    Fundraising Success Online and Offline Using Social Media (Philadelphia Area Regional Workshop)

    Fundraising Success Online and Offline Using Social Media



    Presented by
    Casey Golden, Small Act

    Creating a community online and successful fundraising program is more than just attracting a large number of fans on social media - it's about having the right strategy that will influence people of all ages and keeping them engaged. How do you keep them excited and get them to take action?

    What about those donors or potential donors who are online, but just don’t engage with you directly? How can you learn about their lives and passions to increase fundraising success in ‘offline’ channels? Never before have organizations been able to have insight into the lives of their constituents. Learn how to use this new wealth of information and data for better engagement and fundraising throughout the entire organization.

    In this session, you will learn:
  • How to attract and engage the online Catholic community of all ages.
  • How to find existing donors and constituents in social media & engage with them. ...

    Tips for Successfully Participating in an NCDC Webinar


    • You will need to have Microsoft Live Meeting installed on your computer. Please test your system prior to the meeting. If you are unable to do so or do not wish to install the software, you may still attend by using the Web Console option which does not install any software to your system or require administrator permission. Just scroll down on the installation page for this option.


    • Make sure everybody can see the screen.


    • We recommend using speakerphone, even if you are the only person from your office participating. Test out your speakerphone to make sure you can hear callers.


    For larger groups

    • Use a projector and screen so everyone can view the presentation.


    • Make sure everyone will be able to hear the speakerphone. Don’t forget to account for background noise- the more people in the room, the harder it will be to hear the presenter through a phone speaker. ...
