It discusses establishing a strong case for support by understanding your organization's history and impact. It also reviews current trust research resources and common challenges in using them. Breakout sessions discuss how open data could help grant seekers and funders by providing a more complete picture of funding trends and opportunities. The document promotes open data standards to increase transparency and connectivity across the philanthropic sector.
Whizz Kidz and social media
The document discusses Whizz-Kidz's use of social media to engage runners participating in fundraising events. It describes how a personal Facebook profile was used to connect with the 255 runners on the Whizz-Kidz London Marathon team, providing updates and building a sense of community. This approach generated positive feedback from runners but risks fragmenting the audience and being too focused on one event. Moving forward, Whizz-Kidz is considering creating a general events profile on Facebook while maintaining a personal approach, or closing their Twitter account to focus more on Facebook.
NFPtweetup 7: survey results
The survey results from the June 10th 2010 NFPtweetup event showed that:
1) Attendees overwhelmingly enjoyed the event, finding it a great opportunity to meet others in the field and discuss case studies.
2) The event exceeded attendees' expectations by providing a relaxed and social learning environment where good questions were asked.
3) Attendees felt inspired and found the breakout sessions to be more informative on how best to engage with social media.
4) The venue and timing were suitable with most preferring evening events, and attendees wanted to explore topics like how smaller charities use social media effectively.
Whizz-kidz and audioboo
The document discusses how Whizz-Kidz, a charity that helps disabled children, used Audioboo to have two young disabled people interview politicians and journalists at a political party conference. This allowed the users to give voice to supporters and spread the charity's message in a light-hearted way. While it was a success in raising the charity's profile and humanizing public figures, it may have avoided harder questions and lacked diversity with both interviewers being boys. Overall, Audioboo was seen as a low-cost way to engage users and supporters.
NFPtweetup 8 panel debate: Whizz-Kidz in multiple social media profiles
Whizz-Kidz has three main Facebook profiles - their main profile, "Jess Whizz-Kidz" set up by their Marathon Coordinator, and a Blue Peter Go Cardz profile. Their main profile is used for engagement, inquiries, and peer support. "Jess Whizz-Kidz" helps boost fundraising and coordinate events. Blue Peter Go Cardz allows volunteers to communicate and coordinate shifts. Whizz-Kidz only has one Twitter profile to broadly discuss all their work and appeal to a wide range of followers for different reasons like volunteering, campaigning, or working for them. They create lists and direct messages to engage specific groups.
A matter of trust
This document provides an overview of grant-making trusts and how to identify and research potential funders.

The document offers strategies for developing shortlists of funders and researching individual trusts, including questions to ask and online resources. Networking and utilizing support organizations can help organizations make connections to potential funders.
Monitoring and evaluation to improve fundraising bids
This document discusses monitoring and evaluation (MEL) and its importance for improving fundraising bids and project quality. It notes that while transformational programs are hard to measure, demonstrating results is increasingly demanded by donors and the public to ensure accountability and value for money. Examples show funders requesting evidence of a project's impact, like increased school attendance or health outcomes. The document outlines Oxfam's MEL processes, from setting measurable objectives and collecting data to using evaluations and reviews to improve decision-making. It acknowledges challenges like balancing learning and accountability when resources are limited but argues that MEL is essential for good management, communication, and organizational reputation.

L'indice de performance des ports à conteneurs de l'année 2023
Une évaluation comparable de la performance basée sur le temps d'escale des navires
L'objectif de l'ICPP est d'identifier les domaines d'amélioration qui peuvent en fin de compte bénéficier à toutes les parties concernées, des compagnies maritimes aux gouvernements nationaux en passant par les consommateurs. Il est conçu pour servir de point de référence aux principaux acteurs de l'économie mondiale, notamment les autorités et les opérateurs portuaires, les gouvernements nationaux, les organisations supranationales, les agences de développement, les divers intérêts maritimes et d'autres acteurs publics et privés du commerce, de la logistique et des services de la chaîne d'approvisionnement.
Le développement de l'ICPP repose sur le temps total passé par les porte-conteneurs dans les ports, de la manière expliquée dans les sections suivantes du rapport, et comme dans les itérations précédentes de l'ICPP. Cette quatrième itération utilise des données pour l'année civile complète 2023. Elle poursuit le changement introduit l'année dernière en n'incluant que les ports qui ont eu un minimum de 24 escales valides au cours de la période de 12 mois de l'étude. Le nombre de ports inclus dans l'ICPP 2023 est de 405.
Comme dans les éditions précédentes de l'ICPP, la production du classement fait appel à deux approches méthodologiques différentes : une approche administrative, ou technique, une méthodologie pragmatique reflétant les connaissances et le jugement des experts ; et une approche statistique, utilisant l'analyse factorielle (AF), ou plus précisément la factorisation matricielle. L'utilisation de ces deux approches vise à garantir que le classement des performances des ports à conteneurs reflète le plus fidèlement possible les performances réelles des ports, tout en étant statistiquement robuste.
