This document summarizes donations that Orange Grove Center has received from generous supporters in the community. It discusses how even small donations can make a big difference for the organization. It also highlights some significant donations received in memory of individuals who supported Orange Grove Center's mission. The executive director expresses gratitude for the creativity and generosity of all donors, which have helped ensure the continuation and growth of services for people with intellectual disabilities.
The document discusses issues with the traditional philanthropic sector like economic downturns and lack of transparency. It then notes that while donations have decreased, local volunteering has increased 31% from 2007-2008. The KUDOS platform is introduced as a way to address these issues by incentivizing individuals to donate time or money to local non-profits through rewards from partner brands, benefiting all parties. KUDOS could boost non-profit funding and participation while engaging a new generation of digital-age philanthropists.
This document discusses creating a video to help people feel more confident and comfortable with themselves by sharing their own insecurities. The author was inspired by a teenage girl who filmed her insecurities in a beautiful way at the suggestion of her therapist. They believe vulnerability can lead to happiness and that beauty is subjective to each society. The author wants to give others an opportunity to share their insecurities too in order to build self-acceptance within their community.
This document describes a perennial crowdfunding system that allows individuals to repeatedly raise funds through creating a "donation community". The system involves an individual sponsoring three people (their "sponsees"), who then each sponsor three more people, creating a network. Donations are given in stages that increase in amount, with the individual keeping a portion and donating the rest up the network. This is proposed as a way for the author's sister to repeatedly raise funds for divorcing her abusive husband and supporting her children.

This presentation was given at the Generative Leadership Academy for the Paris and Paducah Districts of the Memphis Annual Conference of The United Methodist Church and addresses the role that mercy plays in the life of Christians.
The document discusses Jesus' teachings on true greatness and how people viewed him during his lifetime. It says that during his life, Jesus was looked down upon and rejected by many people. However, he showed greatness through serving others, showing compassion to the poor and lonely, and bringing life, joy and meaning to people's lives. The document then examines a passage from the Bible where Jesus teaches that in God's kingdom, greatness is found through service rather than power, status or popularity. It encourages readers to follow Jesus' example of service, sympathy and sharing rather than judging themselves or others.
Greek Life organizations like fraternities and sororities allow students to get involved on campus through events like Rush, build lifelong friendships, and network. They participate in community service projects, fundraisers, and activities like Stepping shows. The Divine 9 are historically African American fraternities and sororities.
This presentation discusses endowments and how individuals can give to them. An endowment is an agreement between a donor and organization, usually nonprofit, where the original gift is invested and the earnings are used to support the organization. People give to endowments for tax advantages, to celebrate or memorialize someone, or as part of their estate plan. Donors can give cash, securities, real estate, retirement plans or insurance during their lifetime or through their estate. The organization's board or committee manages and invests the gifts to generate income used to support the organization's work. Giving to an endowment allows donors to express their support and leave a lasting legacy.

As Christians, we need to know why we believe what we believe, so when we are witnessing to the unbelieving world we can knowledgeably explain Genesis and the creation story, because the rest of the Bible has its foundation in Genesis. If people don’t understand Creation and the Fall of Man in the garden of Eden, they won’t be able to see their need for a Savior. This presentation will give the viewer some foundational information that he can use in the debate of creation vs. evolution.
Darwin didn’t know what we know in science today. He didn’t know science on a cellular level, … biochemistry & electron microscopes weren’t available to him.
For example, in Darwin’s day, people referred to the amazing cell as a “simple” cell, and thought cells were just blobs of jelly-like material. People also still believed in spontaneous generation; that means that they believed that decaying meat generated maggots and that stale bread generated mold…….
In fact, spontaneous generation is the basis for the evolutionary theory that life erupted from a pre-historic chemical soup. So, just as we know today that meat does not produce maggots and bread doesn’t produce mold, we have a better understanding of the truly miraculous single cell. True science has proven that spontaneous generation is impossible. ....

Social Media for Social Change: Challenging the Discourse of Disability and Difference presentation to the annual conference of the College Association for Language and Literacy (CALL) May 25, 2011, Algonquin College, Ottawa, Canada.
This document discusses strategies for integrating traditional and new media for marketing and communications purposes. It notes that effective integration requires teamwork and planning across departments. A traditional isolated approach to media relations, publications, and other functions is compared to a more cohesive approach that reinforces an organization's brand across multiple channels. Generational differences in media preferences are also addressed. The importance of research, content development, and maintaining as well as attracting new relationships is emphasized.
This document contains a table of contents for articles on the topics of gratitude, generosity, celebration, and leaving a legacy. It then includes a longer introductory article titled "Leaving a Prolific Legacy" by Angie Tolpin. The article discusses focusing on impacting others rather than accomplishments for oneself in order to leave behind a legacy that outlives a person. It encourages asking why one is pursuing their goals and finding meaning in service and impact.

2. Millennials expect brands and non-profits to be authentic, emotional, and cause-oriented. They value transparency and trustworthiness.

4. The document recommends non-profits engage

THE SACRIFICE HOW PRO-PALESTINE PROTESTS STUDENTS ARE SACRIFICING TO CHANGE T...indexPub
The recent surge in pro-Palestine student activism has prompted significant responses from universities, ranging from negotiations and divestment commitments to increased transparency about investments in companies supporting the war on Gaza. This activism has led to the cessation of student encampments but also highlighted the substantial sacrifices made by students, including academic disruptions and personal risks. The primary drivers of these protests are poor university administration, lack of transparency, and inadequate communication between officials and students. This study examines the profound emotional, psychological, and professional impacts on students engaged in pro-Palestine protests, focusing on Generation Z's (Gen-Z) activism dynamics. This paper explores the significant sacrifices made by these students and even the professors supporting the pro-Palestine movement, with a focus on recent global movements. Through an in-depth analysis of printed and electronic media, the study examines the impacts of these sacrifices on the academic and personal lives of those involved. The paper highlights examples from various universities, demonstrating student activism's long-term and short-term effects, including disciplinary actions, social backlash, and career implications. The researchers also explore the broader implications of student sacrifices. The findings reveal that these sacrifices are driven by a profound commitment to justice and human rights, and are influenced by the increasing availability of information, peer interactions, and personal convictions. The study also discusses the broader implications of this activism, comparing it to historical precedents and assessing its potential to influence policy and public opinion. The emotional and psychological toll on student activists is significant, but their sense of purpose and community support mitigates some of these challenges. However, the researchers call for acknowledging the broader Impact of these sacrifices on the future global movement of FreePalestine.

3. The early days
We thought
the content we
created was
the answer
4. People asking on behalf of an organisation works....
“Any short term
discomfort I may suffer
running and training for
the 26.2 miles is
nothing to the private
frustrations and agonies
of an autistic child trying
to comprehend a world
that is utterly alien to
them, or the dedication
and sheer graft of the
parents and carers of
those affected with this
condition...”
5. And if you’re asking on behalf of an
organisation tell a story about a person
“Once we have a face, a
picture, and details about a
person, we feel for them, and our
actions – and money – follow.”
- Dan Ariely, Predictably Irrational
Proximity
Vividness
Drop in the
bucket
7. Social obligation is a great motivator
• I value our relationship and I hope you do too • He values me as a friend
•I want you to know that I‟m a good person •I like him because he‟s asked me
•I want you to like me • I bet he‟s asking my friends.
• This is embarrassing • If I don‟t it‟ll be embarrassing
• What if you say no? • The longer I leave it the worse it‟ll be
8. The Franklin effect
“He that has once done you
a kindness will be more
ready to do you
another, than he whom you
yourself have obliged.”
- Benjamin Franklin
“To encourage others to like
you, ask for their help.”
- Professor Richard
Wiseman
10. What we say is not the same as what we do
Only 2.7% of people identified However after a large
“How much other people have donation, the following
given to the fundraiser” as a very donations increase
100
important factor in deciding how
much to give
and this increase leads to a
mean of amount
knock on „signalling‟ effect
of even higher donations

Editor's Notes
Going to talk about StorytellingPsychology And a bit of social media and mobile
FASTI started in 2001 – been there since the beginning. Examples: Charlie Simpson raised over £200,000fish slapping, LeJog, Race for LifeWe’ve done this – it’s very rewarding. And we are the original and best online fundraising platform – the largest community of givers in the world£1 billion is amount raised in the UKWe’re a small company – 70 of us here in the UK, and less than 20 in the US, so even though you may have heard of our brand we’ve not got a big budget for marketing and comms – though content has been hugely important to use – and hopefully I’ll be able to give you a sense of how content has shaped our business – and indeed grown charity giving throughout the last 10 years...
FASTJustGiving was launched we didn’t quite know what it should beWe’d developed a great bit of technology to automatically reclaim Gift Aid from the Government to give to charitiesThe challenge was how to utilize thatWe knew we always wanted to be a B 2 C company
- we experimented until we found what really worked: which is letting people tell stories about why causes are important to themWe did a bit of experimenting. One of our experiments was the first fundraising page. Here’s Peter Flynn, and how he told his friends and family why they should sponsor him. He raised over £10,000 – he’s done a much better job of articulating why he supports the NAS than we could ever do: and it’s tailored exactly for his friends and family The next year, on the back of this one page, we were able to get a partnership with the London Marathon.
Charities understand this principle toousing it more and moreThis has been proved by sociologists as “the identifiable victim effect” “When we can’t see the small details, suffering is less vivid, less emotional, and we fell less compelled to act” – more Ariely (Predicably irrational, the upside of irrationality, behavioural economist at Duke in NC) Ariely uses this example: job interview, new suit costing £800 – on the way to the interview cross a river, girl cries for help, seems to be drowning. What would you do? Dive in of course and save her. This is due to 3 psychological factors – proximity, vividness, and the drop-in-the-bucket effect proximity – closeness, not just physical nearness – also covers a feeling of kinship – close to people with whom you share similarities. This effect is powerful – give to needy neighbour who has lost job, rather than homeless person on other side of townVividness – descriptiveness – imagining the same thing happening to you. Alistair example good at explaining what will happen to himDrop in the bucket (which is to say that people don’t want their money to be a drop in the bucket – they want it to have real value) – people want to be able to single handedly and completely help the victims of a tragedy – when it’s an uphill battle (that, say, wateraid have to fight) we think how can we help? It’s the small details about Alistair’s struggle here which makes his plight vivid…
FASTExample page – liz smith Charity: global vision international charity trustWorking to fund education for indigenous people in the AmazonChallenge is trekking and kayaking from GVI base came to an indigenous community over 5 days Describes the challenge and why she’s doing it
For most people it’s about responding to a friend’s ask – not this mass movement (which happens occasionally) And, I think, it’s one of the prime motivators for someone to make a donation to a charity that they don’t necessarily care about – they just want to do a favour for a friend/colleague/family member, which consolidates that friendship tie. What’s going on when someone asks a friend to sponsor thenIt’s more about what’s not being saidNice feeling being valued enough to be askedThe public nature of seeing comments on a page makes it easy to see who has not donated, and to see who’s donated what. In fact, public donation amounts have an interesting effect. There is a fear the friendship will be eroded if the sponsor does not react
Ben Franklin wanted to gain the cooperation of a difficult member of the Pennsylvania state legislature. Rather than spending his time sucking up to this guy, he decided on a different course of actionFranklin knew that the legislator had a copy of a rare book, and Franklin asked to borrow it. The man agreed and their relations went from frosty to civil. We like people more when they’ve asked us for a small favour. We instinctively like to help. And this phenomenon was proved again in the 1960s with a psychology experiment – experimenters made it so that participants won some money – at the end of this the main researcher came up and said that he had used his own money for the experiment and was running short on cash – would he mind returning the money. They also used a control group whereby the same thing happened but it was the department secretary asking for the money back on behalf of the department. Sure enough the people who were asked for the money by the researcher (‘his own funds’) liked the researcher more than the ones who were asked for the money on behalf of the department.
So all this interesting usercreated content can have a life that extends beyond the initial storytelling and response comment – social media helps people ask for donations, and also amplifies donations – allowing people to extend their ‘warm glow’ about donating/making a page Now we’ve noticed that social networks are very popular mediums for people to make that initial donation ask but social networks have this added edge – when people transact through a social network, we give them the ability to publicise what they’ve done via those networks. And this brings in more donations... 5% of donations that start with FB come this way, 9% of donations on twitter, 5% of donations thru linked in: over £1 million raised so far Nigel Doughty is from nottingham forest football clubAlso talk about pledge + publicity campaign
Research led by Sarah Smith at the university of BristolAnalysed fundraising pages for the 2010 London marathon for Us and another website Large donations = twice the page mean (so if average donation is £20, £40 is large donation)Small donations = half the page mean (so if average donation is £20, £10 is small donation) Example here: someone makes a donation of £100, and it bumps up the donations afterwards on average by £10. And now that that the donations after are £10 higher, this has the knock-on effect of adding £3.50 to average donations down the line This effect is bigger for male donors than female donors The inverse effect also happens – small donations lead to more small donationsAnd the larger the big donation, the stronger effect it will have Does not influence the number of donations: a large donation does not act as a deterrant
Everything I’ve described came into play on a grand and movingscale last week: lots of newspaper columnists etc. have been trying to explain why this phenomenon happened. As a response, I think some of the things I’ve described today come into play: How people responding to sadness around Claire’s death Proximity – easy to imagine claire: nice attractive girl, profession that we all understand, living in the heartlandVividness – too easy to imagine her collapsing at the last mile of the marathon with all the runners etcNetwork effect: once people had started supporting this page, they shared about it and also told Claire’s story: and then others crowded in: donating to the page makes you feel like a good person who has helped make something meaningful come out of a tragedy: and you wanted to show that you’ve done this this to your community as well Signalling: even though this is a page where it’s someone you don’t’ know, and that you don’t know the others donating to the page, the median donation has been a consistent £10, with £11 as the average across all 75,000+ donations. So the donation amounts were ‘set’ by the early donors – and people have been trying to tacitly match this all along, despite the donors not knowing each other, or Claire, or even being in the same country I’m sure you’ll agree that this phenomenon was a moving tribute to the tragic death of a young person and wouldn’t have happened offline: it’s a illustration of how online giving compounds and enhances our existing psychological drives to give: on a larger and more public scale
