Learn how to provide options to small-dollar donors that meet their needs and your missions without expecting one to sacrifice to the other. Learn how to give donors what they want: personal engagement with the story of your work and impact with first-person brief narratives by those helped and served by your programs and services,.

Event Details:

The Care and Feeding of the Small-Dollar Donor (July 9, 2013)

We take great care to nurture and support relationships with institutional and major donors, but what do we do to help our small-dollar donors feel connected, like their gift makes an impact? Today's small-dollar donor sees more, knows more, expects more, and has more insight than ever into the leverage his or her contribution can (and can't make). It's time for us to shift gears and provide offerings to our small-dollar donors that meet their needs and our missions without expecting one to sacrifice to the other.

In this session, participants will learn:

About the research that informs us about the reactions and actions of the general donor.
Some cutting-edge approaches to engaging the small-dollar donor in giving and loyalty.
How social media sharing and expression play a part in the care and feeding of the small-dollar donor.
Some concrete tools to begin to shift giving options to better match the giving proclivities of the small-dollar donor.

When Your Clients Tell the Story of Your Impact (July 16, 2013)

In today's world of the brief, compelling narrative, in the time of social media and sharing, we have the opportunity not only to shift our messaging into tweet-sized sound-bytes, but also to change our voice over to that of our program participant. When we shift our appeals to first-person brief narratives on the part of those helped and served by our programs and services, we start giving donors what we've learned they want - personal engagement with the story of our work and our impact.

For years we've relied on the case study, the example client, the photo and quote or even the photo of someone holding a cardboard placard to connect our work with the hearts of those we hope will give. Today, we have better tools and can start to use video, first-person narrative, and stories that people can browse, deciding for themselves how they'd like to help. In short, we can be quiet and let our clients represent themselves and the organizations that help them thrive. It's a changed paradigm and we need to keep up.

In this session, participants will:

Learn about various current approaches to using client storytelling in development and marketing
Explore the ethical and tactical challenges to putting the client in front of the camera and keyboard
Examine the Benevolent.net approach to storytelling narrative in the social service and workforce development sector and the successes and challenges in the initial year
Consider breaking the rules of donor engagement and bringing storytelling to the fore in one or more ways in service to the mission of their organizations
