The CSR Scene: From Checkbook Philanthropy to Authentic EngagementVolunteerMatch
This stimulating session offered a perspective on how
corporate community involvement has evolved over the
past 20 years. We explored the key trends in philanthropy
and corporate social responsibility (CSR), examined the
challenges companies and nonprofits face in working
together to achieve authentic engagement, and took a
peek at what may be coming down the line. The “CSR

From the Vocus monthly webinar series: "Analyzing the Impact of Social Media:
From Twitter to Facebook".
Today, the barriers to communication are breaking down. Social media has removed the filters between your company and the public. As a public relations professional, you have to be prepared to control your message and your brand.
"Stop the Funding: Social Sector is Fully Resourced." Until we see this headline across our newsfeeds, the corporate sector must continue to innovate on ways to build nonprofit capacity. Pro bono and skilled volunteering can connect the dots between the shortage of resources and the wealth of skills in the private sector. With 76% of nonprofits reporting an increase in demand for their services and over 50% unable to meet the demand, skilled volunteering programs offer a tremendous value to an organization’s infrastructure allowing for increased capacity and expanded programming. Taproot Foundation led a panel discussion with leading corporate
and nonprofit partners who shared real-life examples of succeeding at, stumbling with, and scaling skilled volunteer and pro bono programs! Attendees heard from experts and
walked away with tools supporting an increased engagement in pro bono and skilled volunteering.
The document provides 10 tips for nonprofit organizations to have a successful year-end fundraising campaign. The tips include mapping out fundraising goals and timeline, telling compelling stories to connect with donors, segmenting audiences for targeted messaging, optimizing websites and donation pages, utilizing various channels to promote fundraising, focusing on mobile optimization, leveraging Giving Tuesday and New Year's Eve, prioritizing donor relationships after the campaign, and analyzing campaign results. Following these tips can help nonprofits make or break their annual budgets during the critical last two months of the year.

Breaking Silos To Break Bank: Shattering The Divide Between Search And SocialNavah Hopkins

We finished by going through how they can win together including UTM audits, harvesting comments from both to inform creative, and allowing for non-login forums to be part of your marketing strategy.

Editor's Notes
-How technology has changed the giving landscape: no longer do people just write checks, or even go to a website to fill out a donation form. There are so many ways, platforms and opportunities to connect with and engage potential donors. It can be overwhelming, but it’s important for fundraisers to stay on top of these trends. We’re in the age where everyone can be a philanthropist – thanks to social media and easy, tech-based ways to give – anyone can donate at any time. It means consumers are bombarded with asks from every platform imaginable and from all sort of brands – this presents a challenge to nonprofits – but also an opportunity.
While the format of how people give has changed, the why hasn’t really changed all that much. People act from the heart, not the head. They need to feel inspired, connected, etc. It’s that emotional touch. (INSERT personal anecdote of why you give to the nonprofits you give to –it’s because of those connections)

They need to feel inspired, connected, etc. It’s that emotional touch. (INSERT personal anecdote of why you give to the nonprofits you give to –it’s because of those connections)
Go out to as many relevant events as possible, host open houses, make sure you’re actually mingling when you go to conferences, etc. How many times have you gone to a conference or an event and been sitting next to someone and not introduced yourself? Or seen someone sitting and taken a seat a few chairs away to give them space? Don’t do that! Capitalize on every opportunity to meet someone and tell them about your organization. You may have seen that new research from Facebook - Each person in the world (at least among the 1.59 billion people active on Facebook) is connected to every other person by an average of three and a half other people. The more connections you personally make as a fundraiser, the more potential donors you’ll be able to reach in a meaningful way.
ANECDOTES - Share examples of random people you’ve connected with at events/at dinners/etc. and how those relationships have lead to additional connections and helped nonprofits find new supporters.
Donors do not want to hear about your organization and the programs you provide. They want to hear about the social impact that is made possible through their donations. Knowing and understanding impact is what makes donors feel like they are making a tangible difference in the world and are part of something much bigger than themselves. There are multiple ways to do this – and telling stories is the most powerful. Make sure anecdotes get captured – in whichever format makes sense for your organization. Focus on people, and how their lives have changed. This picture is from a Tumblr blog from Girls Who Code, an org that works with young girls to teach them computer coding skills. It’s really about showing supporters the people whose lives their touching.
-Talk about these points.
An online fundraising study found that the average nonprofit with a donation page within their website raised five times more than a nonprofit that sent donors to an external, unbranded donation site. At this point, most nonprofits have a “donate” page on their site, but many suffer from offering a poor user experience to potential donors. It should be incredibly easy for donors to make a donation when they see your homepage. You don’t want people turning away because there are too many lines to fill out in a form or because they can’t read the text on mobile.
Talk through these points.
Your donors are giving you money because they want you to use it to make the world better. Most donors will want to know how their donation is being used – specifically. Give concrete dollar amounts and what each contribution will enable your organization to do in the community you serve.
This example on the left is from Fugees family, a nonprofit that’s focused on using soccer and education to help child survivors of war heal. Example on the right – from Adventure Project – empowers donors to be the ones saying where the funds should go. It really helps the giving feel more concrete. To boost the effectiveness of this approach, include compelling photos or videos showing these supplies being utilized.
By adding a permanent fundraising option on your website, you can allow supporters to use their birthdays – athletic goals, weddings, milestones, or any other life events for that matter – as the perfect occasion to support your cause. And because your donor base will no doubt be celebrating birthdays and other life events all year round, you can create a consistent revenue stream, just from this one campaign initiative.
Example above is from Nothing But Nets – birthday fundraisers are a great way to empower people to ask their communities to give. Just make sure it’s easy for donors to see this option on your site – and promote it through social media, newsletters, etc. You might also want to list the donors who have already donated their birthdays, etc. on the site or on social media to inspire others to do the same.
. Speak about personal experience doing this and what it involved.
. Just like brands hire mommy bloggers to spread the word about your product, you should look out for the people who have influence within potential donor communities and ask them if they’re willing to help be an ambassador. These are people who may have volunteered with you, donate frequently, share your content on social media, good friends of the organization, etc. The key is not just to ask these people for help vaguely but to give them the tools they need to help promote and get donations on an ongoing basis – think about creating an Ambassador Kit with social posts, how to host a fundraiser, the top 10 things you can do to support us, etc.
. $500 may seem like a lot to ask your average donor, but what if you’re asking for less than $50/month? That’s less of a big ask – and it keeps the funds coming. Creating a “club” of insiders who give every month lets people feel like they’re supporting you on an ongoing basis and that they’re truly part of the organization. Be sure to communicate regularly with these people to make sure you’re telling them about the impact they’re creating. Adventure Project, shown on this slide, calls theirs “The Collective” and promises to share monthly stories of how The Collective’s donations are being used to impact someone’s lives. Be sure to have this option on your standard website donate form so people know they have this opportunity to be part of a community and create impact on a monthly basis.
. In 2014, Forbes reported that 30% of the $5 billion raised through crowd funding over the course of a year went to social causes. That’s $1.5 billion. And the numbers continue to grow. Crowfunding is a huge opp – and you can use a range of platforms depending on what’s right for you.
Crowdrise is a crowdfunding platform focused on empowering the fundraiser. They are going right to the source of the crowdfunding and empowering individuals that may or may not have ties to a nonprofit to start a campaign. They have a focus on endurance event fundraising, including a place to browse events, including the New York City Marathon and 2013 Spartan Races, and to fundraise for or give to those events.
Indiegogo is a crowdfunding site for a variety of businesses and individuals, but also with a dedicated category to verified nonprofits looking to fund their campaigns. These campaigns would be considered grassroots, including disaster relief campaigns like that for Hurricane Sandy or the Restore the Shore campaign, which raised $1.04 million.
CauseVox is a platform tailored for nonprofits and social good projects. . You can customize your donation page using one of the pre-made templates or by creating one of your own. Boasting the ability for non-profits to easily change the look of their fundraising page without a developer, CauseVox makes it easy to embed multimedia – like videos or Flickr slideshows – just by pasting a link.
Perhaps one of the most buzzed about crowdfunding platforms, Kickstarter is a way to fund projects. It’s open to project-makers of any kind, but Kickstarter makes clear that it is about funding for projects, not charity or cause-related fundraising.
. Talk through these points.
People are going to decide to give when they’re engaged and believe in your brand. This doesn’t happen overnight. It requires ongoing, consistent points of engagement – both before and after they donate. You have to build the relationship over time – through these types of marketing channels:
email campaigns – provide an update on the nonprofit’s latest developments and tell a specific story
Thank you notes – send thank yous to your donors to tell them how their donation has helped.
Social media engagement – upload pictures from on-the-ground work and tweet at your supporters thanking them for sharing your content, etc.
Creating content and videos – the more content you have, the more you can draw supporters to your site and the more likely people are going to be to remember you the next time a conversation comes up.
Events – host community events – possibly movie screenings, panels, etc. that offer value to your community and keep them connected to you
Be clear on the messages you want to send – and send them frequently and strategically, since there’s a lot of noise to compete with.
Showing is a far more compelling storytelling device than simply telling. Instead of merely telling your donors they’re making a difference, show them as concretely as you can – and use data, along with stories, to do it.
Whether it’s on your home page, in a social media post or in a video – data is one of the most powerful ways to both get new donors and compel existing ones to continue giving. It’s both about showing your own impact and to help illustrate the problem you’re solving in the first place.
Types of things you can show: how many jobs you’ve created, how many countries you work in, a percentage increase in economic growth, a percentage decreases for a specific illness, a number of people from your program who have gone on to graduate college for the first time. Of course, the specific data points will depend on your nonprofit, but it’s important for you to think about what type of data you want to collect ahead of time so you have the material and concrete examples you need to tell a compelling story of impact.
