1. IDENTIFY. COMMUNICATE. GROW

 Say thank you

 Every channel engaged
BARRY, CARAVAN TO CLASS….

“ Part of our strategy with the Global Giving
 campaign is 1) to be able to list our projects on a
 major charitable giving site, 2) to broaden our
 outreach beyond friends and family donors.

We are happy to say that so far, the strategy is
2. PEOPLE CARE ABOUT OTHER
  PEOPLE. TELL YOUR STORY.




      Be authentic
KEY PRINCIPLES

1. Personalize.
2. Amplify.
3. Socialize.
4. Chop it down.
5. Let it flow.
6. Allow for emotion.
7. Add depth. 

A STORY FROM ETM-LA
For 10-year old, Megan, she cherishes the music classes she receives every week as a 5th
grader. We asked her to share why she loves learning music, and this is what she had to
say:

Music helps me express my feelings, and I look forward to music class every week! I
love learning the violin, and find that music helps me in other areas, like math. For
instance, we’re learning musical intervals, and I have to add notes together. Having to
read music and see what key we’re in helps with reading. I don’t often get a lot of
chances to play in front of people, so I feel proud getting to perform. I’d love to be a
professional singer some day. My favorite singers are Kesha and Katy Perry, and I love
trying to figure out the notes on my violin. Megan’s mother, Sophia shared: Megan is
more positive, and it has brought her out of her shell. She used to be extremely shy, and
now she’s more comfortable speaking in front of people and has helped with social skills.
Music is a place for her that she can always turn to.

Our students are not only achieving in music, but also showing stronger development in
“all areas” and in their “focus and concentration” (ETM-LA partner classroom
teacher). Come join us at our end-of-the year concerts if you’re in Los Angeles! We are
grateful for your ongoing support and partnership to give at-risk youth quality in-school
music education!
3. SET GOALS.

Raising a reader
 Set overall goal and broke it down into
weekly goals.

  • 9. A STORY FROM ETM-LA For 10-year old, Megan, she cherishes the music classes she receives every week as a 5th grader. We asked her to share why she loves learning music, and this is what she had to say:

Music helps me express my feelings, and I look forward to music class every week! I love learning the violin, and find that music helps me in other areas, like math. For instance, we’re learning musical intervals, and I have to add notes together. Having to read music and see what key we’re in helps with reading. I don’t often get a lot of chances to play in front of people, so I feel proud getting to perform. I’d love to be a professional singer some day. My favorite singers are Kesha and Katy Perry, and I love trying to figure out the notes on my violin. Megan’s mother, Sophia shared: Megan is more positive, and it has brought her out of her shell. She used to be extremely shy, and now she’s more comfortable speaking in front of people and has helped with social skills. Music is a place for her that she can always turn to. Our students are not only achieving in music, but also showing stronger development in “all areas” and in their “focus and concentration” (ETM-LA partner classroom teacher). Come join us at our end-of-the year concerts if you’re in Los Angeles! We are grateful for your ongoing support and partnership to give at-risk youth quality in-school music education!

Hinweis der Redaktion

  1. IMIFAP was the first place winner in GlobalGiving’s November 2009 Challenge, raising $21,443 from 136 donors! The organization’s 35 staff members were the key drivers of donations to IMIFAP’s project during the Open Challenge. Before the challenge began, the organization taught staff members how to reach out to their personal networks. Shoshana, the project leader, described the main activity in this process as “network mapping” with each staff member. This process helped bring in a number of smaller donors.With IMIFAP staff leading the charge into bringing in smaller donors during the Open Challenge, the President and Vice President of the IMIFAP also contributed by reaching out to their networks and bringing in higher-level donors. The organization used every channel that was available to them—staff, board members, newsletter subscribers— while competing for the bounties in the challenge.
  2. 7 techniques for effective brand communications in an age of information hysteria:
1 Personalize. 
Use a personal voice—think of your audience as “friends, fans and followers”
2 Amplify. 
Use open-source technology to amplify your voice across several platforms at once…and to crowd-source money, data, opinion
3 Socialize. 
Understand the significance of Dunbar’s number (150) as you mobilize small communities that share your values and are committed to your cause
4 Chop it down. 
Create relevant, bite-sized messages that support big concepts
5 Let it flow. 
Use the notion of the status update (in whatever form) to foster ambient intimacy and a continuous flow of real-time information
6 Allow for emotion. 
Use traditional, “start/end” narratives to punctuate your delivery with emotion and meaning
7 Add depth. 
And use “here/there” structures—open vaults of information—to add depth and substance to your story
And if all else fails: simplify. Because we don’t need more complexity.
  3. Lucy, the project leader, worked closely with Christina, an American friend and volunteer to set realistic goals. They worked together to reach out to friends, family, and co-workers and got people personally invested in and excited about the success of the project! They emphasized how important it was to them personally that the organization succeed and made personal phone calls and appeals for donations. Being sure to send frequent reminders, Lucy and Christina used the sense of urgency, by stressing the deadline, to compel donors to give now. Finally, Christina also hosted several off-line events during the Challenge, including a garage sale, to raise extra funds for the project.
