, National Volunteer Week or #GivingTuesday create not only another opportunity to build support, but also more work, more logistical challenges, and potential fatigue among donors and volunteers.
How can nonprofits balance the potential benefits of #GivingTuesday?
In this webinar, VolunteerMatch, #GivingTuesday and the Support Center for Child Advocacy talk about how organizations can tap into the power of national days and weeks of service. No matter the size or budget of your nonprofit, this webinar provides insight into how you can engage volunteers to help with campaigns on days like #GivingTuesday, and, vice versa, how these national days of giving and volunteering can help grow your volunteer engagement.

Impact Storytelling: 3 parts to every great story, and 1 part to always leave...brandiolson
You know that telling stories about the work you do is critical to engaging stakeholders and raising money—so you probably tell a lot of stories. There are some incredible people doing amazing things in your program, but are your stories powerful enough? Do they explain your impact and compel others to take action? The reason some stories are effective, and others flounder will surprise you.

Cycle for brighter future tamil nadu, alampoondi village event dated 15 FEB 2014Lakshya Aakriti Foundation
Charity Cycle ride for an initiative to establish Brighter future education centre in Tamil Nadu, Alampoondi Village. Helping Khadi, Malkha and Hand loom weavers in support of www.weaverswheel.net and Organizing event for Cycle for brighter future campaign by Matt Brice, Australian Athlete and Philanthropist.
This presentation is about my motivation and experiences of working as an online project coordinator in global community work. Its message can be summarized accordingly,
People + Purpose + Technology = Community
A case study of how a school in Scotland engaged with the KIVA project and pupils supported a micro enterprise business learning their curriculum a the same time.
We believe one thing - that together we create our community.
Our aim is simple: to globally bring people, businesses and charities together and help provide access to discrete volunteering opportunities with existing charitable and volunteer organisations and where people can volunteer with their friends. In short, helping make volunteering an easy, fun and social activity. These sorts of activities could support anything from child cancer research, to the local tennis club, to environmental causes, to efforts to assist the underprivileged etc etc. They are all important and they all make a difference!
Since our inception in September 2012 we have grown to have 21 Chapters in 8 countries and thus our growth has been significant but are just the first steps towards realising our vision of making volunteering a global norm!
Connector Corner: Automate dynamic content and events by pushing a buttonDianaGray10
Here is something new! In our next Connector Corner webinar, we will demonstrate how you can use a single workflow to:
Create a campaign using Mailchimp with merge tags/fields
Send an interactive Slack channel message (using buttons)
Have the message received by managers and peers along with a test email for review
But there’s more:
In a second workflow supporting the same use case, you’ll see:
Your campaign sent to target colleagues for approval
If the “Approve” button is clicked, a Jira/Zendesk ticket is created for the marketing design team
But—if the “Reject” button is pushed, colleagues will be alerted via Slack message
Join us to learn more about this new, human-in-the-loop capability, brought to you by Integration Service connectors.

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.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.
