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.

Grants are always an in demand commodity. Everyone loves the idea of being able to receive funds to further a mission or program without having to repay those funds. This eagerness is often taken advantage of by individuals and companies who range from slightly unethical to those who are blatantly dishonest and deceitful.
Digital Teams in 2018: The New Landscape of Digital Engagement – Jason MogusNetSquared Vancouver
The state of digital teams inside our nonprofits often reflects deeper issues of culture and structure and how well adapted our institutions are to today's communications landscape. So what's going on with digital teams today? What team structures, roles, and behaviours are producing the best outcomes? Are we getting better at cross-silo and cross-channel communications? Are we set up to really deliver on the promise of digital engagement?

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.

It’s inevitable—at some point in your fundraising career, you will need to write a grant proposal. It may be for a private foundation, the marketing department of a major corporation, or a local community foundation. What they all have in common is giving the funder what they ask for. To do that, we’ll walk through how to figure out what you’re asking for and how to best communicate it; how to research a funder; when to communicate with a potential donor; how to put together the proposal; how to report your results, and funder pet peeves.
Did you know that the organization giving away money, has as much difficulty giving away its money, as do those applying to get this money? Find out the hidden millions awaiting your effective proposal. This can be a full day, a half day or a lunch and learn workshop for you or your group.
Successful grant and funding proposals are key to the ongoing success and development of your agency. But creating a well-developed and comprehensive proposal can be difficult for even an experienced writer. To secure funding, you need to know the ins and outs of proposal writing. You need to understand how expectations differ from agency to agency and funder to funder.
Chris Hylton's Grant and Proposal Writing seminar has already helped agencies across the country train and develop the skills they need to access the funding dollars they need for community projects and initiatives. You will learn the proposal-writing process in its entirety, and be able to develop a draft proposal or work on an existing grant proposal with Chris.
The seminar provides you with a comprehensive overview of effective grant proposal techniques, finding best-fit funding sources, and planning for funding sustainability. As participants in the previous seminars can attest, this training session walks you through the key points in developing an effective funding proposal. You have the critical one-on-one support you need to get your questions answered and to develop the skills you need to succeed.
This session is all about efficient grant writing and how to make the most of the proposals you write. First, we’ll look at the broad concepts of grant writing – what to do and what not to do in terms of background, writing style, timing, etc. Then we’ll take an in-depth look at each of the proposal’s sections with an eye toward creating content that puts your agency in the best light.

Storytelling with Data (Global Engagement Summit at Northwestern University 2...Sara Hooker
Delta Analytics facilitated a workshop aimed at nonprofits in the initial stages of data collection. This workshop was hosted at the 2017 Global Engagement Summit at Northwestern.
The goal of the workshop is to equip social impact organizations with the tools necessary to start telling their story using data. This workshop was led by Sara Hooker and Jonathan Wang.
Delta Analytics is a 501(c)3 nonprofit that collaborates with non-profits all over the to generate positive social impact through key data insights and management services. Driven by a passion for numbers and dedication to community engagement, we help public service organizations with all their data-driven needs. Our mission, quite simply, is data for change.
A Foundation Grants program is the base of every philanthropy program. An organization constructs its case for support which acts as the main commercial for the organization. Prospect research, planning and communications are also discussing in this presentation.
A strong grants program can be the key to a sustainable nonprofit organization. Grants are the funding of many organization's operating expenses and special programs, allowing donors to donate to funds that are critical to the expansion of your mission. So how does your organization find, and keep, these types of grants? Cindy Adams, CEO of GrantStation.com joins Jeffrey Sobers, Senior Product Marketing Manager for Blackbaud's Financial Solutions to discuss how you can create a strong grants program at your nonprofit. This discussion will include recent trends from GrantStation's State of Grantseeking Survey, tips to writing award winning proposals, and how to leverage GrantStation and The Financial Edge to develop a strong grants program.

40. Remember this… Successful grants require real needs and logical project descriptions. Fluff and slight-of-hand have no place in a grant proposal, and if you don't know what you want to do and why you want to do it a funding source isn't going to be too interested in handing you money. Grants are PART of an overall funding strategy-a small part. Nationally, you can expect to see less than 15% of your total philanthropy coming from grants. Higher expectations lead to disappointment.
