From Physical to Virtual: How to Create Fundraising Success In A Virtual WorldCharity Dynamics
The switch from physical, in-person fundraising events to virtual ones came about swiftly this spring as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. As nonprofits scrambled to support the unique needs of the people they serve, they also had to tackle tough decisions around whether to cancel events or pivot them to virtual — or find an altogether different path. Ready or not, they had to act fast.
Watch our on-demand webinar as we talk with three fundraising experts about how they made the shift from in-person to virtual events. Our panelists—from Boston Children’s Hospital, Canadian Cancer Society, and The Parkinson Alliance — discuss the key lessons they learned during this transition, including out-of-the-box event strategies they’ve developed, and how they intend to use those to ensure continued success going forward.

ATS14- What meaningful engagement means: capacity-building as a tool to impro...BTAOregon
Federal, state and local transportation guidelines strongly encourage or even require that transportation officials conduct “meaningful” public engagement as part of their planning and decision-making processes. But the most well-intentioned efforts can fail to reach low-income and minority communities that are often still not at the table when important decisions are being made. In order for marginalized communities to participate effectively in public process, government agencies and private funders must invest in their time, skills and capacity to engage in time-consuming and complex discussions such as those around transportation, planning and funding decisions. Attendees will discuss what capacity-building is and why it is important, and learn from recent capacity-building efforts in health, community planning and transportation.
