GreatNonprofits proudly features the story of PA'LANTE Harlem founder Elsie Vasquez on how the focus on storytelling and has helped her organization grow.
We all know that stories about individuals are the most effective way to get donors to respond to fundraising appeals. In fact, it is really quite unusual to receive appeals these days that don't include a story of a particular person whose life was affected by a charity's work. But it’s not enough to just tell a story. We must tell a story that connects with our audience and leave a lasting impression that impacts their philanthropic relationship with our cause.
Join us to learn how to do just that.
Presenters: Vanessa Chase, Fundraising and Communications Strategist, Founder of TheStorytellingNonprofit.com; and Jenny Taylor, Community Manager, GuideStar USA (moderator)
Stories give context to data and facts. They make the abstract concrete, and create relationships where none existed. Significantly, stories create emotional connections between an organization and its audience that can last well beyond the initial contact. This presentation, given for organizations participating in Valley Gives 2014, highlights
• What makes a good story
• The organizational stories you have right now
• The types of stories that can power your fundraising/crowdfunding campaign
• Social media tools to tell your story
Your supporters are the hero of the story. Your job is to call them to adventure and help them on their quest by providing the structure and support they need. Looking at examples and a real world case study, you’ll learn how you can start with story, define success, provide structure and give support to reach more people and raise more money through social fundraising.

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.

Fundraising 101: Tell the Story, Make the AskSarah Koski
This is the second of a two-part series on the dynamics of fundraising by industry professionals Sarah Koski (Oregon) and Erin Patton (Maryland) for the Forbes Fund's “Emerging Directors of Development," sponsored by the Segal Family Foundation.
Together, Sarah and Erin bring over half a century of combined nonprofit and corporate leadership experience. Download this presentation guide to get a glimpse into their deep-dive on how to find donors, where to tell your story, and several role play scenarios.
More about this program:
The Segal Family Foundation and The Forbes Funds developed and launched “Emerging Directors of Development,” a learning program that will recruit and train local young professionals, specifically black, indigenous, people of color (BIPOC) in nonprofit development & fundraising. Graduates will be placed in a full-time development role at a participating local 501c3 organization, which will also receive ongoing support and assistance during and after the program.
Fewer than 1% of executives at Allegheny County-based corporations and nonprofit organizations are people of color. The co-developed program seeks to increase the representation of black and brown professionals in these executive roles immediately. The program will recruit and enroll ten early-career professionals that are outgoing, entrepreneurial, and hard-working in a four-month intensive course. The course will immerse participants in learning the technical and people skills necessary for becoming a high-level development professional. The professionals will be paired with a participating nonprofit organization that is currently hiring for the position. The program is open to local 501c3 organizations challenged with hiring qualified high-level development professionals and/or looking to hire a first-time well-trained development professional. Organizations will receive ongoing support services as participants are trained and through the first six months of employment. Participating organizations will receive Greater Pittsburgh Nonprofit Partnership membership, development coaching in the interim stage, and sustained capacity-building resources & opportunities beyond the conclusion of the program.
Slide Design: Sarah Koski
Giving is powerful. But it's also complex. This presentation looks at some of the stats of the philanthropic sector as well as some science behind giving, fundraising, and marketing for causes.
Focusing on three areas essential to nonprofit success in the era of online giving: participatory programs, new younger donors, and communicating one's story. Produced as a training by Reggie Woolery of 'Arts4Good' for participants in "Give Big San Bernardino County 2015" campaign.

By sharing data that tells a story, your staff and board members become more engaged, donors give more and volunteers are clear what actions to take. Good dashboards actually make things happen. The way to build support is to create a clear picture for others so they can easily see what needs to be done. The use of visual displays and dashboards will turn numbers and lists into interesting and clear tools for engagement.
Building awareness for your important work in an increasingly cluttered space can’t be the responsibility of just one person or even a department. When an organization embraces the culture of creating and empowering all staff to become “brand ambassadors,” authentic and exponential growth starts to happen.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.
We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

AFTER A BITTER DIVORCE, Margaret moved back to Arkansas from
Texas. She came with her two children, aged 7 and 9, to be close to her
family. Her circumstances left her in a financial bind, and her children
needed physicals to get into school.
Margaret turned to our clinic for her family’s medical needs. During the
physicals, her son did not pass the vision screening. Margaret was relieved
to learn she could bring him back in two weeks to see an optometrist and
get a prescription for glasses paid for by the Star City LIONS club.
Margaret is lucky -- she has a supportive family and has found work. She is
also appreciative that her kids could be seen at our clinic. It makes getting
started just a little easier.
