2015 grava annual conference development and volunteer engagement
Pop quiz: Raise your hand if you get paid to engage the community’s hearts, minds, and resources to advance your nonprofit’s mission and make the world a better place.
Your hand is just as high whether you’re a fund development or a volunteer engagement professional. So why are our jobs so siloed? Better yet: What might happen if we tiptoed out of our siloes and planted a flag in the big, overlooked crossroads between our two worlds?
A whole lot of good, say trend-watchers and data crunchers in both industries. They also say we might not have a choice. Current trends in how Americans give time and money are quickly eroding the wall between our two worlds – whether we like it or not.
In this presentation we’ll dig deeper into two of those trends and see how you can turn them into opportunities for good. This presentation was part of a breakout session during GRAVA’s 2015 Annual Conference: “Volunteer Management Trends Transforming the Profession” (July 9, 2015).

Love and Happiness: Building Community with Smart Communications
Almost every organization struggles with getting new supporters—donors, members, volunteers, or others—and keeping old ones. Luckily, both problems can be solved with smart communications.
This session at the 2017 Nonprofit Technology Conference introduced strategies for building a brand that supporters love, so that they not only engage with your organization once, but do so repeatedly and ultimately encourage others to do so. We discussed ways to clearly communicate with audiences so they better understand who they are supporting and why—and so they’re more likely to come back. Drawing from real-life examples, we explored how you can get supporters to connect with work being done thousands of miles away using creative tools like virtual reality. We also discussed how stories, images, and diverse voices can help your supporters develop deep ties to your work. Finally, we touched on ways to empower your supporters to raise money for you as the ultimate brand ambassadors.

Greening Review 2015-August-CHAILLE Article
The article describes the International Garden of Many Colors community garden in Sacramento, California. Started in the 1990s primarily by Russian, Ukrainian, and Mexican immigrants, the garden now reflects the city's diverse population and provides fresh produce from various cultural traditions. However, the garden is also a site of struggle as different visions of public green space clash. Immigrant gardeners grow foods from their home countries that are hard to find otherwise and rely on the garden for health, income, and cultural traditions especially with limited resources. While water restrictions from the drought pose challenges, many gardeners remain committed to their plots after working them for over a decade.
