This document discusses strategies for converting volunteers into donors. It notes that donors are decreasing while existing volunteers represent an untapped pool of potential donors. The key is to segment volunteers based on their capacity to give and communicate with them separately. Storytelling that creates an emotional connection and illustrates the impact of donations is important for inspiring a volunteer's first gift. Non-profits are encouraged to better recognize and manage volunteers in order to improve retention and giving rates. Diversifying communication channels and providing multiple engagement opportunities can also help convert more volunteers into sustained donors.

Donor Retention Education with Wayne Robbins - BloomerangBloomerang
https://bloomerang.co/retention
This session explores the Fundraising Effectiveness Project report commissioned by AFP and the Urban Institute. The dismal news in this report can and should be an eye opener for every nonprofit engaged in fundraising.
We will focus on the root causes of poor retention rates, and offer tips for improvement based on the principles of Dr. Adrian Sargeant and Tom Ahern: two world-renowned authorities on building donor loyalty. Sargeant and Ahern’s principles are based upon years of research conducted in the sector and can be used by any organization, whether you are a one-person shop or a large department. We will show examples of their principles in action. The results can be astounding when put into daily use!
Learning Outcomes:
- Be familiar with current research on donor retention and how an increase or decrease can impact your bottom line
- Understand how to calculate your donor retention rate
- Learn new donor communications techniques in order to improve donor loyalty and retention
I have posted the first version of the PledgeGo pitch deck. This is a high-level presentation of the PledgeGo model and the value we bring to our donors and charities.

Chive Charities has changed the giving paradigm. As opposed to using a cause to raise awareness and funds, Chive Charities uses the stories of individual grant recipients to raise awareness for the causes they support: veterans and first responders with medically-related needs and rare medical diagnoses.
2020 has turned the world upside down, leaving almost no business unscathed. Putting an emphasis on four key priorities, Chive Charities has found remarkable success - growing their community of support in a year that felt impossible to do so. Erika Carley, Chive Charities' Senior Director of Operations, will speak to our tech club about their work, their impact, and she will share insights regarding how to find growth in 2020 and beyond.

Introduction
There are so many parents that can’t afford for their children to go to school these, because it is very expensive. It is also highly expensive for adults as well. There are so many families out there that struggle to put food on their tables, clothes on their back, because time is truly hard. I think every child and adult deserves a chance to excel, and succeed in life. There is one particular organization that helps give everyone in need that chance, and to learn how to be their own person. This organization is called The United Way of Greenville County. The United Way of Greenville is a spectacular organization for a child to be in, to learn everything they need to know in school. It also helps adults get their GED, or high school diploma. The United Way of Greenville’s vision is for everyone in Greenville County to be successful in life. United Way of Greenville’s mission is to bring everyone together as a whole, and to help them learn. They want all of their graduates to be prepared and to find great jobs in the future . The United Way of Greenville constantly challenge their selves to quickly stay on their toes, to reach for greatness, to think outside of the box, and to work together to be able to build success for everyone in Greenville County.
United Way of Greenville’s Net Contributed Income
In 2017, The United Way of Greenville had raised an awesome amount of $16,662,591. In 2016, they have raised about $125,000 less then what they did last year. There were also no more than 1,500 volunteers (Mitchell, 2018). Although the United Way of Greenville is not quite the largest charity in town, they still manage to keep raising money, and maintain an incredibly well net income. United Way raises all of their money so they could help any, and everyone they possibly can to become successful in life. United way is strengthened by all of their supporters, staff, and all of the people they help support. I think The United Way of Greenville constantly keep increasing their number of donors, because if they keep increasing their income will definitely increase as well. United Way has donors that give them a great deal of money, because they believe in them and know they will continue to strive for their community. Any organization should build a good friendly relationship with all of their supporters, as well as their potential supporters. I think if you get in good with them, they would spread the work on how nice, and genuine your organization truly is.

Putting the SPARK into Virtual Training.pptxCynthia Clay
This 60-minute webinar, sponsored by Adobe, was delivered for the Training Mag Network. It explored the five elements of SPARK: Storytelling, Purpose, Action, Relationships, and Kudos. Knowing how to tell a well-structured story is key to building long-term memory. Stating a clear purpose that doesn't take away from the discovery learning process is critical. Ensuring that people move from theory to practical application is imperative. Creating strong social learning is the key to commitment and engagement. Validating and affirming participants' comments is the way to create a positive learning environment.

At its core, generative artificial intelligence relies on the concept of generative models, which serve as engines that churn out entirely new data resembling their training data. It is like a sculptor who has studied so many forms found in nature and then uses this knowledge to create sculptures from his imagination that have never been seen before anywhere else. If taken to cyberspace, gans work almost the same way.
Business Valuation Principles for EntrepreneursBen Wann

Enterprise Excellence is Inclusive Excellence.pdfKaiNexus
Enterprise excellence and inclusive excellence are closely linked, and real-world challenges have shown that both are essential to the success of any organization. To achieve enterprise excellence, organizations must focus on improving their operations and processes while creating an inclusive environment that engages everyone. In this interactive session, the facilitator will highlight commonly established business practices and how they limit our ability to engage everyone every day. More importantly, though, participants will likely gain increased awareness of what we can do differently to maximize enterprise excellence through deliberate inclusion.
What is Enterprise Excellence?
Enterprise Excellence is a holistic approach that's aimed at achieving world-class performance across all aspects of the organization.
What might I learn?
A way to engage all in creating Inclusive Excellence. Lessons from the US military and their parallels to the story of Harry Potter. How belt systems and CI teams can destroy inclusive practices. How leadership language invites people to the party. There are three things leaders can do to engage everyone every day: maximizing psychological safety to create environments where folks learn, contribute, and challenge the status quo.
Who might benefit? Anyone and everyone leading folks from the shop floor to top floor.

ACTION: Review your fundraising mix.
Diversification in fundraising may help weather economic uncertainty.
10. Volunteering provides physical and
mental rewards.
● Reduces stress: Experts report that
when you focus on someone other
than yourself, it interrupts usual
tension-producing patterns.
● Makes you healthier: Moods and
emotions, like optimism, joy, and
control over one’s fate, strengthen
the immune system.
It’s good for you
From Western CT State U
11. As a volunteer you help:
● Support families (daycare and
eldercare)
● Improve schools (tutoring,
literacy)
● Support youth (mentoring and
after-school programs)
● Beautify the community (beach
and park cleanups)
Volunteering
strengthens your
community
From Western CT State U
12. People like to support community
resources that they use themselves
or that benefit people they care
about.
You get a chance to
give back
From Western CT State U
13. Community service and volunteerism
are an investment in our community
and the people who live in it.
Volunteering
encourages civic
responsibility
14. Your volunteers are with you
because they want to impact
their community and see your
organization as one of the best
tools to do so.
Just like your donors.
15. Why do Volunteers STOP Volunteering?
“72.2% of nonprofit leaders felt that volunteers improve the quality of services or
programs provided to a great extent, but only 25.2% of funders agreed; and while
65.6% of nonprofit leaders report volunteers provide more detailed attention to
people served to a great extent, only 29.3% of funders agreed.”
- University of MD Study, 2022
16. Why do Volunteers STOP Volunteering?
“60% of charitable organizations and one-third of congregations with
social-service programs said they had paid staff working on volunteer
coordination. Among this pool, however, half reported spending less than 30%
of their time on the management of volunteers. Based on the results, the
report concludes that additional resources devoted to volunteer management
would generate more productivity from volunteers, thereby justifying the
investment of additional resources.”
- Urban Institute Study, 2004
17. Why do Volunteers STOP Volunteering?
“This suggests that the common method of estimating the value of
volunteer labor using a standardized value does not tell the true story of
the benefits derived by organizations from volunteers.”
- University of Florida Study, 2011
Newest estimate is about $29/hour - that is the amount the govt estimates
one volunteer hour is worth, without considering impact or anything else.
18. Funders don’t recognize the impact volunteers are having
Volunteers feel poorly managed
Volunteers don’t recognize the impact they’re having
To Sum Up…
20. Why Donors Stop Giving
2001 study by Adrian Sargeant
5% - Thought charity did not need them
8% - No info on how monies were used
9% - No memory of supporting
13% - Never got thanked for donating
16% - Death
18% - Poor service or communication
36% - Others more deserving
54% - Could no longer afford
INSIGHT: We can make
a meaningful impact
on the above reasons!
22. Why Donors
Keep Giving
2011 study by DonorVoice
1. Donor perceives organization to be effective
2. Donor knows what to expect with each interaction
3. Donor receives a timely thank you
4. Donor receives opportunities to make views known
5. Donor feels like they’re part of an important cause
6. Donor feels his or her involvement is appreciated
7. Donor receives info showing who is being helped
ACTION: What is your thank you turnaround time?

27. Our favorite 7
donor segments 1. First-time donors
2. Monthly donors
3. Lapsed donors
4. Volunteers who have never donated
5. Donors who have shared feedback, positive
or negative
6. Social media followers who interact with
you
7. Long-term donors
While there is an almost
infinite number of ways to
segment or organize your
donors into smaller groups,
consider these 7 segments
as an easyway to get
started.
28. Segment Your
Volunteers
If you can, separate
volunteers with Major Gift
capacity from those with
Monthly Giving capacity and
communicate separately to
them, with different asks.
Give them options!
29. Bear in mind that Volunteers without Major
Gift capacity can still be enormously
valuable in helping your monthly giving
campaigns!
Either way, we need to move them through
better storytelling.
Make sure you are segmenting effectively!
30. How to use empathy and emotions to
connect to your audience and drive
volunteers to make their first gift
31. 4 key
ingredients to a
compelling
story
1. Character: Who is the story about?
2. Conflict: What is your character struggling
with?
3. Goal: What are they working toward and
why?
