What is social media? What is web 2.0? Why should I care and how is it going to impact my bottom line? Around every corner you turn these days we hear about social media, bloggers, social networking. The list goes on and on. EDA Consulting is hosting a low-cost webinar to show you just what these tools are, how you can use them, and how to connect them directly to fundraising and communications.
Using social media is just one tool for developing you fundraising and communications strategy. They are an entry point and can be used as part of a larger plan to help you achieve your funding goals. We will look at models such as Students for a Free Tibet and the Obama campaign as prime examples of how organizations can raise tens of thousands and even millions of dollars through social media. Just like that crazy thing called the internet, it looks as though social media is here to stay, so take a short time to learn more about it from the comfort of your own computer.
Emily Davis will facilitate the training, answer your questions, and help you to walk away with a clearer sense of what this whole social media concept is and how it can benefit you and your organization. For more details visit the EDA Consulting website. You will receive call in and log in instructions in your confirmation email and the day before the webinar.

Has Social Media Fundraising Finally Arrived?4Good.org
The increasing adoption of social media and online fundraising platforms are finally colliding to bring about real social media fundraising. In the past two years, there have been social media fundraising experiments and several new fundraising solutions developed to integrate with social media. We’ll review software that integrates completely with Facebook and Twitter applications for fundraising, such as Causes and Help Attack, and when you should utilize them. We’ll also look at best practices for online campaigns that are primarily amplified by Facebook and Twitter, and what helps them to succeed.

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.

27. Video is a Magnet for Your Web Site! “Most viral video of all time!” Could her story be told in any other manner as strongly?
Today, we are going to cover several aspects of technology as it pertains to fundraising. In the past, we’ve struggled to simplify this enough to be able to cover it all in one session. Now, we feel like we’ve been able to effectively summarize all of these separate avenues of technology but most importantly paint the picture of how all of these tools can come together and work for you, regardless of shape or size.
Economy a hot button now and it seems to be sort of the underlying theme in most presentations these days. Forcing organizations to change the ways of thinking and operating In our experience, a lot of gloom and doom, but we are already starting to see that organizations that are forging ahead and continuing to invest in their mission are beginning to emerge Open the floor for opinions on how the economy has affected overall giving
Studies show that people are still giving – although they might be changing the WAY they give, which you need to be aware of and understand how to interact and follow-up We’ve also seen a significant increase in Online Donations. Not sure how much that is connected to the economy but people are more inclined than ever to find out about you and support your mission online To audience: Have you stopped giving? Have you changed the way you give?
How can we apply these ideas and concepts that have been around for years into technology?? That’s what we’ll explore today. segue ----To audience: Where is the first place you go to find information about any topic?
Regardless of how sexy your site is, the “Field of Dreams” concept doesn’t exactly apply…

How many of you have typed your name into Yahoo or Google??
Now they are the creators of content
Now lets talk about some other methods of increasing awareness and reach on the web. Technology has really revolutionized the way people are finding you or information about you on the internet. To audience: Does anyone have a strategy when it comes to online/social media?
Social Media by definition More than anything, it’s the use of technology for the real-time sharing of information among millions of people!! Connecting People and RECONNECTING people Growth of Twitter – we’ve talked about it for years!
This table outlines the concept and transition well. Where have we come in 10 years? It used to be a one-way electronic “brochure” of information. Now, it’s engaging people, influencing action, etc.
University of Massachusetts did a recent study of the usage of Social Media by Nonprofits in the US
Some interesting stats from that study…
Perception of Social Media has changed – everyone is using it! You cannot ignore the potential outreach (Google is #1) (Yahoo #2)
Provides a strong avenue for your organization to broadcast testimonials and describe how you are serving the community
Viral Effect Video can elicit emotion Testimonials

To Audience: Have you heard of Broadcast your cause? Specifically built for Nonprofits
Catholic Relief Services
A week later, they changed the Subject Line (gave sense of urgency) Added hotspot text (taking end-user back to online giving page) Added emotional video appeal (Only a link to the video – on Youtube) Raised $112K
Continuously changing content of the letter Multi-channel communications (Facebook – “keep an eye out for our e-mail”)
Difference between Personal Page & Organizational/Cause Page
PODCASTS! Who does these?? The neat thing about these is that you can take a good look at these, and borrow some ideas.
Msg boards. Driving traffic to your website. Letting people discuss how breast cancer has affected their life or their loved ones. We happen to have a division of eTapestry that can help you with doing this.

To audience: Does anyone sell items/tickets on your website?
How would you continue the relationship with this constituent?
Jay’s major giving at Butler story.
What information do you want to know “at a glance” about one of your constituents?
Does your organization track relationships in your “database” now?
END WITH: How many people here are currently utilizing a web-based application for database purposes?
segue: H
Besides social media platforms, communications in general have seen a HUGE transition. Donors still expect to be communicated with. The obvious answer for most seems to be E-mail.
To add a little more insight into today’s typical supporter… We’ve seen a lot of changes in habits
A lot of groups we talk to are still in the infant stages of collecting e-mail addresses and taking advantage
This is why your E-mail list MUST be connected to a database. Otherwise, the segmentation opportunity is not there
With eTapestry, our philosophy is to make EVERYTHING work together in regards to building and sending these e-mails.
We’re sending them as an HTML-formatted e-mail
In the database, you get reports with complete click-through statistics
To audience: Has anyone here ever tested a mass e-mail on your PDA’s or handheld devices?
Something tangible – a plan of attack you can take home and use
