At the conclusion of this session, participants will know how to: Create a donor communication plan; including crisis communication, Effectively communicate with donors of all levels, Read, review and share annual report, 990's, organization budgets and investment policies, Cultivate a relationship with a donor that is based on donor needs and interests.
Building Stronger Donor Relations SystemsColin Cumming
In recent years, phrases like “culture of philanthropy” and “donor centricity” have hit the field by storm, often with budget-breaking strategies for implementation and little information about where to start when one may not be a decision-maker. Thus at the Johnson Center for Philanthropy's Brown Bag Lunch & Learn Series, I facilitated a discussion about the importance of donor relations when it comes to long-term fundraising success and ethical fundraising practices. I also talked about the role of fundraising in the context of arts and cultural organizations.
The goal of the event was for participants to walk away with easy to understand ideas for their own organizations and volunteer roles. I discussed: Donor relations and fundraising from a historical perspective; How to integrate engaging donor relations practices into your fundraising program; Fund development challenges specific to membership-based organizations, arts and cultural organizations, and organizations that frequently request general operating funds.

Russian anarchist and anti-war movement in the third year of full-scale warAntti Rautiainen
Anarchist group ANA Regensburg hosted my online-presentation on 16th of May 2024, in which I discussed tactics of anti-war activism in Russia, and reasons why the anti-war movement has not been able to make an impact to change the course of events yet. Cases of anarchists repressed for anti-war activities are presented, as well as strategies of support for political prisoners, and modest successes in supporting their struggles.

Up the Ratios Bylaws - a Comprehensive Process of Our Organizationuptheratios
Up the Ratios is a non-profit organization dedicated to bridging the gap in STEM education for underprivileged students by providing free, high-quality learning opportunities in robotics and other STEM fields. Our mission is to empower the next generation of innovators, thinkers, and problem-solvers by offering a range of educational programs that foster curiosity, creativity, and critical thinking.
At Up the Ratios, we believe that every student, regardless of their socio-economic background, should have access to the tools and knowledge needed to succeed in today's technology-driven world. To achieve this, we host a variety of free classes, workshops, summer camps, and live lectures tailored to students from underserved communities. Our programs are designed to be engaging and hands-on, allowing students to explore the exciting world of robotics and STEM through practical, real-world applications.
Our free classes cover fundamental concepts in robotics, coding, and engineering, providing students with a strong foundation in these critical areas. Through our interactive workshops, students can dive deeper into specific topics, working on projects that challenge them to apply what they've learned and think creatively. Our summer camps offer an immersive experience where students can collaborate on larger projects, develop their teamwork skills, and gain confidence in their abilities.
In addition to our local programs, Up the Ratios is committed to making a global impact. We take donations of new and gently used robotics parts, which we then distribute to students and educational institutions in other countries. These donations help ensure that young learners worldwide have the resources they need to explore and excel in STEM fields. By supporting education in this way, we aim to nurture a global community of future leaders and innovators.
Our live lectures feature guest speakers from various STEM disciplines, including engineers, scientists, and industry professionals who share their knowledge and experiences with our students. These lectures provide valuable insights into potential career paths and inspire students to pursue their passions in STEM.
Up the Ratios relies on the generosity of donors and volunteers to continue our work. Contributions of time, expertise, and financial support are crucial to sustaining our programs and expanding our reach. Whether you're an individual passionate about education, a professional in the STEM field, or a company looking to give back to the community, there are many ways to get involved and make a difference.
We are proud of the positive impact we've had on the lives of countless students, many of whom have gone on to pursue higher education and careers in STEM. By providing these young minds with the tools and opportunities they need to succeed, we are not only changing their futures but also contributing to the advancement of technology and innovation on a broader scale.

Editor's Notes
The power of the internet!
Millions of internet users around the world =>potential donors
Way of connecting with them
We all wish that a sea of strangers would wake up in the morning, searching for somewhere to donate their money, and that they'd somehow stumble upon our work and give. While that does happen sometimes, let's not count on those benevolent strangers to be the primary source of all the funds you need to run your projects. Instead, you need a crowdfunding plan:
A crowdfunding campaign is a distinct fundraising effort with a clear beginning and end. The most successful fundraisers know that donors will respond to specific donation requests related to a clear objective with a deadline. Don't make the rookie mistake of thinking, "I just want to raise lots of money; I don't want to limit how much people will give, or when they should give." After testing what makes crowdfunding work for over a decade, we've found that goals and deadlines work to motivate, rather than limit, potential donors.
The best campaigns have a SMART goal; a fundraising goal that's specific, measurable, attainable, realistic and time-bound. For example, you could set a clear objective to raise $5,000 from 40 people in one month. This goal is clear enough that throughout a campaign you'd be able to measure your progress. A SMART goal will help you and your team agree about what success looks like, and then you'll be able to figure out what time and resources you'll need to achieve that success.
These are the questions that potential donors have in mind (whether they know it or not) when they're deciding to give. The answers to these questions are all part of your story.
Break it down to a story of one: Storytelling is the most powerful way to invite potential supporters to give. Research (and our experience) shows that stories about single individuals are far more powerful than statistics about a problem or even stories about groups of people. (The same goes for photographs of single individuals; try using images that feature that one person, not a group of people.)
Our data shows that the closer you come to your target fundraising goal, the more likely you are to convert a viewer of your donation page into a donor. Donors tend to believe they'll have a greater impact if they contribute to a project that is nearly funded rather than giving to one that still has a long way to go. The bottom line is, the more money you raise, the more likely it is that someone will decide to fund your project!
To set your campaign off on the right foot, we recommend reaching out to your core supporters to ask them to pledge donations before your campaign starts. Start with those who you think are most likely to give: your family, friends, and most committed donors. Get them ready to donate during the first day--or better yet, the first hour--of your campaign. Seeing other supporters will help instill confidence in new donors.
Plan to go big on Day One
So it's the first day of your campaign. Your plan is set, your social media posts are written, and donation page is work of art! So now its just time to sit back and relax and let the donations pour in, right? Wrong! The first and the last days are the most important days of your entire campaign! Plan to pick up that phone and call your supporters, make sure they don't have any problems making their donations, and ask them to talk about their donation to their friends, family, and social network. You'll also want to monitor the buzz around your campaign; respond and spread any reactions you get to your social media outreach. Be prepared to put in the effort for a big day; you won't regret it!
Why is receiving donations fast so important?
Projects on GlobalGiving that receive their first donation during the first 3 days of a campaign are more likely to achieve their goal than those that don't, regardless of the length of the campaign.
In our opinion, email is the most powerful tool in your crowdfunding toolbox. In 2013, GlobalGiving emails generated seven times more donations than our posts on social media. Here are some tips to upgrade your emailing:
Fee Structure
Some platforms charge set-up fees, ongoing subscription fees, and/or fees per transaction. Be wary of platforms that are not upfront about their fees. GlobalGiving charges a 15% fee on all donations, but most donors choose to cover all or part of this fee in addition to their donation. We work hard to earn our 15% by delivering value to our partners.
Reputation, Brand Recognition, & Vetting
A platform with a recognized name and brand can make your donors feel more secure in donating. Some platforms, like GlobalGiving, also do their own vetting of organizations, which gives donors and additional level of assurance when making a donation. The extra level of vetting conducted by GlobalGiving staff means we are trusted by over 60 corporate partners like Microsoft, Nike, and Dell, who donate more financial resources to great projects.
