- The document describes testing a maximum entropy method (MaxEnt) for extracting gravitational wave signals from noisy detector data.
- Ringdown waveforms were injected into artificially constructed noise matching LIGO detector sensitivity. MaxEnt then extracted the signals blindly.
- The extracted signals' parameters, such as frequency and decay constant, were estimated and compared to the original injected parameters to evaluate MaxEnt's effectiveness.
- Results showed MaxEnt could extract parameters accurately at high signal-to-noise ratios but extracted noisier signals at lower ratios, as expected.
This document discusses various fundraising sources for an Engineering Without Borders student chapter. It outlines that Pizza Thursdays and an annual Fun Run are major sources of fundraising, bringing in around $6,000 and fully covering event costs respectively.

karnataka housing board schemes . all schemesnarinav14
The Karnataka government, along with the central government’s Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana (PMAY), offers various housing schemes to cater to the diverse needs of citizens across the state. This article provides a comprehensive overview of the major housing schemes available in the Karnataka housing board for both urban and rural areas in 2024.
This report explores the significance of border towns and spaces for strengthening responses to young people on the move. In particular it explores the linkages of young people to local service centres with the aim of further developing service, protection, and support strategies for migrant children in border areas across the region. The report is based on a small-scale fieldwork study in the border towns of Chipata and Katete in Zambia conducted in July 2023. Border towns and spaces provide a rich source of information about issues related to the informal or irregular movement of young people across borders, including smuggling and trafficking. They can help build a picture of the nature and scope of the type of movement young migrants undertake and also the forms of protection available to them. Border towns and spaces also provide a lens through which we can better understand the vulnerabilities of young people on the move and, critically, the strategies they use to navigate challenges and access support.
The findings in this report highlight some of the key factors shaping the experiences and vulnerabilities of young people on the move – particularly their proximity to border spaces and how this affects the risks that they face. The report describes strategies that young people on the move employ to remain below the radar of visibility to state and non-state actors due to fear of arrest, detention, and deportation while also trying to keep themselves safe and access support in border towns. These strategies of (in)visibility provide a way to protect themselves yet at the same time also heighten some of the risks young people face as their vulnerabilities are not always recognised by those who could offer support.
In this report we show that the realities and challenges of life and migration in this region and in Zambia need to be better understood for support to be strengthened and tuned to meet the specific needs of young people on the move. This includes understanding the role of state and non-state stakeholders, the impact of laws and policies and, critically, the experiences of the young people themselves. We provide recommendations for immediate action, recommendations for programming to support young people on the move in the two towns that would reduce risk for young people in this area, and recommendations for longer term policy advocacy.

Editor's Notes
GETTING TO KNOW ATTENDEES:
New members
How long involved?
Participated or led fundraising efforts? Examples from the room.
Have you participated in the year end campaign before?
During this session, we will talk about:
What is a fundraising campaign?
We’ll discuss the five stages of a fundraising campaign – for both fundraising at the year end or other times of the year.
And finally we’ll talk about some of the specifics of the 2015 year end campaign.
There will be a full package of year-end campaign resources available the beginning of November. Today, focus on the strategies you want to take away – the details of the campaign will be in the campaign resources.
Before we dive into that, I want to go over a couple of the fundraising resources that are available to you.
On the new myEWB-USA you will find an entire page devoted to the fundraising tools, resources, policies and training that are available to your chapters.
I want to highlight a couple of things you will find there.
Project Grants: When EWB-USA’s corporate partners want to directly support projects, they do so through the project grants program. There are two grant cycles each year – in the spring and the fall. The grants program is need-based – so grant reviewers are looking for you to demonstrate your chapter’s financial need at this time. We’ve seen applications where the chapter had funds in their chapter general fund but did not explain what they planned to use those funds for or why they needed funding. So their grant was rated low. We‘ve reviewed other grants where the chapter had tens of thousands of dollars in their general fund, but they explained in detail where those funds would be allocated to and why they had a financial need at this time. A couple other tips. Make sure you’ve really proof read your submission. There are no excuses for poor writing. Most importantly, listen to the advice you receive from your project engineer and the TAC. When we review applications, it shows through if you are or are not heading that advice. Best way to improve your grant application is to improve your project.
Grants and individual donations will be your most effective fundraising strategies. That is where you will get the most return on the time you invest.
Toolkits: Fundraising events rarely raise a lot of money because they can cost a lot of money to host. But they are good for engaging members of your chapter, spreading the word about who EWB-USA is and the great work you are doing. You can also use them as friend-raisers – identifying individuals with whom you will grow a relationship over time.
Also, engineering firms in your area are often excited to participate. If your chapter does not yet have a signature fundraising event or your chapter is new to fundraising, these toolkits can be a great starting point. Currently we have toolkits for a kickball tournament, wine tasting, and water walk. Even if you don’t host this specific event, you can find planning tips. Fundraising events that raise more funds are usually events that happen consistently year-after-year – something that people expect and look forward to.
As part of the new myEWB-USA, we are also transitioning to a new platform for accepting online donations. We have not turned off your chapter’s old donation page yet, but we will – so it is important to update your chapter website now with the link to your new donation page.
These instructions were sent to chapter officers and you can find them in the member news feed on myEWB-USA.
You will have two action items out of this session today:
Fundraise during the year-end campaign
Update the donation link on your chapter’s website.
A fundraising campaign is defined as:
An intensive fundraising effort designed to raise a specified sum of money within a defined time period, to meet a pre-determined need.
So there are three key points there:
You are raising a specific amount of money
During a defined time period
For a pre-determined need
We’ll come back to this as we talk about the five stages of the fundraising campaign.
Year End Campaign
Why is the year-end period such an important time for fundraising?
40% of annual donations occur at year end
Average online gift is larger during the 4th quarter.
It’s the giving season. This is the time of year when donors are making their philanthropic plans. It’s the holiday season and people WANT to give. If you are not there to help them with their charitable giving decisions, another organization will be.
It’s also the last opportunity to make a tax deductible donation for the year. I’ll come back to this point because it is something you can use in your messaging.
Important Clarification: For the purposes of the year-end campaign, we are talking about seeking donations from individuals. From Mike, from Julie, from your Mom.
We aren’t talking about corporate giving – each company will have a different time of year when they are in a position to make a financial commitment. And we aren’t talking about grants, which also have their own timelines and deadlines.
So we are talking about fundraising from individuals.
And even if you don’t use these materials, if you aren’t going after the prizes that are offered. This is the time of year that your chapter will get the greatest return on your effort. This is the time of year that you will fundraise most effectively from individuals – so you should focus your efforts here.
This is a trend that holds true across the sector – it’s true for EWB-USA and it’s true for almost all non-profits.
There are 5 stages of fundraising campaigns:
Plan & Prepare – this is where you will spend most of your time
Launching the campaign – kicking off fundraising
Engaging your chapter and your supporters during the campaign
Finishing up the campaign
And then following up with your supporters after the campaign
Earlier we talked about the three elements that define a fundraising campaign:
A specified
Defined time period
Pre-Determined Need.
For the year-end campaign, we’ve defined some of these things for you:
Defined Time Period: December 1-31, 2015
Primary Vehicle: Online donations through fundraising for EWB-USA.
There are some things your chapter will define:
Specified Sum of Money: This should be determined by your chapter’s financial need at this time.
Pre-Determined Need: We’ll go more in depth on how you can tell this story. Why are you fundraising? This will be determined by your chapter’s project activities, what’s coming up in the next year. Investing time now to set your chapter up for success next year.
How you will tell your story: Theme, Supporters, Goal, Messaging, Images
The theme for this year’s campaign is Stronger Together – one of the core values in the new strategic plan. It underlines that we are all one organization working toward a common goal. It also speaks to our partnerships with our community partners – we’ve come together to achieve something together.
Donors respond to requests that are fresh & a new theme helps create a new experience for your donors.
Because we want to speak as one voice as an organization, we use one theme to unite everyone’s fundraising efforts.
We would not be able to implement successful projects without the donors who trust us with their money and empower us to achieve our mission.
Treat your donors like they are your heroes.
3 levels of engagement:
Casual
Connected
Committed
Your casual donors are people who maybe came to your fundraiser that one time. They may give again, they may not.
Most likely donors are connected & committed. They’ve probably given before. They believe in the mission of the organization and the work your chapter is doing.
Discussion: How does your chapter identify these individuals?
Donors give to people, not organizations. Your personal appeal to the people you know and care about is a very powerful ask.
Identifying Prospective Donors:
An exercise you can use is treasure mapping. USE THIS AS AN ACTIVITY
Chapter in the middle, surround it by people who will fundraise for your chapter. Surround this with all of the groups of people you come into contact with on a regular basis: book club, gym friends, co-workers, classmates, family. These individuals are your prospects.
NOTE:
I didn’t have great results with this at the Southeast. This is when I realized they didn’t know we were talking about individual fundraising because they put corporations, rotary, etc.
At the South Central, we were short on time, so I drew it out on the board. People seemed to get it, but I told them – they didn’t tell me.
GOAL
You will need to set a fundraising goal for this campaign. It should be challenging, but attainable. So if you raised $1,000 last year – a safe goal will be $1,000. You may want to reach for $1,200 or $1,500. Your goal amount should be based on the financial need your chapter will have for the upcoming year.
You also want your goal to be realistic given the timeframe.
True if you are fundraising for a specific project, an aspect of a project budget (travel, materials), or general funding for your chapter.
Campaigns should generally be short – maximum one month – which is the case with the year-end campaign. Short timeline creates a sense of urgency and gives context to your goal.
Goal gives something for everyone to rally behind – you are all on the same team together. Both your donors and your chapter members feel like they are part of something.
Your message is the story you will tell about what will be possible with the support of your donors.
Include personal, real life stories.
Success and accomplishments – donors want to be on a winning team and see the results of their donations
Why do you need their support? Current project & location. Think about what you’ve learned through Planning Monitoring Evaluation & Learning. You already have this story captured in the 901 baseline study, 901b impact monitoring report, and the logical framework your team developed.
You want this story to answer questions such as: Why does the community want this project? What change do they hope to see because of it? How will this project impact their lives? How are you partnering with them?
So let’s take 5 minutes to brainstorm how we would answer these questions for our chapter and what we plan to accomplish in 2016.
These questions will help you create your personal fundraising story.
So talk to your neighbor.
Resist the temptation to talk about technology specifics – calculations and materials. You are with like-minded people here, who also like to nerd out on those type of things and your conversation will go there if you let it. But let’s focus also on telling this story to people like me who are not engineers.
Note: this word of warning is important. Every presentation I’ve given where I try to get them to talk about these type of issues evolves into the type of conversation engineers have with each other. But they need to practice telling the story.
Images convey emotion – primary motivator of donors.
Photos of people are more moving.
Highlight your partner community.
If you use a video – no longer than 2 minutes.
You want to make sure the photos that our consistent with our values as an organization and how we work.
The message your photo sends:
Show Dignity
Consistent with our values as an organization (community-owned, community-driven).
Avoid Poverty Porn – pictures where people would feel self-conscious if they knew, pictures of sick kids. ASPCA or Save the Children types of commercials – that’s not who we are as an organization
I think these photos are good examples. The photo of Anna comes from the 2014 annual report – and I like that it tells a personal story about how she will be impacted by the project. I also like these photos where community members are engaged in learning about their water (bottom) and where there are kids really excited about water coming on.
After you’ve done all that planning, it will be time to launch the campaign.
Kick-off the campaign by making the ask! Don’t be shy about.
EWB-USA is a great organization, your chapter is doing great work. You should be proud of that and don’t be afraid to share it.
Make your ask personal. Use your donor’s names.
Personalize your message. It will result in greater returns.
There was an interesting study done by Kiva – donors are more motivated to give as the campaign is nearing the goal. Feel like donation has greater impact. They want to be on a winning team.
Take away:
Start with your committed and connected donors. Those donors who will give anyway. Ask them to give early to help kick off a successful campaign and start the momentum.
Your chapter members
Your mom & dad
During your campaign you will see the most donations come in at the beginning and at the end. There will be trough in the middle. Don’t be discouraged by that.
But do keep up the momentum throughout your campaign and do keep your supporters engaged – this might be in the form of weekly emails or regular social media posts.
Each week of the campaign you can share more details about your partner community and the project you are working on together.
You can also acknowledge your supporters that have already donated.
Keep your donors up-to-date. Someone that gave early in the campaign may see you nearing your goal and want to help get you over the top. Some people may give more than once.
FINISH
You also want to finish strong. If you are engaging with your supporters, you should expect to see another surge in the last days of the campaign.
Shift your messaging at the end of the campaign.
This is the last push. Help put us over our goal. How close are you to making it?
If you hit your goal, increase it and tell your donors how much more you will be able to do.
Send out a last minute email on December 30 or 31. There are people that wait until the last minute.
You can include messaging on taking advantage of the year-end tax deduction.
Make some calls.
It helps give the extra push.
As hard as it is to make the call, it’s just as hard for your supporter to say no.
DISCUSSION: Who has made fundraising calls? What do you usually say? What could you say?
After campaign ends, what you do will determine how likely the donor is to give again. To become a committed and connected supporter.
When they give through EWB-USA, we will provide an automated message that says “thanks, here’s your tax receipt.”
But to transition a supporter to be committed and connected, you will need to make a personal connection.
So in January, send a personalized thank you.
Keep the thank you personal.
Use the donor name.
You may even call the donors that you know personally or that are the biggest supporters of your chapter.
And then follow-up throughout the year. You shouldn’t only be in touch with your supporters when you are fundraising. After a project trip, follow-up with an update on what you were able to accomplish with their support.
To review what we’ve talked about so far:
Between now and the end of November – prepare your contact list. Identify who you will ask to make a donation and have their contact information ready.
Work on the story you will tell during the campaign. With the support of your donors, what will your chapter be able to accomplish next year?
Gather the images or videos that will pull them in.
There are weekly prizes available during the year-end campaign this year -- $2,000 in prizes each week.
$1,000 to the chapter that raises the most money that week
$1,000 to the chapter with the largest number of donations that week
Donations do need to be over $5.
Don’t let the prizes be your primary motivation. They would be a nice bonus, but remember that this is the most effective time of year to seek individual donations. Prizes or not, with a little bit of planning, you will come out ahead by fundraising this time of year.
Just a reminder that we have lots of fundraising resources on the website. Whenever you think about fundraising, go there as a starting point.
Remember your two action items for today:
Fundraise during the year end campaign
Update the link to your chapter’s donation page from your chapter’s website
Questions Received at Conference:
What is the average amount raised by chapters during the year end campaign?
We have data on donations received in December – whether it was part of the year end campaign or the donation just happened to be made then.
Average gift: $224
Don’t let that intimate you. There are a couple donors -- $10,000 or $15,000 that skew it up. Not every chapter will have a donor like that. One university chapter asks each of their members to ask 10 people to make a $10 donation.
We saw a dip in participation in 2014 – we believe because there were not prizes offered. But also because chapter’s didn’t realize they were missing the best time of year to do individual fundraising.
A goal between $1,000-$5,000 should be very achievable for almost chapters.
Chapters that raised over $10,000: 2014 5 chapters 2013 12 chapters
$5,000-$10,000: 2014 11 chapters 2013 22 chapters
$1,000-$5,000: 2014 46 chapters 2013 72 chapters
$500-$1,000: 2014 32 chapters 2013 30 chapters
$100-$500: 2014 60 chapters 2013 45 chapters
