Network Mapping

Who is giving to your organization? Note their patterns and why they give. Your best advocates and supporters are the

ones that already exist.

Who Supports You Now?

Family Friends Colleagues

Neighbours Community Leaders Previous

Donors

Do you have people you don’t know giving to your organization? Are there first-time donors? These individuals represent opportunities to grow your network, but first you

need to engage them!

Who Could Support You?

Your network is bigger than you

think! • Board members• Diaspora• Local Business owners• Leaders in the industry• Religious Institutions• Community

Foundations• Alumni• Volunteers

They build trust in your organization from their networks, bring in new supporters, and act as your

brand ambassadors. Fundraising Advocates are part of your fundraising team and help you to expand your

network and reach your goals!

Fundraising Advocates are individuals who become part of your fundraising

team

Expand your network of donors by identifying these individuals that can serve as strong brand ambassadors for your organization and have large networks of

their own.

1They have a

large network of friends, family, etc.

2They are

passionate and positive about your cause and

interested in your work.

3They know your story

and can act as brand

ambassadors.

4You are

comfortable asking

them to help.

5They have the time

and willingness

to work.

1. Map your current + potential network of supporters2. Engage a few key supporters to become Fundraising

Advocates3. Give them the tools to succeed4. Show appreciation!

Steps to developing Fundraising Advocates

Who supports you? Who do those

supporters know? Who else do you know? What groups could support your work?

Step One: Map your Network

1. Cater your ask based on the individual2. Have a specific ask for the individual to get them engaged3. Let them know about how they will be supported4. Show impact!

Step Two: Engage + Ask

Step Three: Give Them Tools

• Email templates• One-on-one check-

ins• Talking points• Individual goals• Sample social media

posts and outreach• Talking points +

calls to action!

GlobalGiving also has tools to help give your

fundraising advocates more access.

How GlobalGiving Fundraiser Pages

photo• Easily sharing tools• Visibility into their

network supporters

Give them a new user role with

your organization!

• Can track their own donors’ gifts

you notes• Help increase

rewards

A C T I V I T Y

Develop a calendar for your outreach to the advocates you just identified. How you will keep them engaged throughout the

campaign? You may ask yourself: 1. What tools + templates do you have currently?

2. What are some unique ways you can show appreciation?3. What are the goals you want to set in terms of advocates

that feed into your SMART goals?

The Nonprofit Storyteller’sTriple Bottom Line

How do our storiesempower the people

we intend to help?

Will you let them speak for themselves?

How do our storiescreate a healthier

social sector?

Do they make people feel hopeful and

powerful?

Do our storiesmove people to give?

Do they help us build long-term relationships

with supporters?

Our images, words, and

stories have a lasting effect on the people we intend to help.

Stories are

powerful.

Your emails, your social media, how you talk to a stranger, how to convey your work to a funder or board member. Your story shows and shares your organization’s

impact.

Stories can be used everywhere

A C T I V I T Y

1. Break into groups of two.2. Have one partner tell a story about a constituent

impacted by your organisation. (2 min)

3. Share feedback on what you found most compelling about the story, and what could have strengthened the story. (2 min)

4. Switch roles.

Writing Earth-Changing Emails

What has GlobalGiving learned about sending

effective emails?

LENGTH MATTERS

PICTURE > WORDS

We are constantly learning too!

PERSONALIZE + SEGMENT

Audience = Donors!

Make your donors feel a part of the team, and a

part of the work by including their name or a

personal note

Personalize!

Ever donor is different, so treat them

differently! You can do this on geography, giving history, or

connection to your work.

Building a Community on Facebook

Facebook is an excellent tool for

engaging with your audience.

Set a StrategyContent Creation Implementation

• Quality over quantity.

• A picture tells a thousand words.

• Don’t use Facebook strictly to ask for donations.

• What time is best for you to post?

• What is your call-to-action?

• How often should you post?

WHAT TO POST

1. Photos (engaging, thoughtful, curious)2. Videos (short + sweet)3. Third Party news about your cause4. Relevant events + milestones5. Facts, infographics, + quotes

Facebook Content: 5 Key Types

HOW TO POST

Implementation of Content

The timing The purpose The pace

• Post during off-peak hours.

• Draft and schedule in advance.

• Get “applause” from your audience.

• Keep your cause and organization in their mind.

• Engage.

• Once per day.• Variety of content.• More during

campaign times – but DO NOT spam your audience.

Remember that Facebook —like most social outlets— is about relationship building. Don’t forget to engage with your

audience!

organization?• How does your organization measure effectiveness?

GG Rewards

THE BIG IDEA

GG Rewards is a system that rewards and recognizes our nonprofits partners for activities around engagement with the platform and efforts to increase their

effectiveness.

Partner Leader Superstar

Superstar organizations get a boost in search rankings, are the most likely to be recommended, and have access to more tools +

benefits.

SO HOW DOES THAT WORK?

GG nonprofit partners earn points every

time they complete a GG Rewards activity. The more points, the higher your rewards

status!

Based on the GG value, Listen, Act, Learn, and Repeat, nonprofit partners begin by completing an

activity (i.e., watching a webinar) and then reflect on their learnings in a

“LALR” cycle for points.

Effectiveness points are for learning

Engagement points are for being active in our

community.Points are earned by

actively engaging with the GG platform. For example: reaching your

fundraising goals or thanking donors.

HOW DO I GET MORE POINTS?

Engagement points: Engage with the GlobalGiving community

try and improve!

Act

keep doing this new thing!

Increasing your GG Rewards status is the best way to gain visibility + earn more GG-

Driven Funds.
