This document provides guidance for fundraising for a Twestival Local charity event. It recommends determining a fundraising goal, targeting sponsors based on event demographics and the charity, and asking for sponsorships of various event elements like the website, goods/services, auction items, and goody bags. Sponsors can help with branding and exposure in exchange for money or donations. Relationships are important, and it's okay if some people say no to donations.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

12. raffles – staying legal tickets sold in advance need a Society Lotteries licence from your local council or metropolitan borough (lots of form filling & you will need to have your raffle tickets printed) you will not need a licence for a one-off event provided that: tickets are only be sold during the event there are no cash prizes to come from the ticket money no more than £250 is spent on the prizes (donated prizes do not count tickets must not be more than £1 each the result of the raffle must be drawn at the event. tip agree in advance what will happen if committee members win raffle prizes tips 12 Prepared by Claire Thompson, Waves PR, for Twestival fundraisers, August 2009 with thanks to teams for sharing their learning (claire@wavespr.com; t: +44(0) 118 944 0394)
13. auction items could local sports venues offer 1-2-1 training eg tennis as a prize; football clubs may donate gear – or even send along a player anything original – artwork, jewellery, signed books pics, CDs, trip backstage at a theatre or concert, tour of local radio or TV station would your local MP agree to be a slave for the day? Or go into ‘stocks’ pubs, clubs, local limo companies think local – magazine subs, organic food or drink deliveries local celebrity donations eg Kate Winslett’s mum’s pickles; Jordan’s bridal veil; Uri Geller’s bent spoon (they may even turn up to auction for you!) tips have some fun and be creative could you have a brainstorm meet, and tweet your best ideas – people may help you with new ones? don’t forget to ask the charity – they may have events to publicise by donating tickets, or local supporters try running on and/or off line 13 Prepared by Claire Thompson, Waves PR, for Twestival fundraisers, August 2009 with thanks to teams for sharing their learning (claire@wavespr.com; t: +44(0) 118 944 0394)
14. at the event/1 can a local DJ or radio presenter MC for you for the night? could a local auction house provide an auctioneer? giveaway T-shirts – sponsorships to pay and print (don’t forget a range of sizes plus lady fits) ‘guess the number’ - get people to guess how many lollies, marbles or similar in a jar to win (don’t overdo – it may end up like a school fete!) you can even ask for donations on the night – you could make it fun – if we raise £50 extra the organising committee will do a rendition of ...; x will shave have their head shaved/hairy chest waxed; the band will play x (works well if you ask a heavy rock band to play a Cliff Richard song, or vice versa) make sure that you have plans for when in the evening these things will happen 14 Prepared by Claire Thompson, Waves PR, for Twestival fundraisers, August 2009 with thanks to teams for sharing their learning (claire@wavespr.com; t: +44(0) 118 944 0394)
15. at the event/2 consider a programme for the event– can include details of the organisers, details of the charity, what’s happening, ‘thank you’s, and, of course, a plug for the money making activities at the event, and sell advertising space! Samples are up on the Twestival 09 Google Group ask talents to attend eg table magician, juggler can the charity be involved/bring things along? could they/someone who uses their services give a short talk? what does the charity need – start a volunteers roster at the event? music from Mali, a box of kittens or rescued animal, a video message, disabled artists come along and do charicatures, children singing… 15 Prepared by Claire Thompson, Waves PR, for Twestival fundraisers, August 2009 with thanks to teams for sharing their learning (claire@wavespr.com; t: +44(0) 118 944 0394)
16. goody bags we’re trying to find someone to pay for/supply the goody bags across the UK (yell with any ideas!) help encourage attendance and offer value to event ask people to give things to go inside: promotional items vouchers Samples (food, drink, toys) if people want to place leaflets, you could charge them to do this (but if it’s vouchers, think carefully) tip 16 Prepared by Claire Thompson, Waves PR, for Twestival fundraisers, August 2009 with thanks to teams for sharing their learning (claire@wavespr.com; t: +44(0) 118 944 0394)
17. money you can ask for money in exchange for brand association, publicity, exposure to audience – sometimes even just for a link to/from the Twestival site decide what you can sell – it may be things already mentioned, it could be event or charity specific once you have spoken to someone they may ask you for more details to get approval internally – there are letter/email templates on the Twestival 09 site agree your price and create a sponsorship pack But think laterally too: Inverness recently had a great success when a cruise company they had approached agreed to donate a portion of their ticket sales to Twestival there are sample sponsorship packs uploaded to the Twestival 09 site already. Last time’s Oxford organisers (thanks to Sylwia Presley for this one) gained extra publicity by creating a presentation, and uploading to Slideshare) tip 17 Prepared by Claire Thompson, Waves PR, for Twestival fundraisers, August 2009 with thanks to teams for sharing their learning (claire@wavespr.com; t: +44(0) 118 944 0394)
18. sponsorships - considerations however you divide up your sponsorships, try and be transparent don’t give away exclusives lightly – the US team suggested an overall event sponsorship of $10k for sponsoring an entire event and, after a while, look like they have it think hard about the money you’re taking. Try not to accept from overtly political or religious groups if you think that ANY questions will be raised about accepting the money, run it past Nicola and Claire 18 Prepared by Claire Thompson, Waves PR, for Twestival fundraisers, August 2009 with thanks to teams for sharing their learning (claire@wavespr.com; t: +44(0) 118 944 0394)

20. some ideas friends, tweeps, work colleagues… they often know someone who…. or may have hidden talents to donate (hand made cards, paintings, music) target companies who may want your target audience (tweeters) or who want the association with the charity for business reasons eg cat food companies or vetinary insurance for the cat charity, garden centres and organic food for environmental charities, bedroom furniture for homeless charities, children’s toy companies for children’s charities – remember that goods can be as good as cash for the charity! in companies: start with someone you know if possible – they can ask on your behalf chat to the receptionist to get pointers departments that may help: marketing, CSR, PR, ‘comms department’, sponsorship department (unlikely, but some still do!) 20 Prepared by Claire Thompson, Waves PR, for Twestival fundraisers, August 2009 with thanks to teams for sharing their learning (claire@wavespr.com; t: +44(0) 118 944 0394)
21. your fundraising list 0. determine your goal companies to target for sponsorship based on demographics donations of goods or money needed to make event happen raffle and auction donations event activities goody bags cash! 21 Prepared by Claire Thompson, Waves PR, for Twestival fundraisers, August 2009 with thanks to teams for sharing their learning (claire@wavespr.com; t: +44(0) 118 944 0394)

23. tickets consider setting your ticket prices at different levels – contributors and charity (free, but shows as sales and no-one has to be first) early bird (a little cheaper), standard and ‘unable to attend, donate £x) ask the charity to sell too (perhaps through site links) and the sponsor companies (ditto!) for those who haven’t started selling tickets yet – you will need a bank account to pay into. The charity’s account is best – you will need the details to set things up through Amiando tip 23 Prepared by Claire Thompson, Waves PR, for Twestival fundraisers, August 2009 with thanks to teams for sharing their learning (claire@wavespr.com; t: +44(0) 118 944 0394)
24. targets is there a specific financial target that the charity would like to meet? If this is publicised, people know what they’re paying for (10 beds stay open, 500 vaccines, 10 animals fed for a year, four children’s dreams come true) can you have a competition amongst volunteers to sell the most tickets? don’t forget to offer regular updates tip a great tool for setting targets : Giftrangecalculator.com 24 Prepared by Claire Thompson, Waves PR, for Twestival fundraisers, August 2009 with thanks to teams for sharing their learning (claire@wavespr.com; t: +44(0) 118 944 0394)

I’m happy to stand by them but do check on the legal bits: I’m not a lawyer! my own fundraising experience is limited to working alongside charities, the school PTA and helping a children’s football club, so feel free to add share to your heart’s content – the information here was learned from others and was created to help the numerous charities benefitting from Twestival: if it’s useful to others, that’s an added bonus Prepared by Claire Thompson, Waves PR, for Twestival fundraisers, August 2009 with thanks to teams for sharing their learning (claire@wavespr.com; t: +44(0) 118 944 0394) 31
