As a nonprofit leader, you’ve been told for so long that you must scrape by, are not worthy of real investment, and deserve only the leftovers – of money, of people, of time. It’s no wonder that a scarcity mindset – a fundamental belief that there is not enough – pervades the nonprofit and philanthropic sector. And it holds back your critical social change work.
But the truth is that there is more than enough.

This goes well beyond sending timely thank you notes and a quarterly newsletter. In this webinar, you'll learn the techniques you can use to solicit larger gifts from your donors, while deepening their loyalty to your organization.
Presented at the Louisiana Library Association 2023 Conference:

Designing the Fundable Strategic Plan - ARSL2018 - EverLibrary - 14 sept 2018EveryLibrary
Designing a “Fundable” Strategic Plan by John Chrastka
It’s often difficult to motivate voters or elected officials to say yes to new funding. A “fundable strategic plan” explains not only where the money is going but also who is spending it. Funders and supporters need to also know how outcomes will be enhanced through new features at the library, and diminished across the community if it is not funded. EveryLibrary’s executive director John Chrastka will share actionable insights from nearly 100 library funding campaigns about inclusive planning, and uncover what data drives successful plans.

The session also includes a discussion around historical policies and social contexts, which reflect structural forms of prejudice. At the end, participants share their perspectives on being cognizant of one’s power and privileges and structural forms of prejudice, while working with communities (especially marginalized populations).

The Fascinating World of Bats: Unveiling the Secrets of the Nightthomasard1122
The Fascinating World of Bats: Unveiling the Secrets of the Night
Bats, the mysterious creatures of the night, have long been a source of fascination and fear for humans. With their eerie squeaks and fluttering wings, they have captured our imagination and sparked our curiosity. Yet, beyond the myths and legends, bats are fascinating creatures that play a vital role in our ecosystem.
There are over 1,300 species of bats, ranging from the tiny Kitti's hog-nosed bat to the majestic flying foxes. These winged mammals are found in almost every corner of the globe, from the scorching deserts to the lush rainforests. Their diversity is a testament to their adaptability and resilience.
Bats are insectivores, feeding on a vast array of insects, from mosquitoes to beetles. A single bat can consume up to 1,200 insects in an hour, making them a crucial part of our pest control system. By preying on insects that damage crops, bats save the agricultural industry billions of dollars each year.
But bats are not just useful; they are also fascinating creatures. Their ability to fly in complete darkness, using echolocation to navigate and hunt, is a remarkable feat of evolution. They are also social animals, living in colonies and communicating with each other through a complex system of calls and body language.
Despite their importance, bats face numerous threats, from habitat destruction to climate change. Many species are endangered, and conservation efforts are necessary to protect these magnificent creatures.
In conclusion, bats are more than just creatures of the night; they are a vital part of our ecosystem, playing a crucial role in maintaining the balance of nature. By learning more about these fascinating animals, we can appreciate their importance and work to protect them for generations to come. So, let us embrace the beauty and mystery of bats, and celebrate their unique place in our world.
Joy Ward, Jaime Smith, and Skye Kilaen: Be the Change Locally - How to Advocate for Animal Welfare
1. Be The Change Locally: How to
Advocate for Animal Welfare
Joy Ward, Jaime Smith and Skye Kilaen
“Animal Welfare Is The Most Extreme Philosophy I Can Imagine.
It Is About Non-Violence. It Is About Compassion.
It Is About Not Harming and Not Causing Suffering And Not Killing When
We Don’t Have To.
That’s It.
It Is Really, Truly That Simple.
-Stephanie Ernst

4. What Do Legislators Do When You
Communicate With Them?

responding.
– This could be people you
disagree with or are
complaining about.

partner with; try to find a
business donor
• Find someone with experience in
fund-raising/grant-writing
8. GET PERMITS (if getting political)
• If you want to get petitions signed…
if you want to poll people…
if you want to stand somewhere…
You need permission from the city, county or place of
business
Otherwise you could be kicked out or fined!
9. Figure Out the Opposition’s Argument

and experts they’re citing.

• Legislators / Decision-
makers – who are they
and how can you
influence them?
• Basic campaign
elements

media to make change?
13. RECAP II
Challenges: What We Want You to be Thinking About:
• Think of one group outside your community who you could
partner with…
• How can you reach out to community members who
haven't been reached yet?
• Think of one new way to use social media.
• Think of an animal welfare cause you could really get
behind that’s currently an issue in your community.
• Find out who your legislators are – city, county & state.
You can make a TON of difference locally!
Locals are crucial to campaigns!
Staff member - that person now handles that topic for that office.Form letters are a dead giveaway that no one really cares or if they do, its low on the totem pole of issues. Every paper letter they get counts as 7-10 people.3.Other contacts, local paper are used to assess community concern.
In-kind volunteers: don’t give money, but donate time with skills like blogging, marketing, administrative, making flyers, etc. Gather supporters in a structured manner. Pursue this possibility: use different peoples’ skill sets for different things (this is called in-kind donating). For example, I’m a marketing/SEO consultant and copywriter by trade (with a college degree). So I write/design brochures/ads/press releases/blog posts & create marketing ideas, push volunteerism campaigns for rescues & animal welfare-related non-profits. Some of your volunteers may have accounting skills, office skills, administrative skills, phone skills (i.e., patience, etiquette and the willingness to get hung-up on a lot!); others may carry M.B.A’s and care to come in at a higher level. You never know until YOU get out and start motivating the people yourself. Perfect example of fantastic organization working well? The Coalition to Ban Ohio Dog Auctions.You never know what is possible until YOU get out and start motivating people!
If you are planning to make big moves in terms of avocations, start raising funds now. Remember, Rome wasn’t built in a day. Its tough economic times right now so you must be patient if the money doesn’t flow in right away. Many shelters and rescues are suffering from lack of donations right now so that’s why you need to start NOW.It doesn’t matter if you have bake sales and sell lemonade every weekend for a year… I don’t care if you eat Ramen Noodles every night for a month, JUST DO IT. Take your dog to a park with a vest on that has change pockets so people can put money in (and hand out flyers to owners). Find other organizations to partner with; try to find a corporate donor like the fine folks at PetSmart Charities, Newman Foundation, or IAMS, or a sponsor close to home like a local restaurant, doggie boutique, sports team, or other group that you know loves animals. These groups are out there, and they’re willing to at least hear your plea… It never hurts to have someone on hand that has experience with fund-raising and/or grants/grant-writing...
If you want to get petitions signed, if you want to poll people, if you want to stand on nearly any street corner or outside any storefront, you need permission from the city, county and whatever store/place of business you’re at. Do your research well beforehand to figure out what permits you need so you don’t get kicked out and fined!
After you’ve rallied the troops and are ready to start petitioning or protesting, you’ll need to do MORE research. If you’re going up against a sect of dissenters (and you undoubtedly will in the animal welfare arena as there are tons of cruel hearts that value money over kindness), it’s imperative that you find the research that they are using. Read the statistics they’re showing. Document/save the advertisements, commercials, newspaper stories, etc. being shown/published by them. Figure out who their “experts” are.Whatever you do, when in front of a City Council member, legislator, etc., do not become enraged or show ire at what has not been done; do not become a crying mess because you miss your dog, etc. Politicians DON’T respond well to negative emotion, and they will absolutely respond undesirably IF YOU CALL THEM ON THEIRS (if they get angry, frustrated, impatient.)
You never know who you’re talking to… so try not to offend you are protesting with or any affiliates of the group by “bashing” a certain other AWgroup in front of people you don’t know.Use research, statistics and advocacy campaigns from celebrated organizations like the ASPCA, Best Friends Animal Society, The Animal Legal Defense Fund or American Humane Association to piggy-back on, and for reliable, current information. HSUS, and Humane Society Legislative Fund, although semi-controversial, are very helpful, particularly in terms of lobbying and the political process, as that’s their main focus. They have current websites and constant updates on state and even county/area issues. They are an invaluable resource.You can call or email to ask permission from these groups to re-print information so you can create hand-outs for your community about nearby (geographically) or closely related (conceptually) campaigns.
SKYE’S SLIDEYou could be using that wasted time to do something effective!Anonymous communications (emails, petitions)Contacts from outside district (you blogged and asked everyone to write)“Like” the cause on Facebook (unless you can turn those people into donors)
Keep going until you feel successful in your advocacy endeavor. If you need inspiration, follow the fight for Nitro’s Law to be passed in Ohio… for the THIRD TIME… …or find your own little inspiration. You must have a good reason for doing what you’re doing… … After all, animal welfare advocacy is not for the faint of heart, it’s not for the weak, we folks are not easily rattled. We are tough. We are united. Remember where and why you started -- and you’ll never want to quit…
