 Let's see. Okay. Hello, everyone. Thanks for joining us today. We're going to give it a second so more people can enter the webinar. Congratulations on another amazing Give Local NRV. We're going to start here shortly and cover just a couple different things to kind of wrap up post-event. So thanks for joining us. I'm going to start in a second. Alrighty. So welcome to the Give Local NRV post-webinar. My name is Sarah. I am a project manager for Give Local NRV with Mighty Cause, the platform provider for the event. So for pretty much for today's post-webinar, we're going to talk through different ways how you can kind of close the loop on the 2022 giving event, review how you can continue using the platform on a year-round basis. And of course, we are also going to make the big announcement for this year's winners for this year's event. We also have Jess and Lindsay on with us. I'm going to pass the mic over to both of them so they can see a few congratulatory words to you all. Go for it. It's been good to be with you today and just wanted to echo what Sarah said. Great job this year. It was really fun to be a part of the event. I think probably most of you know that I just started at the Community Foundation at the end of April. So it was fun to have a really big project to work on when I first started. And Laurie and yes, I have gotten some rats and I hope everyone else did too. A couple 1 a.m.s in a row. I'm not used to that. And I think Jess is finishing up lunch so we can maybe hear from her later. Sounds good. All right, so I'm going to show you a quick agenda slide. Like I said, we're going to review some tips on how to follow up post-giving event, kind of talk about how you can find and use your donor reports from the event. Look at some disbursement dates for you all. We'll also kind of share how you can continue getting the most out of the platform even after the event has ended. Because as most of you probably know, some might be new, this platform is available to you year round. So if you have any questions, you can feel free to type them into the Q&A chat bubble during our presentation. It'll be kind of a quick presentation. So if you think of anything, feel free to send them over. You don't need to wait till the end. So giving day a follow-up. So with Give Local NRV Complete, it's time to consider your follow-up post-event if you haven't already done so. You're really going to want to go beyond the platform tools and our automated thank-yous on the donation page. So if you haven't already, start planning your thank-yous to donors. Anything like making a video, sharing a personal photo of your staff can be really good for this. Really trying to make a connection with your donors after they've contributed to your campaign. When thanking donors and continuing communication with your donors, you definitely want to be sure to talk about the impact of the funds that you raised during your event. And overall, the goal is to really close the loop on your campaign. So this means if you are fundraising for something specific, say on your piece of equipment, any improvements to a building, anything that you were campaigning for, you'll really just want them in. Sorry, it might be me. Is anyone else having trouble hearing Sarah? I have issues in my office with Wi-Fi, so just wondering. I can take out my headphones. And I'm able to hear okay on my end. Okay, it's probably me again. Jess, I'm going to come join you in your office. Yeah, come on in. Okay, well, if anyone can't hear me at some point, just let me know. I'm using a headset. Alrighty, so pretty much just at the end of the campaign, you really want to close that loop. So like I was saying, if you are fundraising for something specific, even if you are fundraising for a general fund, just kind of tying that loop, making the connection with the donor, letting them know where their dollars will go, thanking them, and then just continuing that communication with them throughout the rest of the year is really key. Updating them, sending emails periodically on your progress. What you'll want to do is just make sure you keep them connected to your organization. You don't want a donor to give during the event and then the communication just dies after that. If you have new donors who gave during the event, you'll definitely want to start making sure that you have an onboarding plan in place for new donors. You want them to come back to donate to you again. So you can consider things, kind of creative little ways to make a connection, make these new donors feel seen, let them know that they're appreciated. A lot of organizations consider mailing a welcome packet as a fun way to get them onboarded. You can create an automated email journey where they can start to get information about what you do year round and why it's really important to continue to support your work. So overall, thinking and appreciating your donors is going to be essential to retaining donors. You know, you might be thinking, well, this is a lot of time and energy, but it really costs less to retain an existing donor than to acquire a new one. So all the time, any money, any effort you put into thanking your donors, creating welcome packets, all that's going to be very well spent. Donors that are feeling appreciated and valued on an ongoing basis are definitely likely to stick with your organization for the long run and just really continue providing you that valuable support for years to come. Reports and disbursements. So within your organization profile, you're going to be able to view your donation report and as well as your disbursements. You can download a detailed donation report and a CSV file at any time through your organization profile to thank and follow up with individual donors to tabulate kind of your donation values, number of donors. So you can find all this information within your reports, all donations tab on your organization dashboard. From this section, you can filter by the giving event itself to pull your data. So if you go in there, you can select give a look at NRV 2022 and you can pull specific data just from the event timeframe. You can also select custom timeframes because like I said, this platform is available to you on a year-round basis. So you can pull donation reports from any point of during the year. Just you'll enter in the custom timeframe. Regarding disbursements for the 2020, sorry 2022 event, the money is going to be dispersed by July 10th. So in general, electronic dispersals through many calls are going to happen twice a month on a consistent schedule of like the 10th and the 25th of each month. So that's if you're set up with EFT that's twice a month. If you're not set up with EFT checks are dispersed once a month on the 10th of the month. So you can expect to check mail to the legal mailing address that's listed in your organization profile. And if you need to check this legal address, you can see it on file within your settings organization profile tab. Continuing the momentum. So this is going to be really important. Even though the give local NRV 2022 event has ended, this platform give local NRV and money cause is available to you and your organization on a year-round basis, which is very cool. So just be sure to take full advantage to know of all the tools and the resources that are available to your organization during the year. I kind of screenshot it and listed here everything you have continued access to within your organization profile. Now is a really great time to kind of take some slow time to dive deeper into any of the tools and features available to you that you might have not had time to kind of explore during the busyness of the campaign. You may have been like hyper focused on certain areas of your page and not been able to check out others. So if there's any features you didn't get a chance to check out, just take a moment now, you know, things are slower where you kind of explore those tools available to you. If you do feel like you could benefit from really slowing down and having someone walk you through your profile page, you can always set up a demo with a member of the mighty cause team. They can kind of tour you around screen share with you, take you a bit more in depth in the different features that we have as well as show you any kind of additional advanced features we have available. So if you're looking at this and wondering if there's some way to integrate with Salesforce or MailChimp, Google Analytics and that, we do have that option available. So if that's something you're curious about, you can always set up a demo. These are kind of the advanced features that are available that you could also do a free trial for. So this is part of the advanced package, but of course the slide before this is showing you what you have continued access to throughout the year. Super exciting news. We are very excited to also announce that in celebration of Give Local NRV's 10th anniversary next year, starting this fall for all participating Give Local NRV orgs, Mighty Cause has gifted two new advanced features for use on all of the Give Local NRV organization pages and this is going to be text to give and opportunities management. I'm going to explain a little bit next year for, well it's not totally next year, but in the fall we can kind of talk more about this and do like a deeper dive and a tutorial for you all. But you can utilize text to give for campaigns or general fund needs. Text to give is going to provide your donors pretty much the ability to donate directly from any smartphones or any devices. In a nutshell, you're going to create a unique keyword to set it up. Once the donor texts your keyword to a phone number, they're going to receive a response. They'll click the link in their text message. They can complete their donation within this kind of message interface and whatever amount they choose, Mighty Cause is then going to send their donation information, confirmation receipt and it's really cool just because text to give is going to provide you another really wonderful avenue and opportunity for your donors to continue donating to your cause in another easy way. Briefly on the opportunities tool, which is a brand new feature on Mighty Cause, it's going to help you share new and ongoing volunteer opportunities, any calendar events you might have, help you manage current opportunities, really just expand your reach within your support network, your donors, anyone who's supporting you quickly and easily. New opportunities you create are going to be added directly to your organization page under a new section that's going to be called Get Involved. Volunteers can click on that opportunity that you create to learn more about it. They can click a register button found on the bottom right corner. If the opportunity is managed directly on the platform, the Mighty Cause platform, when an individual registers for your opportunity or your workshop or your event, they'll receive a pop-up notification, they'll be emailed. If you are managing, you can also have the opportunity to manage your event on a third-party platform like EventPrite if you need them to get a ticket. So when the user is going to register for an opportunity like that, they'll be taken directly to the link you provide when you create your opportunity and you very easily can view all of the individuals that have registered for your opportunity within your Opportunities tool. So those are two super cool new features. We're excited to have you explore and just really help you continue engaging with your donors and supporters. Already, I'm going to pass it back over to Jess and Lindsay for our big 2022 winner announcement. You're muted. You are, isn't he? Okay. Go for it. In your sound, it's... I can turn it on. Okay, I'll turn it on now. Okay, sorry. We're having... You're in the same room with the same mic, so you're good. You don't want an echo. Yeah, exactly. And I'm sitting right next to Jess, but my internet's on staple. So everyone, we probably, most of you have seen the leaderboard. We have a couple of grants that we haven't announced yet. So we just wanted to go through the winners and just say great job again. And we realized when we were counting up the grants that we had actually miscounted, but it was a goodness count. We thought we had $15,000 available. It was actually $16,500. And so we had 18 grants available this year. And we're excited to share. So if Sarah, if you want to advance the slide, thanks. So early giving was a lot of fun to watch this year and to see everyone kind of kicked Junof with some friendly competition. And probably a lot of you saw Spring House come in hot, frankly, with their donations. And they get a lot of parents and students involved. So it's pretty exciting. That was pretty exciting to watch. So they ran away with their early giving superstar grant. And that when it's given to the organization that raises the most money during that period. So they get an extra $1,000 for that. And then for most money raised. So as probably folks know, but if just to refresh her on how we approach it is we, if someone gets a grant that knocks them out of the running for the other grants, and they're also eligible for a power hour or golden ticket as well, but try to make it so one organization isn't winning every category. So that meant that even though Spring House had the most amount raised, under money raise, the grant for this one actually went to the YMCA for who came in second. So great job to you all and exciting to see what you all are going to do with the food truck. For medium and large organizations, Floyd Center for the Arts beat the Montgomery Museum just by a little bit. You all were working so hard and we saw that. And so nice job to everyone there, but Floyd came out with it at the end and then leading lives for small organizations. And just another, I probably should have said this in the beginning and you all probably remember, but we determine those categories based on budget size for everyone who submits for the year. So once we closed registration, we looked at the whole list and did it by third. So who's in the lower third for budgets in the middle and then the top and that will shift a little bit each year. So congratulations to all of you guys. And so, and then moving into most unique donors for large organizations. I mean, these numbers are pretty amazing. So St. John Newman Academy had 246 donations. Medium organization was Cal Fee Community Center, Community and Cultural Center at 127. And I know I saw them on social media a lot and they're did a great job there. So in the same thing with Jals County Christian Service Mission for small organizations, they had 42 gifts. So way to go for all of you. That was all really fun to watch. So Sarah, if you'd like to go to the next one and then Springhouse also won another grant for most money raised using peer to peer fundraising tools. And so how those work is your supporters can set up their own individual funding fundraising page and they had 17 different pages and raised a little over 16,000, I believe. So they really use that tool well. So it'd be great to hear more from them kind of their strategy about how they utilize that. And it's, I think that they're probably a great organization for that in the school setting to engage their constituents but definitely see it being used with other organizations. And then early giving superstars. So, pardon me, giving day superstars. So this one was both hard to choose and fun to choose because we saw so many organizations out there working so hard and just using creative ways to engage donors, great PR strategies. So we just talked to them and staff about folks who we thought really did a really awesome job of kind of getting into the spirit of give local. And we thought that the Montgomery Museum of Art and History and the Wilderness Road Regional Museum both did really wonderful jobs this year. And I think that these grants would be fun to give out to a bunch more people but just had two available this year and just wanted to say great job to you all and we saw how hard you were working and it was a lot of fun to watch. So congratulations to everybody. Awesome, thanks. Congratulations to all of our winners this year. So two final things that I wanted to just quickly touch on. We would love to hear your feedback on your experience this year. So we have a feedback form on the site. So if you just head to the give local NRV.org site you'll see a link, a button in the nav bar for feedback. It's six questions, super short. We would just love to hear anything you thought worked well, anything that you would like to see improved, anything you want to see more of if there was a prize. I think the team would love to hear just your overall thoughts anything you would like to see. So you can head over to the site and take that and then just as a reminder because this platform is available to you year round this means that our support is also available to you year round. So I just want to make sure you have all the resources the contact info for you as you continue to just kind of get the most out of the platform utilizing the features and the tools available to you. There's any features you're curious about if you need help with anything just let us know let the mighty cause to support team now. And of course if you want to check out a demo you can reach out to our team and we can get that set up for you as well. So if anyone has any final questions we can take those now or else. Thank you to all of you for taking the time out of your day to join us and congratulations on an amazing event this year. Sarah, I'll just add another plug for filling out the feedback form. It's six questions. We tried to make it short but any comments help whether something frustrated you or something went really well or whatever the feedback is we're reading all of them and it really helps. And we also have a question on there about potentially changing the format of giving day next year and thinking about it doing it from noon to noon versus midnight to midnight and we haven't made that decision yet and so we're really looking for feedback to hear from folks about what they think. And we're still working on getting out t-shirts so it's just first come first serve if you would like them. I've already pushed t-shirts on a number of people but please come and get them out. Don't want them just sitting around but hoping to get them in earlier next year so maybe pick up will be easier. And then one more thing that I wanted to add we've got a question about pulling your donation report and I just wanted to mention how to do that because I had the same question being the new one at the foundation. When I went into download our donor report it looked like it was just downloading a file for offline donations but just make sure you go and look at your downloads because what it does is it you'll have two separate files that download. So one is the offline donation spreadsheet and then one is the online donation spreadsheet and so it might just take a little bit to download but both of those should show up but if they're not for some reason just let's know and we can help you out there. That's good. I don't see any questions coming through so I just want to congratulate you all one last time. You've worked so hard. I know there's a lot of buildup and prep for this event so I hope you can all just take some time to celebrate all that you've accomplished within your organization. So thank you for joining us today everyone. Have a good rest of your day. Thanks everybody. Bye.
