Nonprofit Annual Reports That Engage! [Video]

Diana Otero from Bloomerang, sheds light on the evolving landscape of nonprofit annual reports, emphasizing the importance of donor-centric storytelling, personalization, and strategic use of these reports to engage and retain donors effectively. Boomerang’s commitment to elevating the sector and providing innovative solutions further supports nonprofits in achieving their goals. Diana emphasizes the importance of understanding what donors want to hear. She highlights that donors want to know how their contributions have made a difference and that their support is essential for the organization’s success. This message should be at the core of any annual report. The conversation also digs into the idea of using annual reports strategically. Diana suggests that nonprofits should view annual reports as more than just a summary of activities; they should be used to tell compelling stories about the organization’s impact, engaging donors on a deeper level. Personalization at scale is another trend discussed. Diana predicts that nonprofits will expand their tools that can tailor their communications to individual donors based on their interests and preferences. This personalization can lead to more meaningful donor relationships.You can also listen to the show on your favorite podcast channel.

Nonprofit’s Ethical Storytelling Using Consent [Video]

Diana Farias Heinrich, CEO of Habra Marketing, sheds light on the significance of ethical storytelling in nonprofit marketing. She stresses the importance of informed consent and a client-centric approach to safeguard clients’ privacy, dignity, and overall well-being during the storytelling process. Diana shares a personal experience where she unknowingly put a client at risk by sharing their story without fully considering the potential consequences. This experience drove her to establish a four-step process for informed consent conversations: Prep: Understand the intended end product and vet clients before approaching them for interviews. Conducting the Interview: Build trust with clients, make them feel comfortable, and ensure they know they can say no at any point. Stakeholder Test: Examine how the client and their community might react to the story when shared publicly. Pass Back the Mic: After crafting the story, give clients the opportunity to review, make revisions, or reject it if they feel uncomfortable. Diana also addresses the challenge of reusing old stories from the “vault” and suggests that organizations should establish an intentional storytelling rhythm while involving clients in the decision-making process. This Best Practices discussion wraps up with a few words about revolutionizing storytelling by incorporating principles of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI). Diana advocates for changing the language used to describe people and being mindful of how words can impact individuals and communities. Throughout the lively conversation, Diana underscores the necessity of a considerate, client-centered approach to storytelling in the nonprofit sector. She emphasizes the importance of informed consent and ethical practices to safeguard both clients and the reputation of organizations. She encourages nonprofits to embrace these best practices to create impactful and responsible storytelling campaigns. As she aptly puts it, “It’s doing the right thing.”You can also listen to the show on your favorite podcast channel.

Year-End Tips For Fundraising Success! [Video]

In this lively episode, Micah James, Manager of Professional Services at Bloomerang.co, shares insights on how nonprofits can enhance their year-end fundraising efforts. Micah starts with the importance of authenticity in nonprofit messaging during this busy season, advising organizations to avoid cookie-cutter approaches and instead showcase their unique missions and impact. Micah encourages nonprofits to communicate authentically, connecting with their local communities and highlighting their specific contributions to solving community problems. She points out that unique approaches tend to resonate more with donors, stating, “It’s really about connecting not only with your community—where are you located? What’s your context? —but also, what do you do in that community to solve that community’s problems?” The conversation also covers the use of video in nonprofit communications. Micah recommends short (90-second or less) videos to provide a distinctive touch and make supporters feel connected to the organization’s work. Authenticity was key, and she advised against over-editing, encouraging nonprofits to showcase their day-to-day operations and impact. Micah urges, “90 seconds or less is like that perfect sauce. So it’s not too long, not too short—just letting me say, ‘Hey, how are you? This is us. Come on in. Don’t you want to be a part of this?'” The hosts asked about the challenge of nonprofits operating remotely or without a physical presence to showcase. Micah digs into storytelling and capturing the essence of the organization through conversations, even if it’s a virtual tour or discussion among team members. This episode also describes the importance of maintaining a consistent brand image throughout the donation process, including on landing pages. Micah stresses the need to minimize friction in the donation process, ensuring that donors feel safe and comfortable, advising nonprofits to test their own donation experiences, stating, “If you haven’t gone through your own donor experience yourself, do it today, like before the end of the day, donate a dollar and see how it feels all the way through so you know what your donors.” Watch the entire episode and you will gain practical advice for your NPO to optimize year-end fundraising efforts, focusing on authenticity, effective use of video, and maintaining brand consistency to create a compelling donor experienceYou can also listen to the show on your favorite podcast channel.
