Helicopters or Helpers: Using social media for parent engagement and fundrais...Susan T. Evans
Parents of college students continue to hover as much as they did when their children were high school students. They want to be involved, they need to be involved, they WILL be involved. We also know that parent giving to higher education is on the rise and, interestingly, parents often feel more connected to the institutions their children attend than they do to their own alma maters. Social channels offer a powerful engine for driving communication and engagement with parents, especially when integrated with your website content. We'll talk about what works and how to get more bang—and maybe more bucks—from parents on social. Whether or not you have a formal parent program at your institution, you'll benefit from this discussion about this important stakeholder group. This presentation was part of the program for the 2013 CASE Social Media and Community Conference.

Thanks to computers, it is easier to collect and obtain data for a grant proposal than ever before. There’s so much data, though, that it can difficult to determine which data to present—especially when grant applications only allow concise answers.
This webinar explains which data grantmakers are looking for, and where to present statistics and other information within the grant proposal. Multiple examples from actual, funded grant proposals will show how data solves grant writers’ most knotty problems by creating need statements, formulating project objectives, devising evaluation measures, and more.

Learning and Development: Preventing Generational Poverty | Economic opportun...angela_silveira
The persistence of poverty in America and the dramatic increase of economic inequality in recent decades have garnered growing public awareness. Isn't the United States at least a land of economic opportunity, in which those who start lower on the economic ladder have a reasonable expectation that they, or their children, might advance into the middle class? Or are we at risk of being a caste society, in which multiple generations are trapped in a cycle of relative deprivation, while others inherit the security of a “gilded” lifestyle?
Important recent research by social scientists has shown that intergenerational economic mobility in the United States is low compared with many other wealthy countries, and that opportunity is unevenly distributed across the country. In this presentation, Professor Sundstrom will summarize some of these findings, including what they have to say about opportunity in the Silicon Valley region. He will provide an overview of the potential causes of intergenerational persistence in income status, and the implications for community and policy strategies for increasing opportunity.

Nonprofits today are faced with unprecedented challenges, and yet we continue to approach board leadership using concepts from thirty years ago. As our organizations enter into new territory, so our boards need to lead differently - yet we continue to put our efforts into getting the structure 'right'. But there is no magical number of board members or committees, or use of Robert's Rules of Order or Consent agendas, that will transform our boards into the strategic thinkers or powerful decision makers they need to be. Instead, structure must be seen as only the foundation - and board behavior and dynamics approached in a new way - to lead effectively into the future.

Building your brand – A practical guide for nonprofit organizations4Good.org
This "brand 101″ session is designed to help nonprofit leadership and board members understand the basic concepts around developing and maintaining a strong brand.
Many entrepreneurs – social, triple bottom line or otherwise – do not avail themselves of all potential capital sources when seeking funding to grow or scale, limiting prospects to cash flow their initiatives. This seminar explores a range of options for funding: external in the marketplace, internal within an organization, new ideas and classics not to overlook.
Most nonprofits involve volunteers in program areas and administrative areas. You might not be aware, however, of the many ways you can involve volunteers in your fundraising activities. This webinar will outline ways you can involve volunteers in fundraising, where to find volunteers, how to recruit them, and how to keep them enthused about your organization.
Could your mission statement describe any of several other organizations that are similar to yours? Do you just haul it out once a year for your annual report and 990? If you’ve been around for many years, you’re clear about your nonprofit’s value to your community, your stakeholders and/or your cause, why bother to revisit your mission statement?
The answers to these questions can make the difference between sustainable success and failure in several ways. Organizations that have a page-long mission statements and think that any effort to review it would be just empty wordsmithing may want to join us for this webinar to see what a rigorously crafted mission statement can do for marketing, fundraising, stakeholder loyalty, strategy, and managing change.

Nonprofit Blogging Best Practices: Why Your Nonprofit Needs a Blog and How to...4Good.org
Despite the popularity of social media including “micro-blogging” sites like Tumblr and twitter, traditional blogging is still one of the most important tools in your digital marketing arsenal.
Larger nonprofits have been early adopters of blogging, seeing the benefits in increased website traffic, email sign ups and online donations. A consistent, quality blog has been proven to have a direct benefit on marketing and fundraising efforts – so why do so many nonprofits ignore this powerful tool?
The question remains: How can smaller nonprofits get on board with blogging and create a dynamic outlet that grows their supporters and helps them accomplish their goals?
Why are some nonprofits successful at attracting funding while others struggle? How do funders differentiate between the myriad of nonprofits that want their money? How has the process of successfully approaching funders changed?

Four Great Hormones to Stimulate Well-Being4Good.org
Recent neuroscience research has verified that the well-being that comes from meaningful conversations depends upon four hormones that we have the ability to either stimulate or depress in ourselves and in others. This Webinar will deal with the four and explain their role in personal and interpersonal well-being.
What do you do when someone signs up for your email list or donates to your organization? Do they have to wait until your next “monthly” newsletter to learn more about who you are and what you do? If so, you are missing out on a huge opportunity to engage, inspire and motivate your supporters to take action.
One of the best ways to engage with new subscribers (or new donors for that matter) is to create what is called a “Welcome Series” of emails. These emails are set to automatically be sent to the individual over the course of a few weeks – Day 1 they get an email, day 4 they get another email, day 8 they get yet another email, etc. These emails are designed to introduce yourself and your organization to the individual, as well as show them the impact your organization is having and why they should stay connected.
Sounds like a great idea and something all nonprofits should be doing right? The problem is that most nonprofits are not currently using a Welcome Series and are missing out on this powerful tool. If this includes your organization, then join us for this jam-packed webinar where we highlight a number of successful strategies and tactics you can start using immediately including:
- Why a Welcome Series is so powerful (Its all about the relationship)
- How to create an engaging and compelling Welcome Series
- How and why you should have multiple Welcome Series’ – subscribers, donors, attendees, etc.
- How a Welcome Series can increase your donor retention

Mission and Leadership: Work Motivation That Strikes a Chord4Good.org
Most organizations have a formalized mission statement. Too often it is merely posted on a wall in the conference room. Often, employees grow cynical and state that the organization’s mission statement is just that: an empty statement. However, other organizations follow a structured process that allows their managers to lead with integrity while using the core principles of mission-driven organizations.
In this extremely practical presentation, that Dr. Eyal Ronen has never shared in the past, he will describe the practical steps to creating a clear mission, vision, and values for the organization. He will also describe the 4 things every leader must do in order to be effective in accomplishing his or her, and the organization’s mission.

Have You Been Sequestered?—Developing Diverse Sources of Revenue4Good.org
Many nonprofits are excessively dependent upon a single type of revenue. The classic example is the organization which is only funded through government contracts or grants.

In this webinar, volunteer leaders, agency CEO's and chief development officers will learn the value of diversifying the sources of revenue so as to enhance financial sustainability.
