Social Media Planning – Now that you’ve got your staff and board excited about social media, what’s next? Like most plans, it starts with a strategy, one that's based on a desire to build relationships. What does a social media plan look like? What are the key elements? Where should you dedicate your time and how can you make most of your efforts? This session will present strategies and tactics you can employ, and will touch on how it all ties into the communications plan you’ve already got.

Utilizing social media for promoting cultural awareness and peace Lovette Jam Jacosalem
This is a talk about using social media as a tool for promoting cultural awareness and peace presented during the Kultourismo Workshop on "Promoting Cultural Diversity in Lanao through Visual Narratives."
---
About Kultourismo
Kultourismo is a combination of Kultura (Culture) and Turismo (Tourism) which means a travel or a journey to know and learn about the different cultures. Kultourismo is a youth-led campaign project that aims to suffice and spread information on cultural diversity that may help in answering and correcting some misconceptions and prejudices in our society, specifically in the Lanao province that will eventually promote cultural awareness.
Kultourismo believes that through exploring different cultures, peace can be achieved.
Kultourismo was formed through Project YACAP, a 5-month leadership development program funded by US Embassy that envisions building a generation of young people in Mindanao who will commit to embrace the culture of Peace.
This project aims to bridge the bond between the people in different cultures and to serve as strings that will connect people to make them become closer with each other especially the people of Lanao, until misconceptions and negativity about the differences will become a history between.

Monthly giving is an incredibly powerful way for you to kick-start your fundraising program’s earning potential. Cultivating relationships with donors who are already connected to your cause by asking them to make smaller, ongoing gifts means more money for your organization today, and a strong list of prospects for upgraded and larger gifts in the future.
Donations of securities are currently one of the most tax-smart ways to make charitable donations in Canada – but is your charity set up to accept them? CanadaHelps has you covered! Since 2007 we have been successfully helping our charities to accept donations of publicly traded securities and mutual funds. This webinar will outline how the donation works for the charity and the donor, how CanadaHelps processes gifts for your charity and how to market, promote and speak to donors about this type of donation.
Our speaker Paul Nazareth, VP of Community Engagement at CanadaHelps is a 15 year planned giving professional who is a national instructor with the Canadian Association of Gift Planners, has worked with securities donations in charities of all sizes and with the advisors who make these gifts happen.

media

• Goal: Build stronger, personal relationships
with our older annual donor base and talk to
them about estate planning
– Social media will likely not be helpful
18. Target Audience

23. Types of Social Media Audiences
• Inactives. As suspected, these are the people who aren’t engaged
in any of these social technologies.
• Spectators. These are people who read online information, list to
podcasts, and watch videos but do not participate.
• Joiners. These are people who have a profile on different social
networking sites and visit them with some regularity.
• Collectors. These are people who read lots of information and may
vote or tag pages or photos.
• Critics. These are people who post reviews online, comment on
blogs, or contribute in other ways to existing content.

video, podcasts).

what they have done
• Ask others about their successes and
disappointments

others to share their experience in

about the impact of your organization
(get various perspectives: Board,
community, volunteer etc…)

campaign
• ask your donors to tell their story

government cutbacks hurting your cause

take action and share their passion with others
43. Build a Following
• Become the expert
• Link everything back to your website
• Offer opportunities to do something
• ASK!
44. Starting Conversations
• Remember: social media is about engaging
and building community

47. Listen, Learn and Adapt
• Get feedback! Ask:
• What is working, what isn’t?
• What else would you like to see?
• Implement changes and keep trying
48. Use What You Get
• People’s stories are opportunities
for you to talk about the work you
do

improve what you’re doing
