Digging Deeper Into Donor Preferences | AFPFC 2016Abila
At the 2015 AFP International Fundraising Conference, Abila debuted its Donor Engagement Study, diving into the disconnect between nonprofit best practices and donor preferences. We wanted to take that study one step further with our 2016 Donor Engagement Study, digging deeper into donor engagement preferences specifically around content, recognition, events, and volunteering. This session was a special sneak preview of the results, where we shared key findings and insights into how donors want to be engaged and what activities nonprofits are doing that drive them away.

The Collaborative Nonprofit: Building better relationships between fundraisin...Abila
Fundraising and finance departments are critical to leading the growth and success of nonprofit organizations. Yet, nearly 55 percent of fundraising and 45 percent of finance professionals believe their departments are not at all or only “somewhat” collaborative with each other. Abila surveyed both nonprofit finance and fundraising professionals to better understand the collaborative nature of the two departments, and the biggest challenges they face when working together. Based on the study findings, we dive into strategies for improving cross-departmental collaboration including demystifying commonly misunderstood jargon, management strategies to empower emerging leaders, and new opportunities for information sharing.

Lately, it seems that talk of "the cloud" is everywhere you turn. But what does "the cloud" mean and how can it help your nonprofit function more efficiently? We will help you get a better understanding of what it means, the advantages/disadvantages of using it, and the future of the cloud, so you can fully research and evaluate if moving more items to the cloud is right for your organization. Presented by Richard Dietz of Nonprofit R+D
Today’s world is hyper-connected, mobile, social and always on. As we connect to the Internet from anywhere, at anytime, we are drawn deeper into digital life. What’s more, the experiences we have are increasingly tailored to our preferences: likes and dislikes. But, what does this mean for nonprofits? It means changing employee, donor and other stakeholder expectations.
Your organization's website is critical to your success. It's the place to tell the world about your mission and motivate visitors to take action—whether it's making a donation or signing up for your services. For many organizations, it's difficult to know where to start. What do you do next with your website and how do you manage it?
Everything You Ever Wanted to Know About Foundation, Corporate, and Governmen...Abila
Last year, corporate and private family foundations alone gave more than $56 billion in grants to nonprofit organizations. Are you getting your share? This presentation evens the playing field for all nonprofits to learn how to access corporate, private foundation and government funding.
Don’t lose sight of your mission by losing control of your finances! A nonprofit organization’s financial health depends on precise execution of the key components of an annual operating cycle. This session will leave you with a comprehensive grasp of how to develop your nonprofit organization’s financial health, thus supporting the life of your mission.
One donation form on your website just doesn’t cut it today. If that’s all you have on your site, you are missing opportunities with every visitor and missed opportunities are missed donation dollars. In this presentation, you’ll learn how to go beyond the donation form.
6 Easy Steps to Creating a Written Fundraising PlanAbila
Many nonprofits struggle to create a fundraising plan and put it in writing, yet the benefits are tremendous. A written plan shifts you from being reactive and dealing with the crisis of the day to being proactive and working purposefully toward the results you want. In this session, you’ll learn how to follow 6 simple steps to put together a written plan for raising the money you need in the coming year.
Featuring David Holmes of the Foundation Center Cleveland.
What’s the difference between a successful fundraising plan and a not so successful one? Diversification. It’s the same advice your financial planner will give you and it’s the same approach every nonprofit should take when crafting their fundraising strategy. Successful nonprofits know they need to cultivate multiple revenue streams through sound financial planning. If your organization has never developed a fundraising plan or calendar, this hour-long session is for you. It provides an overview of the process of strategically thinking through the components of a fundraising plan. You'll learn how to:
• Conduct an assets inventory.
• Develop a case statement.
• Identify potential funding partners.
• Prepare a fundraising plan and calendar.

• Available options in hosting services, as well as, the risks and benefits of each.
• The top 3 questions to consider before you implement

Asking about Asking: Mastering the Art of Conversational Fundraising with Ken...Abila
In our best work as fundraisers, we do a lot more Asking about Asking -- than just asking for the gift alone. This session is based on the recently released book by the same title, and covers the discovery process in major gift solicitation, focusing on the fact that when we try to "guess" about a donor or gift, we are almost always wrong.
We begin with step one, exploring donor interest, and proceed through the entire cultivation, solicitation, and appreciation process. The focus is on specific questions and strategies that the fundraiser can use to climb "The 10 Step Staircase."
The purpose is to equip professional staff and volunteers to become more effective fundraisers by building their proficiency in asking the right questions at the right time and listening effectively to the donor.
Further, we reveal how to enhance donors' enjoyment as they give generously to causes they care deeply about. Ultimately, the fundraiser is encouraged to follow donors' wishes as they reveal their own desires about their gifts through the process of Conversational Fundraising™.
Six Must-Do's To Get Your Nonprofit Grant ReadyAbila
All nonprofits want grants but some aren't quite ready to receive a grant. Before you ever begin writing grant applications, make sure that the organization you're working with is indeed “grant ready".
There are six critical areas that nonprofits often overlook when preparing grant applications. By following some simple guidance, your organization could be receiving many more “granted” requests than “denied". In this webinar we’ll uncover:
• How to position your nonprofit to shine in a more positive light
• How to give funders more confidence in you
• How what you do as an organization affects your chances at grant funding

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.

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!

GDG Cloud Southlake #33: Boule & Rebala: Effective AppSec in SDLC using Deplo...James Anderson
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).
