Community-Driven Fundraising by Noah Barnett #18NTCCauseVox
Learn more about community-driven fundraising at https://www.causevox.com
The world you fundraise in has fundamentally shifted—your supporters are hyper-connected, live inside personal feeds, and are continually ambushed with messages vying for their attention. These shifts have made it challenging to cultivate donor relationships and reach new donors.
However, many organizations are thriving within our new reality by rethinking how they approach fundraising and adopting a new playbook: community-driven fundraising.
In this session, we’ll show you exactly how you can too by highlighting how leaders at arts, animal, and advocacy to cancer, crisis relief, and community-service nonprofits are successfully leveraging peer-to-peer initiatives to strengthen donor relationships and reach new donors.
Learning Objectives:
*Why peer-to-peer is not a tactic but rather an approach you can incorporate into fundraising efforts all year
*Different types of peer-to-peer initiatives and how to effectively plan and coordinate into your fundraising plan
*How to activate and rally your supporters to advocate for your cause, helping you reach new donors
Every year Pay It Forward Day is held in April. I created this presentation for "Pay It Forward Day 2013". This presentation is based on a speech that I gave at Toastmasters on Pay It Forward. Imagine how much better the world would be if every day we paid it forward!

Do Donations, Charities, CSR programs really have any impact long term?
We should rethink the way we give and empower others if we are serious about solving the most pressing problems we face.

The Filipino youth - they are the movers and shakers of the contemporary culture. They are restless; always on the lookout for something new, challenging and exciting. But they also seek their purpose; they go through hurdles and they aspire for their dreams. Sometimes they fall, but they get up and they triumph. We join them in that journey. Support the equally powerful force of Voice the Youth Network – the multi-awarded and internationally recognized premiere youth advocacy group of the country; Creativoices Productions, the voice of creativity and DZIQ 990 AM – as we continue to celebrate the Filipino Youth! Their views and vision… Their adventure… Their Life! In our 10th season, Voice of the Youth Radio brings more quality programming as we further inform, inspire, involve and empower. But now we’re going beyond radio… aside from the live streaming Webcast of DZIQ 990 AM heard over the Internet, VOTY Radio episodes could also be heard through Podcast and its transcripts could be read over the VOTY blog. We’re going beyond issues… as we dig deeper into the points of views of the youth on matters of their interest and concerns. We’re going beyond opportunities… as we guide them through the world of entrepreneurship, volunteerism, public service, local and international youth affairs. We’re beyond hip… as we present the latest and coolest trends in technology, music and pop culture. We are the Power… we are the... Voice of the Youth!
Voluntourism – Are The Extra Hands Helping? by Amy McLoughlin of Pepy ToursWild Asia
Voluntourism is a growing travel sector and with it comes the pros and cons of volunteering abroad. For the volunteer, it can be a travel and learning experience, a new way of seeing the world while giving back, but for the local communities it may be disruptive, intrusive to local cultures and traditions or its benefits short lived. How effective and sustainable are voluntourism programs?
We are delighted to share our Annual Report 2012/13 with our network.
Foreword by SmilingOne Founder:
As a 16-year-old member of the Thug Life gang puts it, “gang life is like a religion to my family. My father and grandfather were in gangs and they have done time in jail – I will probably end up there as well. It is the way of life here; it is where you learn about respect and get status.”
Our year has been one of fine tuning our approach, merging deeper into the resource we are and walking each step true to our hearts. We are all shareholders in the wellbeing of our society – the SmilingOne Team takes this responsibility very seriously and we know how important our puzzle piece is!
What touches me deeply is that 9 million children (48%) are growing up with absent but living fathers! 3.3 million young people are not in education, training or employment. And as of March 2012: 32% of all inmates in SA prisons were under the age of 25. I experience youth in dire need of inspiration and direction!
We have harvested incredible results from our five years pro-active research! It has proven to us that a very effective way to prevent/divert our youth and youngsters from pursuing the path of crime is to shape positive Role Models who meet the youth at risk where they are at and inspire/guide them towards a different path. This is what the SmilingOne Team is deeply passionate about and invest in. We find and educate these potential Change Agents in some of the most challenged SA environments...
