- How each generation wants to make an impact on society
- Valley Gives: $1M in 2012, $2M in 2013, $2.6M in 2014 Columbia U raised $7M in one day first year. Raised $11M in one day second year, 2014. Inspired $3.7M in offline gifts.
- Gamification
- Not optimized for giving (Oceana) and optimized for giving (Red Cross)
- Look at NBTS and easterseals.org Can we hook up our phone to show on a screen via bluetooth?
- It’s great for annual fund, mitzvah projects, dues, building fund, scholarship, special projects
- Circle: processors, often on the website. Usually appears as a “donate now” button
- Continuum Activity – Line up! Do we have them stand up in line from – no donate button/form on their website have form but no button button and form but lots of clicks to give button and form but little online giving activity button and form and lots of online giving activity ????
- Home-grown systems = processed by a system they et up with merchant account, an authorized gateway, a shopping cart, OR a payment processing platform such as Google checkout, Amazon payments, or Paypal. Includes website donation form. Donation button – processed through a third party such as Paypal, NFG, FG
- Also: EmanuElHouston.org as a bad example No donate button Unoptimized donation page
- The mere rise of crowdfunding sites is a result of influence of people and media. And what they want: Transparency, communication, results. Crowdfunding raised more than $5.1B in 2013 (craigconnects.org/crowdfundinginfographic) 60% increase in funds raised through crowdfunding from 2012-2013 for nonprofits 30% of the $5 billion crowdfunded went to social causes according the “Cracking the Crowd Funding Code“ Next Gen Am Giving Report 2013

- Talk about how giving up control deepens ownership. What is the limit of giving up control for you?
- Lilypad event – engages superfans IRL. Event takes online engagement further to that space of trust and engagement. Establishes the cause’s commitment to the fans, and trust amongst fans.
- SAR video and avi chai match campaign – didn’t just ask for $, were very social and friendly about it (biggest fundraiser on causes’ class got an ice cream party, kids with ipads at dropoff and pickup, tried F2F, but not only online…) Won a $25K award for innovation in fundraiser. Then got a donor who would give if every single alum gave, and they met the goal, excuse to have a convo with alumni.
- URJ Camp George example? http://jcamp180.org/Knowledge-Center/Technology/Technology-Tools-for-Fundraising/Fundraising-with-Social-Media-.aspx
- Split into 3 groups? 1) On website donor experience; 2) Crowdfunding/peer-to-peer; 3) Social Media
