- By Heather Thomas
This interactive workshop is structured so that you walk away with a rough plan to meet your funding needs. We’ll explore how your organisational strategy impacts your funding outlook, how to pitch your project to specific audiences, how to identify prospective donors and potential sources of funding.
Stories are more than fairy tales - they help businesses get found. They grab the attention of your audience, and turn them into loyal customers. If done properly. Here, we talk about how to uncover your own brand story, how to tell it well, and turn that audience into a captive one.

Brand Storytelling with Pinterest and Social MediaBlake Morgan
Whether you're a food truck, a gourmet foods company or a food news publisher, consistently using social tools can greatly increase your following. You can cook the best food but if you don't make it find-able, no one will know you’re cooking. All the social media tools can feel overwhelming, like a broth with too many ingredients. The key is to share your story using only the most relevant tools in a way that makes sense for your individual brand. So many of us are great at creating our products, but not at promoting them. Social media tools like Pinterest make it easier than ever to tell our stories and engage communities of fans online. In this session you will learn how to tell the story of your brand leveraging sites like Pinterest and gain tactical tools you can immediately apply to your own marketing and PR plan. We will be looking at a handful of successful case studies that will inspire you on your own brand storytelling journey.

The European Unemployment Puzzle: implications from population agingGRAPE
We study the link between the evolving age structure of the working population and unemployment. We build a large new Keynesian OLG model with a realistic age structure, labor market frictions, sticky prices, and aggregate shocks. Once calibrated to the European economy, we quantify the extent to which demographic changes over the last three decades have contributed to the decline of the unemployment rate. Our findings yield important implications for the future evolution of unemployment given the anticipated further aging of the working population in Europe. We also quantify the implications for optimal monetary policy: lowering inflation volatility becomes less costly in terms of GDP and unemployment volatility, which hints that optimal monetary policy may be more hawkish in an aging society. Finally, our results also propose a partial reversal of the European-US unemployment puzzle due to the fact that the share of young workers is expected to remain robust in the US.

how can I sell pi coins after successfully completing KYCDOT TECH
Pi coins is not launched yet in any exchange 💱 this means it's not swappable, the current pi displaying on coin market cap is the iou version of pi. And you can learn all about that on my previous post.
RIGHT NOW THE ONLY WAY you can sell pi coins is through verified pi merchants. A pi merchant is someone who buys pi coins and resell them to exchanges and crypto whales. Looking forward to hold massive quantities of pi coins before the mainnet launch.
This is because pi network is not doing any pre-sale or ico offerings, the only way to get my coins is from buying from miners. So a merchant facilitates the transactions between the miners and these exchanges holding pi.
I and my friends has sold more than 6000 pi coins successfully with this method. I will be happy to share the contact of my personal pi merchant. The one i trade with, if you have your own merchant you can trade with them. For those who are new.

Tell story about Hilary Lucier: what it means to be in development and fundraising = creativity and leadership
Use flip chart to bring conversation together. Two columns: Personality and Skills
Personality:
2 points to make:
1.) These traits are what I like to think of myself as possessing on my best days. How about you guys, familiar? If you are like me, however, I really do mean this is me on my BEST days. I am not all of these things, all the time. Self care is important as you dig into the fundraising trenches. Giving 150% is important to get the job done well. So, pace yourself.
2.) The other way to be that person more often that not, of course, is skills development and planning. The hard skills help you to deliver your soft skills with more grace and consistency. So, let’s connect the dots here. Over to skills.
SKILLS notes:
For some reason it takes a long time for people to get to finance. I reinforce (and this makes people nervous at times) that they need to know how to read a Balance Sheet and interpret their org’s latest Annual Accounts (or forecast if they are newbies) and if they don’t, talk to your Finance person, Treasurer or find a mate who is an accountant. Numbers are a language and they tell stories that funders will expect you to be able to interpret.
Major point: all of the skills equate to relationship management. Event the hardest of skills like finance. The word relationship sometimes take people a long time to get to. If they aren’t getting to the words I expect to hear, I ask them to pause for a minute, close their eyes, picture a person in their lives who they’ve known for a long time, who they love, with whom they have had normal ups and downs and think about skills that have helped maintain that relationship. That always gets the ideas flowing. I often use this idea to reinforce the finance thing with a lighthearted, c’mon, anyone who is in a long term relationship knows that even money can be something that needs to be communicated well – or hey, even your flatmate pulling his/her weight. So, inherently in our personal lives we get that organisation, communication, forward planning, structure and finance skills play a roll. Now if that’s the case with your loved ones, it’s even more so in the professional world when effectively you’re trying to get people to share your passion for a cause.
If you’re wary about fundraising, let that go and get comfortable with story telling. I bet you’re a pro at that! Whether it’s telling someone about your trip down here or your child about the tooth fairy – storytelling is something we do everyday. Great stories are – ones you can relate to, ones with characters who have challenges that they overcome, and you get excited about going on the journey with them, ones that have messages that people can walk away with and remember, ones that make your story different from other people’s story. Ice bucket challenge: people were creating their OWN stories, and it had a feel good factor…RA, collection of amazing people, not paintings. Bring people along on the story and THEN make the ask.
But we’re NOT telling a bedtime story, we’re trying to fundraise. So, how do we adapt our storytelling in a professional way? One tool I really like working with is the Business Model Canvas. Whether you’re going for corporate, individual, trust and foundation or major donor money – this is a great place to start. It helps you go on the journey of WHY you exist (for your beneficiaries) to why it is relevant to the lives of the people you are raising money from to how you are going to identify those folks, to how you are going to reach them, to how you are going to measure your success to how you are going to pay for it!
Let’s move away from fundraising for a second to illustrate a point. Does everyone at a minimum realise that iTunes and Spotify are digital music services? Great! Now forget your biases or anything you know about them (don’t think about the pink elephant!). In your position as a consumer, how do you think these props are talking about different solutions to different problems? Are they talking to different people? Who do you think the person is that each are talking to? Do you get a picture of his/her lifestyle? Needs? Point is that language matters, not just word, but tone. And these simple sentences can be the hardest, but once you’ve cracked them, you’ve cracked your point of differentiation; where you add value that no one else does and why that’s important. It’s the essence of your fundraising story.
Prioritise! You only have so much time. A prospect list of 5000 is great, but how likely are all those people to give, and how much time do you have to do the asking and steward their gifts? Chances for short AND long term success depend on considering these points from the beginning. Here’s how to think through your next steps.
Make a list - what are you going to do next? Or, if have run out of time reflect. Major point being, it’s cyclical. Emphasize stewardship, emphasize learnings and how that feeds back in to the next campaign to make it stronger. A good exercise to get board and committee members on side too!
